Primorye, Khabarovsk and Amur Regions remain key regions for the resettlement of compatriots to the Far East

The state program to assist compatriots living abroad in the voluntary resettlement to the Russian Federation remains a key tool for attracting people to the regions of the Far East. Since the program's implementation, approved by a presidential decree in 2006, more than 73,000 people have moved to the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. The Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC) is participating in the implementation of the state program in the Far Eastern Federal District.

All 11 regions of the Far East, designated as priority settlement areas and offering expanded government support, are participating in the program. In 2025, the largest number of resettlers were received in Primorsky Region (218), Khabarovsk Region (178), and Amur Region (131).

Grigory Smolyak, Director of the Department of Social Development at the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, notes that the compatriot resettlement program remains an important part of the macro-region's demographic and social policy.

"Participants in the State Resettlement Program and their family members can count on expedited Russian citizenship, increased relocation allowances, payments in the absence of employment income, housing subsidies, and additional tools, such as free land through the “Hectare” program and the opportunity to purchase housing on preferential terms, including through the “Far Eastern Mortgage” program. FEDC specialists support families moving to the Far East at every stage—from consultations to receiving support measures and adaptation to the new location," noted Vasily Kravtsov, Head of the FEDC Department of Social Projects.
