New Russian Migration

From The Moscow Times:
"Migration Policy Raises Hopes, Questions"

If these new laws actually take effect I think they will do a lot of good for both Russia and foreigners. Every country has bureaucracy that people find troublesome, but Russia currently has one of the worst in the world (I am speaking from personal experience.)One of the issues I really like about this new law is that it will reduce the number of people who need to apply for a work permit and they won't have to register in every town within Russia (this is something that even Russians need to do.)Russia needs a modern, immigration system that both protects both its security and the foreigners who want to work/live there. The days of the USSR are over and hopefully these new rules will be a start to Russia showing the rest of the world that they understand that fact and are welcoming legal immigrants to their country.
