This book discusses international migration in the newly independent states after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which involved millions of people. Written by authors from 15 countries, it summarizes the population movement over the post-Soviet territories, both within the newly independent states and in other countries over the past 25 years. It focuses on the volume of migration flows, the number and socio-demographic characteristics of migrants, migration factors and the situation of migrants in receiving countries. The authors, who include demographers, economists, geographers, anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, used various methods and sources of information, such as censuses, administrative statistics, the results of mass sample surveys and in-depth interviews. This heterogeneity highlights the multifaceted nature of the topic of migration movements.

Excerpt from Forced Migration in the Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union I want to, first of all, apologize to our distinguished witnesses and guests for the lateness in convening this hearing. AS you have probably seen, we had three back-to-back votes. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 was an historic, momentous occasion. We Americans watched in rapt attention as the Berlin Wall came down and the Iron Curtain parted. For us, the spectacle brought with it a sense of triumph: The cold war was over, and we, or more precisely our ideal of freedom, had won. It was the end of an epic story of human oppression. But the end of that story was the beginning of countless others. Where there had been one Nation, there were suddenly a dozen. And those countries were, and are, peopled not by Soviet citizens, but by members of scores of distinct ethnic groups who speak well over 100 different languages. Sadly, many of those people no longer have countries they can call home. The dismantling of the massive Soviet Empire has brought massive dislocation, economic and otherwise, which prom ises to continue for the foreseeable future. Thanks in large part to Soviet population management programs, tens of millions of people live outside their countries of ethnic origin. Over 20 million ethnic Russians live outside the Russian Federation, and more than 26 million non-russians live in Russia. In addition to lingering animosities over the forced Russification of the former Soviet republics, the removal of an overarching Soviet presence has allowed regional ethnic conflicts to resurface with in creased energy. There have been thousands of incidents of ethnic violence over the past several years, and the possibility of worse, more systemic violence is not beyond imagining.
