“Pull” whether refugees Kaliningrad region? – Rosbalt.RU

Kaliningrad region adopted as the main refuge for Ukrainian Refugees – Government Decision on the distribution of the subjects of the Federation of refugees region must take before the end of year 9 thousand persons. Region also increased the quota for migrants – from 4 to 7000.

Meanwhile, the region somewhat puzzled choice of the Kaliningrad region as a major springboard for shelters. Governor Nikolai Cukanov immediately suggested that such a high level of confidence in the region was due to the successful implementation of the resettlement of compatriots living abroad. Some of the refugees have already planned to be placed in the program. Statements regarding the participation of the regional FMS addressed 182 people. As the reason that prompted them to participate in the program, they indicated it was a crisis situation in Ukraine.

Governor, however, casts doubt on the government’s forecast. In his opinion, not a fact that the region will be all 9 thousand settlers.

Chapter committee on social policy, health, education, culture and sport Regional Duma Galina Jankovskaja noted that the government’s decision was to Kaliningrad unexpected. “We were surprised that our region – the need of the people who come to us,” – said the deputy.

She believes that the Federal Migration Service has provided quantitative data based on the government, in particular, of the regional applications for work permits for foreigners. In Kaliningrad, employers tend to say this with a reserve quota, it completely without choosing. Since the beginning of this year, according to the Federal Migration Service of the Kaliningrad region, for obtaining a patent on the work turned 293 Ukrainian citizen, they issued 271 patent. This document allows you to be registered to work in individuals. As for a work permit, which makes it possible to find a job in legal entities, those issued at 774 813 applications.

total on July 22 in the region arrived and settled privately 2 thousand 762 citizens of Ukraine, including 233 children . Applications for the right to temporary residence filed 605, 415 permits issued.

Through FMS arrived in Russia against their will receive either refugee status or temporary shelter. As the Kaliningrad region does not border with Ukraine, FMS regional refugee status under international law, shall not be issued. Therefore wish to obtain official status Recommend arrange temporary shelter. In the field it got seven families consisting of 32 people, including nine children.

Ukrainian immigrants come to the region mainly through Moscow, as many refugees come through the Rostov region. Transportation will be one of the difficulties to be faced in the event of a large number of people in the Kaliningrad region. The easiest way to transport them by plane, since the border crossing by rail may be difficult due to the uncertain status of the citizens of Ukraine.

responsible for this part of the problem, the Government appointed the Ministry of Transport. It will attract carriers and organized jointly with the Finance Ministry to compensate them.

Next to accept, execute, post refugees be regional services. According to Galina Jankowski, the burden falls on the primary costs of the regional budget, then the federal offset by 800 rubles per day per refugee. “Today we are ready to accept and accommodate 360 ​​people before the end of the year will be ready to take 800 people,” – said the head of the Social Committee obldumy. Since September, when freed camps with heated rooms, kitchen and other facilities for accommodation, it will be easier to place persons.

Jankovskaja However, fears that the refugees will be more social infrastructure in the region simply can not cope with the load. Problems can occur with medical care. Also part of migrants will certainly be with children, and places in kindergartens to place all children is not enough. Already in preschool area there is the problem of queues. During the May visit of Dmitry Medvedev paid any special attention. Nicholas Cukanov recently promised to solve the problem of queues by the end of 2015. Influx of refugees may push that date indefinitely.

As for the extra manpower, they are certainly not excessive. Today in the Kaliningrad region is not enough specialists in certain occupations, such as health workers, representatives of working professions, in particular, welder and builders.

On the other hand, are not so many jobs, and they concern a narrow range of professions. “Now, in the region there is no need for unskilled labor. At the level of the general industry downturn – in 2013, the index of industrial production in the manufacturing sector fell by 5%, the standard of living by 1%, falling investment – new jobs created quite a bit,” – Regional Duma deputy says Alla Voitova.

No production in the region and requiring large amounts of labor. Seen some perspectives related to the construction company “Autotor” automotive cluster in which planned to build assembly plants as well as housing for staff. However, with this project, too, not so clearly against the background of the problems with a partner “Autotor” Canadian company Magna. Situation for investment is not very favorable, says Alla Voitova. Plus, the auto industry again require employees only certain specialties.

not forget about heterogeneity of socio-economic development of the Kaliningrad region. Most visitors to the program of resettlement of compatriots expressed their desire to live quite logical in Kaliningrad or the surrounding area, in particular in the area Gurievsk. As for the eastern part of the region, where there are people to settle, but there is no work for them. On the east and locals unemployment is higher.

“common vector of the recession and the fall in investment, which is now outlined, can lead to the fact that we ourselves are there unemployment. Then problems will be dealt with refugees harder” , – said Alla Voitova.

Obviously, not all its refugees will want to apply for residency. Somebody hopes that the war will end in the foreseeable future, and it will be possible to return home. Hence, the job will not search all persons, that too will be on the budget additional weight. Thus, the power of the Kostroma region raise the issue of rider attitudes of Ukrainian refugees. The region has already received 2.7 thousand people. They found 284 jobs to housing, employment but want only 153 people. The majority prefers to live in sanatoriums on all ready.

refugee problem from Ukraine to Russia in general is seriously underestimated, says MP Kaliningrad regional Duma Pavel Fedorov. According to him, many today do not realize the extent of what is happening. “If we received 600,000 refugees from the region, where there were military action, with a population of 1.5 million, and now the military action moved to the region, home to 9.5 million, there still gush three million. This Russia will receive four million refugees – about 3% of the population “- calculated parliamentarian. Forecast of the federal government regarding the number of persons may be not so inflated. Especially when you consider that the preconditions for the transition of the warring parties to the negotiations, to put it mildly.
