Krasnoyarsk Krai issues guidelines for migrants

A handbook for migrants outlining the rules of behavior in the region has been published in Krasnoyarsk Krai. It is available in Kyrgyz, Tajik, and Uzbek, with the most comprehensive version in Russian.

The introduction provides brief information about the region and adaptation advice. Migrants are encouraged to improve their Russian language skills and avoid contact with criminal and extremist groups. The document highlights that speaking loudly on the phone in public places is considered improper behavior.

The manual also emphasizes that loud national music from cars, apartments, or houses provokes negative reactions from local residents.

The guide reminds migrants that drug use is prohibited and that animal sacrifices are not appropriate in Russian culture. In case of conflicts, migrants are advised to contact the police instead of assembling a crowd for confrontations.

In July, the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs prepared an adaptation course for migrant workers. They were advised to refrain from addressing people as "brother" and from catcalling women. It was reported that the course would be soon distributed nationwide, tailored to each region’s specifics. Similar guidelines for migrants have already appeared in Samara Oblast.

On July 23, the State Duma tightened migration rules. For example, migrants are no longer allowed to "belong to the LGBT community" or demand the adoption or repeal of specific laws. The maximum allowed stay without a visa or a residence permit has been reduced from 180 to 90 days.
