Deputies of the State Duma have proposed relocating foreigners away from schools and kindergartens.
Deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the “LDPR” faction have put forward a proposal to move migrants further away from institutions for minors, particularly schools and kindergartens.
According to them, this will help protect children from potential attacks, and children will not witness the antisocial lifestyle that some newcomers may lead.
According to the initiative, migrants will not only be required to live more than 200 meters away from schools and kindergartens, but they will also be unable to register in premises intended for the presence of children.
“In practice, it is quite common for a group of migrants repairing preschool and school institutions to live there as well, which should not be the case, as such proximity is dangerous for children,” said LDPR Chairman Leonid Slutsky.
As a negative example, Slutsky cited the city of Perm, where a kindergarten building was handed over to a private company for the accommodation of migrant workers, while it is still officially listed as a preschool educational institution.
After the attack on the “Krokus City Hall” concert venue, in which citizens of Tajikistan are suspected, thousands of Tajik migrants in Russian cities and regions have undergone mass checks and raids. Tajik labor migrants complain that during these raids, law enforcement officers detain even those who have all their documents in order, take them to the police station, and keep them there without food and a place to sleep, treating them poorly. After this, migrants were mass deported, with some forcibly taken to military enlistment offices for further dispatch to the war in Ukraine.
Also following these events, Russian legislative authorities are continuously tightening migration legislation.
Starting from February 2025, a bill will come into force prohibiting foreign citizens from working in schools, the pharmaceutical sector, state medical institutions, taxis, and freight transportation throughout the country.
