Migration from Ukraine 2022
Indice
Sometimes Russians and Ukrainians who emigrated from Ruthenia in the 19th and early 20th centuries identified themselves as Russians. More recently emigrants often referred to this group as the “starozhili’, which translates into the as “old settlers”. This group became the mainstay of the Russian Orthodox Church in America. Today, most of this group has become assimilated into local society, with ethnic traditions continuing to survive primarily around the church.
Fort Ross was not a profitable colony, due to high costs and the declining animal population in the area. After it was purchased by the United States in 1867, most of the Russian senders returned to Russia, but some resettled in southern Alaska and California. Prominent among these were the early California gold rush miners and traders. Americans refused Russian settlement in those lands, but the Russians learned to speak and write English so they could trade in the United States.

There are unconfirmed reports that indicate the possibility that the first Russian navigator to reach the coast of Alaska was Semyon Dezhniov, who was diverted from his course to the Anadir River in 1648. Another legendary discoverer would be Fedot Alekseyev Popov, but there is no confirmation either.
The next contact with the American coasts would come in 1741, during the second expedition to Kamchatka of the Russian Navy (“Great Northern Expedition”), again led by Bering and his deputy Aleksei Chirikov. Separated by a storm after leaving the port of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on June 14, Bering drifted southward as far as Kodiak Island in command of the Sviatoi Pyotr (St. Peter) and came in sight of Mount St. Elias on July 16. Chirikov, on the other hand, drifted northwest, in command of the Sviatoi Pavel (St. Paul), discovering the Alexander Archipelago and arriving on July 15 at Cape Prince of Wales. Although Bering and part of the crew died on the voyage in November, the sea otter furs worn by the survivors on their return to Kamchatka in 1742 attracted enough attention to be considered the finest furs in the world.

Causes of migration in ukraine 2022
Sardor Abdullayev, a construction worker from eastern Uzbekistan, was planning to go to Russia in the first months of 2015 to join relatives working as construction workers in Samara, a city on the Volga River. But now “I will do better if I stay at home and drive a cab,” he says.
But data from the Central Bank of Russia reveals that the funds Uzbeks send to their relatives fell nine percent during the third quarter of 2014. Analysts predict that the drop will continue. The Russian daily Kommersant estimates that remittances fell 35 percent in the month of October alone.
Faced with a drop in their real incomes Uzbeks working in Russia face a dilemma, noted Sherzod, the Uzbek worker. Thousands are anxious to return home, but many do not have the money to buy a return ticket. Others worry that in their native villages they will be seen as failures, he said.
A leader of the migrant community, quoted by Russian media, predicts that the new regulations, coupled with the falling ruble, will cause 25 percent of migrants to leave Russia in the coming months.
