News / Poles, get ready for mass migration from Russia ! [50]

Borrka, just in case, every kind of paranoia, including your special anti-Russian form, is highly treatable :)
Well, I am Russian and if I decided to immigrate, Poland would not even be on my wish list. The same applies to the majority of Russians. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, USA... and Israel of course, many Russians have relatives and friends there.but Poland???? what's the point of going to another poor country, even if it belongs to EU????

News / Poles, get ready for mass migration from Russia ! [50]

The main reason why Russians move there is usually that they love Poland and want to feel like at home among other Slavs. Money are unlikely to be a point there.

Well, I don't know about that but I hear that for Ukrainians and Russians Poland IS the west already..

Geographically - yes, of course :) But being West does not mean being admired dream country. Its not about the money only, it is also about the children's future. As a person who has several Polish friends, but does not know much about Poland, the perspective to become a second-class citizen based on your nationality (my impression after speaking to some ethnic Poles from Russia!), with very limited possibilities to find a good-paying job in the country and move elsewhere because of passport troubles, is not that lucrative. No offense, sorry, just pure cost-benefit analysis. But I am open to other opinions, too.

And I mean, I am not alone, the majority of Russians don't know anything about Poland either and would not pick it up as "immigration destination".(I have no idea about Belarus and Ukraine, though.)

I am just tired to read gazeta.pl forumites, Borrka among them,claiming (or hoping) that all that Russians all pray on Poland just because it is "Europe" and "West" and "more civilized" and whatever and wanted to clarify things a bit :)

Anyway, Borrka, thanks, u have learned that my nation's name is not kacaps and not moskals but Russians! Yiiipppeee! what a progress!

Hope Russians will cancel visa requirements for us, it's just disturbing.

When you are ready, let as know :) It's a bilateral move.
