Immigrants living in Russia should assimilate into Russian life and culture, and not remain "an enclave that lives by itself" - Chairman of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Matvinko.
The Federation Council noted that in some countries the immigration policy remained without proper attention, and this did not lead to good results:
This idea of multiculturalism, unfortunately, did not take root.
Matvinko emphasized that the legislators should think about creating additional conditions that would allow the Ministry of the Interior to conduct a civilized immigration policy.
