In the course of time, rural migrationwas outnumbered by rural-urban migration (including intraregional migration),thus leading to the urbanization. Large scale movements of the population inRussia stopped when the negative consequences of the overpopulation wereovercome, and the population increase was replaced with low growth and evennegative population growth in most of the regions.2.The increase of the population mobility in Russia in the end of 19 thcentury and in the beginning of 20th century, resulted in the formation of theso-called “core donor regions” in the central part of the country.Overpopulated rural areas in the European part of Russia, as well as in the majorpart of the contemporary Ukraine and Belarus, emerged as “core donor regions” ofmigrants going to periphery territories such as Volga area, Urals, Novorossiya,Northern Kazakhstan, and later, when these areas became populated, to Siberia andthe Far East, as well as to the Central Asia and the Transcaucasia, though lessfrequently.
The ‘core donor regions’ preserved their function during the period ofindustrial and urban development of the Asian part of the country. At the sametime, many regions in Siberia and the Far East could not retain the newcomers dueto their poor adaptation: a large inflow of migrants to these areas was followed bya large outflow of people.
In recent years, another trend is observed: the ‘coredonor regions’ disappear while ‘core destination regions’ emerge.3.In 1959-1989, net migration contributed substantially to the urbanpopulation increase, especially in the central, southern and north-westernregions of Russia. For the cities of Siberia, the natural population increaseoutnumbered net migration, despite large migration flows from European toAsian part of the country. In the regions of the Far East, net migration was moresignificant until 1960s, while later it was equal to natural increase.
Until 1980s,rural population dynamics in Russia was characterized by natural increase and11negative net migration. In 1989-2010, depopulation affected most of the regions ofRussia, thus, migration becoming the key determinant of the population dynamics.4.Migrationdirectionsarecharacterizedbygenerationaldifferentiation. For generations born before 1940, it is more characteristic toparticipate in interregional migration flows directed from the center to theperiphery. Later generations of migrants chose the reverse direction. Starting withthe generation of 1965, who are mostly represented by people born in urban areas,we observe urban-to-urban migration flows.5.Using the data of the Russia population census of 2010, the authorcalculates the number of international immigrants belonging to ethnic groupsmostly residing outside of Russia.
Although Russia is placed among countrieswith highest numbers of foreign-born population, it is still emerging as animmigration destination for international migrants belonging to ethnic groups notfound on its territory. Around 11 million people in Russia are foreign-bornresidents. About 2/3 of these are people who arrived in Russia from former Sovietrepublics before 1991 or returned to Russia as ‘repatriants’ (meaning they belongto one of the ethnic groups traditionally residing on the territory of Russia) – theinflow of repatriants has almost ceased by 2010.
Thus, only 1/3 of foreign bornresidents in Russia are people belonging to ethnic groups mostly residing outsideof the territory of Russia.Reliability and approbation of the research findingsReliability of the research findings is ensured by the usage of relativelyreliable sources of statistical data (population census and microcensus,administrative data, representative surveys data), as well as by the application ofthe modern methods of research (including demographic analysis methods), and bythe presentation of the main findings of the research at the international andRussian conferences, and by publication of the selected parts of the research inpeer-reviewed academic journals.The key arguments of the research have been presented and discussed atthe following conferences and workshops: IV Russian Sociological Congress12“Sociology and Society: Global Challenges and Regional Development” (Ufa,2012); «International Conference on Public Policy and Governance 2012» (India,Bangalore, Indian Institute of Science, 2012); 3rd and 4th International Scientificand Practical Conference of Students and Young Scientists “Statistical Methods ofAnalysis of Economics and Society” (Moscow, National Research Institute HigherSchool of Economics, 2012, 2013) VII Conference in Memory of Yuriy Levada“Modern Russian Society and Sociology” (Moscow, National Research InstituteHigher School of Economics, 2013); conference “Problems of RegionalDevelopment and Nature Management: Perspective of Young Scientists” (StPetersburg, St.

The dissertation also includes33 figures, 22 tables and 11 appendices.14Chapter 1 outlines basic theoretical approaches used in the research tostudy migration processes.
It also systematizes Russian sources of data used forstudying migration impact on the population size and structure. Additionally,Chapter 1 contains evaluation of the previous research on migration based on thepopulation census data, and outlines the main determinants of the migrationprocesses transformation. Finally, chapter 1 defines basic indicators describingimpact of migration on the size and structure of population in the regions ofRussia.Chapter 2 analyses transformation of migration processes in 19th-21thcenturies, compares net migration with natural population increase, and describesthe relationship between demographic changes and migration patterns taking intoaccount their regional differences.Chapter 3 studies regional migration and adaptation of immigrants invarious regions of Russia.
Additionally, it explores how socio-demographiccharacteristics of the population (sex, age, marital status, generation, ethnicity,occupation) are related to migration experience of the population and selectivity ofmigration.Conclusion summarizes main results of the research.Appendix includes additional materials and illustrations.PublicationsThe author has published 12 academic articles on the subject of thedissertation research, 8.1 author sheets in total (personal contribution of the authoris 7.6 author sheets), including 2 articles in academic journals indexed in Scopus(one of the articles is published in the journal indexed in Web of Science), 2articles published in the journals included into the list of academic journalsrecommended by the National Research Institute Higher School of Economics.Papers published by the author in peer-reviewed academic journalsincluded into the international scientific databases Web of Science andScopus:151.
