“Shrinking in scale of certain industry sectors in Russia might lead to extradition of labor migrants with planes of the Russian Ministry of Emergencies or Air Force aircrafts,” Anatoly Hodorovsky, a Russian economist said to the Radio Liberty.

“I do not have anything against Kyrgyz migrants. But these people sometimes poorly speak Russian and do not understand how they are going to leave Russia if economic scale shrinks down. They want to make their $200 and send it via bank to Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan. And then they are told that they will not receive this money. How are they going to get back home? What to do in this situation?” he said.

The economist sees certain logic in statements of labor migrants’ extradition supporters, some of his colleagues call it suicidal actions for Russian economy,” Hodorovsky said.
