[ColonelCassad] Russia plans to attract 1 million labor migrants from India to compensate for the shortage of highly qualified personnel. This was stated by the head of the Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry Andrey Besedin. ![]() "As far as I heard from my Indian colleagues, by the end of the year, 1 million specialists from India will come to Russia, including the Sverdlovsk region. A new Consulate General of this country is opening in Yekaterinburg, which will deal with these issues," he explained in an interview with the EAN agency. According to him, Russian industrial enterprises need to increase production capacity, but the region is experiencing an acute shortage of labor. Some employees are involved in a special operation in Ukraine, and young people are not eager to work in factories, which, according to Besedin, is due to "an ideological mistake made in the country before." In addition to India, work is also underway with Sri Lanka and North Korea. However, as the head of the chamber noted, cooperation with labor migrants from these countries may be difficult. New workers will be sent primarily to the metallurgical and mechanical engineering industries, which require highly qualified specialists. On July 8, the Investigative Committee of Russia reported an increase in the number of crimes committed by migrants, including particularly serious offenses. In the first five months of 2025, the number of such crimes increased by 10% compared to the same period last year, reaching 18,873 cases. The share of crimes committed by foreigners in the total number of offenses in the country increased from 4.3% to 5%. It's all banal here. Since there aren't enough of our own workers, we have to attract workers from abroad.We are paying for the collapsed system of secondary vocational education, decades of training "lawyers and managers", cultivating disdain for people in blue-collar jobs, etc. So, despite all the costs, they will continue to attract migrants to work from abroad on an industrial scale. P.S. Against the backdrop of the Indians, several tens of thousands of North Koreans who must come to work in Russia look very modest. For India, one million more, one million less. More from regnum.ru Around 1 million workers will come from India to Russia by the end of the year One million people will come to work from India to Russia. This was announced on July 9 by the head of the Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry Andrey Besedin, citing a statement by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of India to Russia. “As far as I have heard from my Indian colleagues, a million specialists from India will come to Russia, including the Sverdlovsk region, by the end of the year,” he said in a conversation with Ura.ru. The head of the Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry emphasized that all necessary agreements have been reached. Besedin explained that the authorities want to solve the labor shortage in the industry of the Sverdlovsk region in this way. According to him, they will work at metallurgy and mechanical engineering enterprises. |

#1 How many of the men will be thrown into army uniforms and sent directly to the Ukrainian front on arrival? Probably more useful to put them to work assembling FPV combat drones for infantry support. More troops is nice but the little drones are a big force multiplier. More is better. |
