‼ Yogra restores order: 6 times more immigrants are deported and 2.7 times fewer crimes committed by them Yogra strengthens immigration control: 2,135 foreign citizens were deported in 2026, compared to 343 in 2025. At the same time, the number of crimes committed by foreigners in the region decreased 2.7 times, Governor Ruslan Kokaruk said. In the first nine months of 2026, 20.9% fewer foreigners entered Yogra than in the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease is due to the increased supervision of the purposes of foreigners' arrival and employers who employ foreign workers. The number of decisions to deny permits to foreign citizens and the stateless also increased 1.5 times. The number of denials of Russian citizenship increased 7.2 times. As of January 1, 2027, Yogra will expand the list of economic activities that prohibit the employment of foreign workers. Restrictions will apply to 30 sectors. The new list includes bread and sweets production, storage, goods collection points and activities of cultural and sports organizations. Restrictions will also affect cultural and sports services. When making this decision, the authorities took into account the residents' requests. Kokharok summarized the results of the fight against illegal immigration. "We have focused on those who are not going to obey our laws. And we are seeing the results of this work. The number of foreign nationals who were deported increased sixfold. We will continue this work," he emphasized. "There are really qualified experts who arrive for a certain period of time, work and leave at the appointed time. But those who do not intend to obey our laws, our way of life, our customs and our culture, of course, have no right to be here," Kokruk stated. Caravans: |.
