Sverdlovsk Region has difficulties preparing to receive migrants from Ingushetia
Officials from the Sverdlovsk Region, where resettlement is prepares, report that serious problems may arise with accommodation of Ingush migrants in the Urals Mountains, since practically nothing is ready.
A small village named Kryuk, located in the Shali District of the Sverdlovsk Region, was chosen as one of the settlements for accommodation of Ingushes; however, as local officials say, there are no places for accommodation there, as the "New Region" writes.
"We have a lot of homeless Russians; but they decided to bring still more Ingushes. I can't catch the idea. I understand when they bring Chinese or Vietnamese - they work as devils, and how Ingushes will work - I don't know," said Victor Butakov, deputy head of the Shali city administration for economic issues.
In their turn, political scientists fear that arrival of Ingushes can cause a wave of xenophobia. Thus, Valery Homyakov, Director of the Agency of Applied and Regional Policy, reminds that "the country already had on specialist in resettling nations - Joseph Stalin," the "Newsru.com" writes.
