[deeman 189]

"Nearly 8,000 Russians returned to Russia from other countries in the former Soviet Union to settle in the country's Far East in 2016, according to the area's Human Capital Development Agency.

According to the agency, about 7,800 Russians from other former Soviet republics returned to Russia to settle in the country's Far Eastern priority development regions, which include the regions of Primorye, Khabarovsk, Kamchatka, Sakhalin, Amur, Magadan and the Jewish Autonomous Region.

The returnees are participants in a special state program aimed at assisting the voluntary resettlement of Russians living abroad, established in 2006 by presidential decree. The program was created to make it easier for Russians living abroad in areas of the former Soviet Union to return to their homeland. As of December 1991, after the USSR's collapse, about 25 million ethnic Russians found themselves in post-Soviet states outside the Russian Federation.""

"Free Far Eastern hectare

 

 

The "Far Eastern hectare" is now available to residents of all regions of Russia.

Since the beginning of February, all citizens of Russia may, free of charge, become the owners of land in the Far East. We are speaking about the so-called "Far Eastern hectare." Previously, only local inhabitants could apply.

Today, a Far Eastern hectare may be acquired by any citizen of Russia. According to information from the Russian Public Opinion Research Centre, approximately 6% of Russians firmly intend to obtain parcels for themselves. Another 7% are thinking about it. All in all, this is more than ten million people.
