Immigrants living in Russia should assimilate into Russian life and culture, and not remain "an enclave that lives on its own," said Federation Council Chairwoman Valentina Matvinko.
She noted that in some countries the immigration policy remained without proper attention, and this did not lead to good results.
"This idea of multiculturalism, he didn't catch on, unfortunately. ".
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.
