ABSTRACT
Russia’s population grew in the mid-1990s due to immigration — a growth never previously seen. Between the Russian census of 1989 and 2002, Russia’s total immigrant population grew by 5.6 million people, of whom 56 percent came to Russia during the 1993–8 period (Figure 9.1). Russia received 2.4 million additional people between the census of 2002 and 2010.
