A New Standard of Care for Relocants in Russia!

The Kurgan Region has established the Office of the Commissioner for Working with Compatriots: the region is prioritizing values-based migration.

As part of its strategy to attract compatriots and highly qualified specialists, the Government of the Kurgan Region, with the support of partners including the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization “Path Home” Resettlement Assistance Center, has taken its systematic efforts to a new level. The region has become the second in the Russian Federation where the position of Commissioner for Working with Compatriots and Migration Issues has been officially established.

This decision marks a shift from isolated measures to a comprehensive migration policy. The establishment of this new office underscores that it is vital for the region that relocation be not merely a bureaucratic procedure, but a meticulously designed integration mechanism.

Natalya Gennadyevna Nikitina, an expert at the Kurgan Region Investment Agency Foundation with an in-depth understanding of regional specifics and investors’ needs, has been appointed Commissioner.

The new office will be responsible for:

· Comprehensive, turnkey adaptation for relocants;
· Attracting investment and supporting entrepreneurial initiatives among compatriots;
· Protecting the rights and legitimate interests of migrants and their family members;
· Facilitating harmonious integration into the region’s sociocultural environment.

We are confident that combining the efforts of the public sector and the authorities will make the Kurgan Region one of the leaders in attracting relocants who share its values, for whom the region will become a true home.
The Autonomous Non-Profit Organization “Path Home” Resettlement Assistance Center is ready to actively cooperate with and support the new Commissioner.
