The “Migrant Bulletin” e-mail, as well as our group, often receives the same type of questions from residents of the South-East of Ukraine, in particular, from residents of the DPR and LPR. The editors of Migrant Bulletin have prepared answers to them.

Are DPR/LPR passports recognized in Russia?

Yes, passports issued by the authorities of the DPR/LPR are recognized in Russia by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 18, 2017 N 74 “On the recognition in the Russian Federation of documents and registration plates of vehicles issued to citizens of Ukraine and stateless persons permanently residing in the territories of certain regions of Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine".

The full text of the decree can be found in this article

Note! By this decree, DPR/LPR passports are equated to passports of citizens of Ukraine, and not Russian passports. For the Russian authorities, residents of Donbass with DPR/LPR passports are Ukrainian citizens; in Russia, all the rules apply to them, as for other citizens of Ukraine

What documents of the DPR/LPR are recognized in the Russian Federation, in addition to passports?

Here is a complete list of documents issued on the territory of the DPR and recognized in Russia:

documents on education and (or) qualifications (diplomas, certificates);

birth certificate;

certificate of marriage or divorce;

certificate of name change;

death certificate;

vehicle registration certificate;

vehicle registration plates (license plates);

Note! Driver's licenses issued in the DPR/LPR are not listed in the presidential decree and are not valid in Russia.

Does the “90/180 rule” apply to citizens of the DPR/LPR?

Yes, of course, the “90/180 rule” applies to all citizens of Ukraine, including residents of the DPR/LPR.

Here we need to remember that despite the fact that the “90/180 rule” was introduced on January 1, 2014, the Russian authorities “turned a blind eye” to violations of this rule by Ukrainian citizens. From August 1, 2015, the “90/180 rule” began to apply to all citizens of Ukraine, except for residents of the DPR/LPR, whose migration registration (popularly known as “registration”) was extended without any conditions. However, the preferential extension of migration registration is gradually ending, and in most Russian regions it has already been cancelled.

In which Russian regions are temporary asylum granted or extended?

There are almost no regions left in Russia where temporary asylum is extended or given to immigrants from Donbass. However, there are such regions, but whether they will give you a license or not - you need to check on the spot. This information cannot be found on the Internet.

In the Moscow region, residents of the DPR/LPR are extended their stay until 06/01/17. You can find out more about this here.

If there is temporary asylum, is it possible to leave Russia?

No you can not. Now, with a certificate of temporary asylum, you cannot leave the Russian Federation at all. Before this, you could borrow your Ukrainian passport from the migration service for a while (most often 10 days) and leave the Russian Federation. Upon return, return your passport and take your ID back. Now, in order to get your passport to travel, you need to give up your temporary asylum!

Moreover, the actions of the employees of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (FMS) are absolutely legal, they act on the basis of Federal Law of February 19, 1993 N 4528-I “On Refugees”, Article 12, paragraph 5, subparagraph 3:

Previously, FMS employees were instructed not to pay much attention to this circumstance, but with the abolition of the FMS, the Russian authorities “remembered” this legal requirement.

Are migration cards issued to residents of the DPR/LPR?

Yes, they do. However, in some cases, you need to specifically ask the border guard to issue a “migration permit”. We wrote about this:

Article on the topic:

What to do if a migration card was not issued at the border?

Let's summarize: the Russian authorities do not recognize either the DPR or the LPR, and consider the residents of these territories as citizens of Ukraine, with all the ensuing consequences.

Integration of Donbass: The State Duma will abolish patents for citizens of the DPR and LPR

By the end of March, bills designed to facilitate the stay in Russia of citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics will be submitted to the State Duma for consideration.

The Parliamentary Newspaper writes about this.

Migrants instead of compatriots

There are currently two initiatives in development: the first proposes to abolish the limitation on the length of stay of migrants, the second proposes the need to obtain a patent for employment. Amendments to Federal Law No. 115 “On the legal status of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation” apply to migrants who have documents issued in the DPR and LPR.

“I consider it right to insist on a complete migration amnesty for residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.

For this, there is both political will and the corresponding instrument - the February (dated February 18, 2021 - editor's note) presidential decree on the recognition of documents of the LPR and DPR,” one of the authors of the bills emphasized in an interview with the Parliamentary Gazette, Member of the State Duma Committee on Financial Market Andrey Kozenko.

Until now, attempts to ease the migration burden for migrants from Donbass have looked like half measures, the deputy believes.

“It all comes down to solving the problems of staying people who are called “migrants”. The word “compatriots” is not mentioned anywhere.

At the same time, we are talking about people who are at the forefront of protecting the Russian world. We line up these people,” the legislator explained.

The migration situation in Russia forces the authorities to take a rather tough position towards migrants. Hence the “90/180” rules, patents, and so on. These rules apply to visitors from visa-free countries - Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Moldova.

For now, they also apply to residents of Donbass, including those who have DPR or LPR passports, since in Russia they are officially considered citizens of Ukraine, which never joined the EAEU.

Difficulties of resettlement

But taking into account the conditions prevailing in the Donbass republics, such an attitude towards migrants on the part of Russia is simply inhumane, a member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, Sergei Tsekov, who is also involved in the development of bills on a migration amnesty, is convinced.

“Firstly, there is fighting there, and people are leaving the front-line areas. Secondly, both republics are under blockade - economic, transport, periodically there is a water blockade, industry has been stopped there,” the senator explained.

According to him, residents of Donbass go to Russia for two reasons: some are fleeing hostilities, others are looking for work to provide for their families remaining in the region.

Now, without a patent or other permits, people from Donbass can stay in Russia for a total of 90 days out of 180. That is, if a person has continuously stayed in our country for 90 days, then he must spend the next three months outside the Russian state.

The scale of the problem will be illustrated by simple statistics from the website of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation: during 2021, about 1.8 million people arrived in Russia from Ukraine and Donbass. More precisely, so many people registered for migration - this is the only public form of registration of arriving citizens.

Of these, the vast majority - about 1.6 million people - oh, that is, they are subject to the “90/180” rule.

All these people need to obtain a patent in order to work in Russia. And this requires costs.

“A labor patent itself costs a certain amount of money (in Moscow, for example, 4,500 rubles per month - editor's note). And in order to get it, you need to undergo medical examinations, pass exams, and so on. According to our information, in total it costs 10–15 thousand rubles,” said Sergei Tsekov.

According to the senator, the measures proposed in the bill are temporary, just like the fundamental decree of President Vladimir Putin on the recognition of “republican” documents. “When the war in Donbass ends, then we will cancel all this. Maybe. Or maybe we won’t cancel it—life will tell,” the legislator summed up.

Receipt procedure

A person can become a citizen of the Russian Federation:

• upon birth;
• during life;
• restored to its affiliation with Russia.

Federal Law No. 62-FZ establishes the procedure in which Russian citizenship by birthright is acquired by a foreign citizen or stateless person.

General procedure

The general procedure is relevant for any foreign citizen or stateless person who:

• has a residence permit and has been living under it in the Russian Federation for at least 5 years;
• has a means of subsistence (earns money, has bank deposits or savings);
• speaks Russian;
• ready to comply with the Constitution and laws of Russia;
• applied for Russian citizenship.

All these conditions must be met simultaneously.

The period of residence in Russia with a residence permit is reduced to 1 year for:

• refugees;
• people who have been granted political asylum;
• outstanding figures of culture, art or science.

Simplified procedure

The simplified procedure involves the provision of citizenship to persons who do not have five years of living experience in the Russian Federation with a residence permit. The same procedure establishes the acquisition of Russian citizenship for citizens of the DPR in 2021, although rules about the DPR and LPR were introduced by separate presidential decrees.

As a general rule, the following may apply for a simplified procedure:

• people living abroad of Russia, who have at least one parent who is Russian and lives here;
• former citizens of the USSR who live in one of the member countries of the USSR and do not have any citizenship;
• spouse of a citizen of the Russian Federation, if the marriage was concluded more than 3 years ago;
• disabled parents of adult Russian citizens;
• Individual entrepreneurs (individual entrepreneurs) who have been working in the Russian Federation in this status for at least 36 months and have paid at least 1 million rubles in taxes to the budget;
• investors of large enterprises (share in the authorized capital - at least 10%, term - from 3 years, the size of the authorized capital of the enterprise - from 100 million rubles, the amount of taxes paid by a legal entity - from 6 million rubles);
• highly qualified specialists working in the country for at least 3 years;
• graduates of Russian universities after July 1, 2002, who have been working for more than 3 years, and the employer pays insurance contributions to the Pension Fund for them;
• a foreign parent of an incapacitated child - a citizen of the Russian Federation, if the second parent was also a citizen and died or was deprived of parental rights.

Compatriots Resettlement Program

The program for the resettlement of compatriots started in 2006. It is focused on the return of native Russians to their homeland. Compatriots are recognized as persons belonging to the nationalities that historically inhabited our country, immigrants from the Russian Federation, the USSR, who had Russian citizenship but lost it, descendants of immigrants from the Russian state, the Russian Federation or the USSR.

Recognizing yourself as a Russian compatriot is voluntary, but to obtain official status you must confirm your commitment to the Russian spirit and culture. Such confirmation will be any actions aimed at preserving and popularizing Russian culture: protecting and teaching the Russian language, public activities aimed at strengthening friendly relations between the countries of residence of compatriots, activities to protect the rights of Russians.

The benefit for compatriots is that for this they do not need to obtain a residence permit and live in Russia for five years; they do not need a confirmed source of livelihood or even confirmed knowledge of the Russian language.

For native speakers

A specially created commission recognizes a person permanently residing in the Russian Federation as a native speaker of the Russian language, and this person receives a Russian passport while simultaneously meeting only three conditions:

• willingness to comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and its laws;
• availability of a source of income;
• renunciation of citizenship of another state, if any.

Patent tax system: what is it?

After the Law “On the Tax System” came into force, another tax system appeared in the Donetsk People’s Republic - the patent one. Many entrepreneurs wondered whether it would suit them and rushed to get clarification about the new law. Moreover, the innovation prompted residents of the republic to think about opening their own business, because for a developing business such a load seems quite feasible.

The law makes several main points:

• This system sets turnover limits - up to 1 million Russian rubles per year.
• Also, the patent prohibits engaging in foreign economic activity.
• The patent is issued at your choice - for a period of 1 to 12 months. The validity period is extended by noting the payment on the back of the patent, but should not exceed 12 calendar months, or a new patent is issued.
• A feature of the patent system is the selection and implementation of only one type of activity. If a patent was issued for a specific type of activity, you do not have the right to engage in other types of activity, even if they are included in the list of permitted ones.

Entry procedure for residents of Donbass to work in the Russian Federation in 2020

In order to legalize the situation in Russia, a foreigner should follow the following procedure when traveling to the territory of the country:

If a citizen of Ukraine loses a certificate of education in the USSR, if the document was issued before September 1, 1999, then you should contact a specialized institution to take a test on knowledge of the Russian language and the fundamentals of Russian history.

Attention: you must apply for a patent no later than within 30 calendar days after passing border control in Russia. If this condition is violated, the foreigner will be subject to a fine of 10,000 -15,000 rubles

Data on the commission of an administrative offense are entered into the archive of the database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. If two such offenses are committed, deportation will follow with a ban on entry into the Russian Federation for 3-5 years, depending on the category of the person entering - in a general or simplified manner.

Peculiarities of hiring citizens of the DPR/LPR

1 of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of February 18, 2017 No. 74, documents, including passports, issued in the DPR and LPR, referred to in the decree as separate regions of Ukraine, Donetsk and Lugansk regions, are recognized in Russia as identity documents.

It follows from this that citizens of Ukraine living on the territory of the self-proclaimed republics have the right to present these documents when applying for employment, in accordance with the provisions of Art. 65 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. However, the decree is applied temporarily, that is, until a political settlement of the situation in the region.

Consequently, in the event of the end of the armed conflict in Ukraine, this measure may be canceled, the passports of citizens of the self-proclaimed republics will cease to be documents identifying their owners, and they themselves may end up in Russia with an unsettled legal status, which can be risky for the employer. Thus, the option of requesting passports of Ukrainian citizens from such applicants during employment remains safe for the employer.

In addition, this decree (para.

As for a citizen of Ukraine who worked illegally, the following awaits him:

1. if he worked in the regions, he faces a fine of 2-5 thousand rubles. and deportation from Russia with an entry ban for 5 years; for those who worked in Moscow and the region or in St. Petersburg and the region, the amount will increase to 5-7 thousand rubles. with mandatory deportation and an entry ban for 5 years.

To avoid such developments, consider options with legal registration. The difficulty of legalizing a citizen of Ukraine depends on his status: Those temporarily staying in the country are people who have a migration card issued at the border.

It gives the right to stay in Russia for 90 days out of every 180. Usually it is used unofficially, with employees having to work on a rotational basis and periodically leave the country for 3 months.

Cancellation of patents for citizens of the DPR

“I would like these changes to be made to the law of the Russian Federation “On the Status of Foreign Citizens” while we are discussing these categories. So that those residents of the LPR, as well as the DPR, who come to the territory of the Russian Federation, do not need to obtain a labor patent - free employment, free movement,” he noted.

Deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation will submit for consideration by the legislative body amendments to the Russian Law “On the Status of Foreign Citizens”, which provide for the abolition of obtaining a labor patent for residents of the LPR and DPR when employed in the territory of the Russian Federation. Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, coordinator of the Russia-Donbass integration committee Andrey Kozenko announced this at a meeting with journalists of the LuganskInformCenter.

Residents of the DPR and LPR may have their patents revoked in Russia

I have already prepared a bill to abolish the need to obtain a labor patent (for residents of the LPR and DPR - approx.), which will be introduced literally in a week by a group of deputies of the State Duma. This is something that we have already discussed at many platforms – both governmental and in the Federation Council – and found support,” said the deputy.

Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, coordinator of the Russia-Donbass integration committee Andrei Kozenko announced this at a meeting with journalists in Lugansk.

Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Valentina Kazakova noted that almost 50% of persons acquiring citizenship are residents of Ukraine, including the LPR and DPR. This means that it is necessary to find possibilities for legislative regulation of their legal status.

“The event took place at the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building.

The working meeting was attended by members of the Federation Council, State Duma deputies, representatives of federal and regional authorities, the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, members of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, representatives of the Federal Chamber of Lawyers of the Russian Federation, representatives public and scientific community.

In Russia, a bill on the abolition of labor patents for citizens of the LPR and DPR has been submitted for consideration.

The explanatory note to the bill states that such changes need to be made to the law, since the Ukrainian authorities continue the blockade of Donbass; Because of this, many industrial enterprises are not operating, and the situation in the region is close to a humanitarian catastrophe. It is also noted that some regions of Russia also need such changes, for example Crimea, where the labor market has not yet reoriented towards internal reserves.

Sergey Tsekov: Donetsk and Luhansk residents should work in Russia without any patents

— There was a discussion about this. Some believed that those who are hostile to Russia, Lugansk and Donetsk also live in these territories, so if we allow them to live on Russian territory, we will thus legalize those who are hostile to us.

— It is known that the territory of the DPR and LPR was larger in 2014: Slavyansk was the DPR, Mariupol and Kramatorsk, and other cities of Donbass.

Will these preferences apply to residents of the Donbass territories controlled by Ukraine? After all, many of them left their settlements and moved to Russia, because because of their position or because of participation in armed militia groups, they face serious prison sentences.

The State Duma of the Russian Federation will consider the abolition of labor patents for citizens of the LPR and DPR

“I have already prepared a bill to abolish the need to obtain a labor patent (by citizens of the LPR and DPR), which will be introduced literally in a week by a group of deputies of the State Duma. This is something that we have already discussed at many platforms – both governmental and in the Federation Council – and found support,” the parliamentarian said.

“Today, residents of the Lugansk People’s Republic, while not yet temporarily possessing citizenship of the Russian Federation, having a passport of a citizen of the LPR, in my deep conviction, should have full rights on the territory of the Russian Federation on an equal basis with its citizens,” Kozenko said.

Work patent for citizens of Ukraine

Important Donetsk, September 14 – DA Info Pro. One of the frequently asked questions by immigrants is questions about obtaining a patent to work in Russia, as well as what benefits will be provided to immigrants from the DPR and LPR.

"Lends a helping hand"

Let us recall that in April 2021, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on simplified receipt of Russian passports for residents of the LPR and DPR. The period for consideration of applications for the acquisition of relevant documents should not exceed three months.

As the Russian leader stated, such a measure is aimed at protecting human rights and is a matter of “purely humanitarian nature.” Putin also explained that Moscow “has no desire to create problems for the new Ukrainian government.”

“But to tolerate a situation in which people living on the territory of these Donetsk and Lugansk republics are generally deprived of any civil rights - this is already crossing the line from the point of view of human rights,” the Russian President said.

As stated in a commentary by the Department of Information and Press of the Russian Foreign Ministry, published in February 2021, “Kyiv introduced a financial, economic, transport and energy blockade of Donbass, as a result of which its residents found themselves on the brink of survival.”

“They were effectively deprived of civil rights guaranteed, in particular, by the 1966 international covenants on economic, social and cultural rights, as well as on civil and political rights,” the statement said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also clarified that Kyiv, “by unilaterally breaking ties with certain areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, made their residents de facto stateless.”

“They were cut off from everything: the system of national financing and banking services, social benefits, pensions, salaries, communications, education and healthcare,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

“Kyiv continues to act with repressive methods, turning a blind eye to all war crimes of the Ukrainian army, arresting dissenters, not allowing the issuance of any documents to the population of Donbass and not recognizing internal ones. We should not forget about the economic blockade. All this together created extremely difficult living conditions,” Rudenko noted.

This is a big step towards the residents of Donbass, on whom Kyiv has imposed a lot of restrictions - the inability to travel abroad if the Ukrainian passport has expired or was lost due to hostilities. Kyiv is doing nothing to resolve these problems,” the expert said in an interview with RT.

In turn, Vladimir Shapovalov called Russia’s issuance of passports according to a simplified scheme to residents of Donbass “a civilizational way out of the catastrophically difficult humanitarian situation to which Kyiv has brought these territories.”

Hiring citizens of the DPR

Vladimir Viktorovich According to the legislation of 2021, how to hire a citizen of Donetsk?

What documents do I need to take from him for registration? What personal income tax should I pay? and Pension Fund? Employment and taxation of Ukrainian citizens who came from Donetsk depend on whether they received refugee status or not.

Hiring a Refugee If a citizen of Ukraine is recognized as a refugee (received temporary asylum), then in order to carry out labor activities in the Russian Federation, he does not need to obtain a patent (work permit). This benefit is provided to a refugee (a person who has received temporary asylum) until the moment of loss (deprivation) of the corresponding status (clauses 11, 12, clause 4, article 13 of Law No. 115-FZ).

An employer can hire such a person without obtaining a permit to attract and use foreign workers (clause 1, clause 4.5, article 13 of Law No. 115-FZ).

Refugees carry out labor activities on the territory of the Russian Federation on an equal basis with citizens of the Russian Federation. In this regard, these persons are hired in accordance with the general procedure provided for formalizing labor relations with citizens of the Russian Federation. To hire a refugee (a person who has received temporary asylum), the employer must complete the following steps.

• Send the applicant for a preliminary medical examination, if provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
• Request from the applicant documents required for employment. Their list is established by Art. 65 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

This list includes, in particular, an identity document. For a refugee, this is a refugee certificate.

• Familiarize the applicant with local regulations.

• Issue an order for employment.
• Notify the territorial body of the federal executive body in the field of migration

How to properly register for a job an employee from the DPR.

Is it necessary to send notification of its acceptance?

Answer to the question: It is imperative to notify the territorial body of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs within three working days about hiring a foreigner from the DPR. According to Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated February 18, 2017 No. 74

, passports of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics are recognized in Russia as identification documents for residents of these regions. Therefore, if a foreigner presents a DPR or LPR passport, this passport can be accepted as an identification document.

In addition, since the DPR and LPR officially remain part of the territory of Ukraine, and their residents are citizens of Ukraine, Ukrainian internal and foreign passports (if they are not expired) can also verify the identity of these foreigners. This is stated in Appendix No. 2 to the Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of Ukraine dated January 16, 1997 on visa-free travel for citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine. At the same time, residents of the DPR and LPR arrive in Russia visa-free.

To hire residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics temporarily staying in Russia, it is required:  in the general case, obtain a patent for the foreigner himself;  after entry, register the foreigner with migration registration;  conclude an employment (civil) contract and notify the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Taking into account the tense situation in the region, residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics can receive temporary asylum in Russia.

In this case, they can formalize labor relations without a patent. This follows from subparagraph 12 of paragraph 4 of Article 13 of the Law of July 25, 2002 No. 115-FZ. Employment of foreigners who have received temporary asylum on the territory of Russia must be formalized in the general manner - as citizens of Russia.

Changes for residents of the LPR and DPR

Important

It is necessary either to recognize them and give them a special status, or not,” Kasimov said. He came to the conclusion that it is possible to pass a bill abolishing labor patents for residents of Donbass, but there is no need to rush into this until the all the mechanisms of action of this law.

“Of course, for humanitarian reasons, we need to help these people. But a question arises, because not all residents of Donbass are included in the ATO zone where military operations are taking place. Some are located in continental Ukraine.

And how then, give everyone [special status]? A lot of questions arise to which, I think, the author of this bill has no answers.

Patents for residents of Donbass

Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, quoting the same Peskov: “This is not the official recognition of passports, we are talking about individual decisions that could be made by municipal, local authorities, as well as various companies, based solely on humanitarian considerations, guided by the need for truly humanitarian assistance by this people who live in the regions of Donbass,” the Decree will allow us to stop discrepancies between regions, because it often happened that a person, tired of war, and having listened to the advice of his friends and acquaintances that “with a Donetsk passport, everything was issued for us without problems, come on too,” when arriving in another city in Russia, I was faced with the negativity of officials and the refusal to apply for “your piece of paper” - I didn’t understand how this could happen? After all, in the neighboring region the documents were well received...

All these prices are subject to change, so you need to have twice that amount with you so that there is enough for all unforeseen expenses.

The procedure for obtaining a patent for residents of Donbass The procedure for dismissal The legislation regulating the legal status of foreigners in the Russian Federation, like the Labor Code, does not contain any special conditions or grounds for terminating employment relations with a foreigner.

In the context of this, it is logical to assume that the dismissal of a foreigner, including a citizen of the LDPR, is possible only on the general grounds provided for by the Labor Code.

In particular, termination of the contract is possible:

• at the mutual desire of the parties in the cases provided for in Art. 78 TK;
• at the end of the period during which it was in effect;
• at the initiative of the employee - in cases provided for in Art.

What has changed for the residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics? 1. Is it true that residents of the LDPR do not need to apply for a work patent, receive treatment in Russia for free, and are no longer subject to the 90/180 rule? No, that's not true.

The decree states that passports issued in the LDPR should be recognized as valid - along with other passports: Tajik, Ukrainian, French, etc.

Residents of the republics remain foreigners: they receive migration cards upon entering the Russian Federation, if they want to work, they must apply for a patent, and they can apply for a compulsory medical insurance policy for free treatment after receiving a temporary residence permit or residence permit - in short, their situation is no different from the situation of other foreign citizens .

Russian State Duma deputy Andrei Kozenko proposed for consideration a bill providing for the abolition of labor patents for residents of the unrecognized Lugansk and Donetsk people's republics. Important This became known from a press release received by the editors.

Lawyer, specialist in migration legislation Rustam Kasimov, in a conversation with NSN, recalled that today, from a legal point of view, Russia cannot distinguish citizens of the DPR and LPR as a special category.

Also, according to the specialist, this initiative raises a number of questions, the answers to which Russia has not yet decided on at the state level. “As far as I know, citizens of Donbass are still considered citizens of Ukraine.

Work patent for citizens of Ukraine The presence of a valid patent is a sufficient basis for extending temporary residence on the territory of the Russian Federation.

c He came to the conclusion that it is possible to pass a bill abolishing labor patents for residents of Donbass, but there is no need to rush into this until all the mechanisms for the operation of this law have been worked out. “Of course, for humanitarian reasons, we need to help these people.

But a question arises, because not all residents of Donbass are included in the ATO zone where military operations are taking place. Some are located in continental Ukraine.

And how then, give everyone [special status]? A lot of questions arise to which, I think, the author of this bill has no answers.

Work patent for residents of the DPR and LPR Attention PHOTO: LPR passports // politobzor.net The expert told NSN what difficulties may arise if a law abolishing labor patents for residents of Donbass is adopted.

Professions in demand

There are many vacancies and positions for successful employment of people arriving from the DPR and LPR. However, not all migrants are satisfied with the provided options - many of them strive to get to the capital region, where there are enough people willing to work without them. In this regard, they are forced to look for work in more provincial regions. Among the most common jobs held, certain areas predominate.

Shift work

Work in Russia for residents of the LPR and DPR on a rotational basis is especially popular due to the opportunity to receive a decent salary in a fairly short period. It involves employment in the following industries:

• mining;
• logging;
• construction;
• fishing in the territories of the far north.

This option is relevant for that part of the LPR and DPR labor migrants who do not want to leave their homeland for a long time. Among other things, this approach allows you to follow the conditions of stay in the Russian Federation, which presuppose the possibility of staying in Russia only for 90 days over six months.

Among other things, when working on a rotational basis, a migrant is usually provided with housing at the expense of the employer. This advantage is significant, because resolving the housing problem involves quite significant expenses, which often deprive a person of most of his salary. For example, in metropolitan regions you will have to pay about 25 thousand rubles for a one-room apartment. In large cities – 15-18 thousand rubles. As a result, people are forced to move several people into a room in order to save most of their income and provide for their family.

Construction

In populated areas of the Russian Federation, intensive construction of residential and industrial structures is taking place. In this area, people with the following professions are always required:

• painter;
• a carpenter;
• tiler;
• mason;
• and so on.

What is noteworthy is that residents of the self-proclaimed republics are often accepted as foremen or installers.

Trade

With the expansion of cities due to the previous industry - construction - there is a need to introduce entire networks of hypermarkets and open small shops. In any case, people are required to ensure their optimal functioning. Thus, the population of the LPR and DPR can count on the position:

• salesman;
• administrator;
• cashier;
• laborers and cleaners.

In such situations, the employer usually additionally requests a medical record, this is especially true when applying for employment at facilities related to the food industry.

Other areas

In addition to the above areas of work, residents of the LPR and DPR can find a place in other areas. For example, if a citizen does not have special skills or knowledge, then he can be employed as a laborer, and in absolutely any field - after all, this position has a fairly low entry threshold.

It is also worth special mentioning IT technologies - good and competent programmers are valued all over the world, and the Russian Federation is no exception. Highly qualified specialists can count on significant benefits in obtaining Russian citizenship. If they have sufficient knowledge and skills, residents of the LPR and DPR can become: system administrators, managers, and leading programmers. Moreover, it is in such cases that there is a high probability of getting a job in Moscow, where most migrants strive.
