The Russian Ministry of the Interior, on behalf of the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, prepared recommendations for heads of regions regarding the prevention of the formation and separation of immigrant enclaves. The head of the department, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, announced this during the government hour at the Federation Council.
According to Kolokoltsev, solving the problem requires an integrated approach and cannot be limited only to law enforcement measures. In particular, the provision of housing for foreign workers by large employers should be taken into account.
"But the main thing is that everyone understands very well that they cannot be allowed to live in an enclave under any circumstances," emphasized the head of the Ministry of the Interior.
The minister noted that international experience shows the complexity of solving the problem. According to him, this concerns not only foreign citizens, but also immigrants who have already received Russian citizenship, as well as their children. Kolokoltsev added that the regional authorities must play an important role in this work.
On November 6, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin announced that the Federal Court Service (FSSP) forcibly deported 63,500 foreign citizens from Russia in January-September 2026 who violated the law.
Since November 3, the list of administrative offenses for which foreign citizens can be deported from the country has more than doubled in Russia. The list of new grounds included minor hooliganism, violation of the procedure for holding public events, disobeying the legal requirements of police officers and defaming the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Expulsion was also determined for calls for the introduction of sanctions against Russia and the violation of its territorial integrity.
