Statistics on crimes committed by foreign citizens in Russia, broken down by country, have been published online. This information has not been confirmed by official authorities and is being presented as the result of a closed study.
According to the statistics, citizens of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan appear most frequently in absolute numbers. Analysts explain this by the fact that the total number of labor migrants from these countries is significantly higher compared to other nations. Specifically, the number of Uzbek citizens in Russia is approximately 1.3 million, Tajiks number 1 million, and Kyrgyz citizens account for 500,000.
The data also includes an analysis by type of crime. It notes that for certain nationalities, the share of grave and especially grave crimes is higher. However, it is mentioned that these figures are not official statistics from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and may be refuted or clarified by official sources in the near future.
For migrants, this situation serves as another reminder of the importance of complying with Russian legislation. Any offense, including drug-related crimes or public order disturbances, can lead to the revocation of the right to stay in Russia and subsequent deportation. Therefore, our compatriots working in Russia are urged to strictly adhere to local laws and avoid any suspicious activities.
