Official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk, announced the launch of the first 12 migration control units at the country's main air gates. The purpose of these units is to identify foreigners who violate Russian migration legislation at the entry stage.
The new units are located at airports in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Yekaterinburg. These hubs were chosen due to the highest passenger traffic.
In the near future, the control system will be expanded. According to the plans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, similar units will appear at key border railway stations, as well as near automobile and water checkpoints. The work is coordinated by the Migration Service and the Main Directorate for Transport of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
