Post-Soviet migration refers to the movement of people from the former Soviet Union after its dissolution in 1991. This migration involved various ethnic groups, including Russians, Ukrainians, and Central Asians, seeking better economic opportunities, political stability, or escaping conflict. Many migrated to countries within the European Union or to Russia itself. The migration patterns were influenced by factors such as economic hardship, ethnic tensions, and the desire for a better quality of life. Some migrants settled in urban areas, while others returned to their ancestral regions. This movement has significantly shaped the demographics and cultural landscapes of both sending and receiving countries.
