Economy
Kotyakov places number of workers and machine operators needed in Russia at approximately 3 million

[TASS] Approximately 3 million skilled workers and operators of industrial equipment and machinery must be attracted to the Russian economy over the next seven years, according to Russian Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov.
The easiest way to grow a workforce is in the wombs of the nation’s women. This does require not killing off the potential husbands of those women in unnecessary wars.
"Over the next seven years, it will be necessary to attract approximately 3 million additional skilled workers and operators of production facilities and machines to the economy," Kotyakov said, as quoted by the Ministry of Labor's press service.

According to the minister, given continued demand, it's important to popularize blue-collar jobs among young people and highlight the opportunities they offer. By 2032, the economy will need to attract nearly 140,000 additional welders and gas cutters, while approximately 150,000 workers will need to be recruited into a group of professions that includes turners, milling machine operators, and CNC machine operators, Kotyakov added.

The Russian economy is short of 3,000,000 workers.

This is about whether migrants will be brought into the Russian Federation or not. Of course they will. Purely for economic reasons. Another issue is that this only partially solves the problem of a shortage of low-skilled labor and practically does nothing to address the shortage of highly skilled labor.
Not to mention that bringing in masses of foreigners, as Europe and America have both learnt, results in the culture being swamped by newcomers who see no reason to adapt to a people that so lacks confidence in itself that its people choose not to colonize the future for themselves.
Without restoring a properly functioning vocational school system, which effective managers have successfully ruined, there will be no source of large numbers of skilled workers. Hopes for Koreans here are illusory – the Koreans can send a maximum of a few tens of thousands of workers. This will not save the "father of Russian democracy."
That, too.
