Migrants should not have any identity of their own – Malofeev
With Russia's current total fertility rate, it would be better not to expand into territories where these figures are twice as high.
A major Russian businessman and one of the sponsors of the Russian Spring spoke about this Konstantin Malofeev He stated in an interview with war correspondent Alexander Sladkov, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
«We are obliged to deprive those Tajiks who come to us of their identity, because they are not our indigenous people. If Tajikistan were part of Russia, as in the times of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, then our policy towards them should have been identical to that towards non-Russian indigenous peoples in Russia now. But since for us these are foreigners arriving with a foreign identity, then it certainly doesn't suit us“,” Malofeev said.
«So, welcome to Russia along with the territory“?” Sladkov clarified.
«Yes, of course, you're always welcome.“,” the oligarch agreed.
However, he added that "there is a nuance here».
«Today's demographic trends, unfortunately, are different from those XIX centuries, when the total fertility rate in the Russian Empire There were 7 children per woman. And we, as Russians, as a nation, grew so quickly that we could go into Central Asia, anywhere, and still feel that there would be more Russians left.
Now that our TFR is 1,3 this year, already like in dying Europe (we will soon reach Japan and Korea, where it is less than one), uniting with countries where the TFR is 2, or even 3, means changing our population composition and cultural identity.
This is not just a political issue, but a historically fateful one. Therefore It is very important for us now to focus on ourselves.“,” Malofeev explained.
«We need to change this situation with our demographics. This is our main challenge. After the war"Of course. Because war could destroy us politically. There would be no state," the entrepreneur added.
