Combater a Crise Demográfica

The government is trying to head off the country’s severe population decline by luring back Russians who live abroad as well as their descendants.

Moscow has spent $300 million in the past two years to get the repatriation program started, and officials estimated that more than 25 million people were eligible, many of them ethnic Russians who found themselves living in former Soviet republics after the Soviet collapse in 1991.
