Free preparatory Russian language courses for migrants

In Dushanbe, authorities are organizing free preparatory courses for anyone wishing to work in Russia.

The state institution “Centers for Consulting and Preparing Migrants Before Departure” of the Migration Service of the Ministry of Labor, Migration, and Employment of the Population of Tajikistan is conducting free courses for citizens who intend to take exams in the Russian language, history, and the fundamentals of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

It is reported that all citizens of Tajikistan can participate in these courses, and the goal of this program is to improve the preparedness of candidates for the exams necessary for employment and legal residence in Russia.

According to the center, classes are held twice a week, specifically on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 09:00 to 12:00 at the address: Dushanbe, Ayni Street, 121.

The courses for preparing migrants are taking place against the backdrop of new bills from Russian lawmakers aimed at tightening the requirements for passing exams in the Russian language, history, and the fundamentals of the legislation of the Russian Federation for foreign citizens.

In particular, earlier, the chairman of the “Just Russia—For Truth” party, Sergey Mironov, called for limiting the number of attempts for foreigners to pass the exam in the Russian language, history, and the fundamentals of the legislation of Russia.

According to Mironov, the current rules do not provide for restrictions on the number of attempts to pass the exam, although this is a key condition for legalizing their stay in the country, and for this reason, many migrants view it merely as a formal procedure.

Mironov’s party has appealed to the head of the Russian government, Mikhail Mishustin, with a proposal to reduce the number of attempts to pass the exam to three.
