By empty (7/3/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Kremlin adviser Modest Kolerov told Interfax on July 1 that more than 1 million Russians, most of them \"professionals\" currently living in unspecified countries that are undergoing \"a socioeconomic crisis,\" plan to take advantage of the repatriation program announced by President Putin on June 26. That program guarantees benefits and support for persons who agree to settle in border regions in the Far East. Returnees will also be permitted to settle in regions where the population is declining rapidly, or where major investment programs are under way.Visit also
