Migration issues have become the main concern for the majority of Muscovites, according to a new poll revealed on Monday.
About 65 percent of the capital’s residents believe that the city’s transportation problems are less urgent to solve than migration-related problems, Stepan Lvov, head of socio-economical research at the VTsIOM pollster, said.
At present, the number of migrants in Moscow has reached 20 percent, which is twice as many as in other Russian regions, according to Lvov’s data.
“If during the next few years, no longer than three, we don’t solve the migration problem, ‘the point of no return’ will be passed, and social disturbances are to follow,” RIA Novosti cited him as saying.
