At least 50 thousand Kyrgyz with Russian citizenship, work in Moscow and the Moscow Region of Russia, Abdygany Shakirov, director of the interregional public organization Kyrgyz Birimdigi told the news agency 24.kg.

Russian citizenship gives Kyrgyzstanis a chance to find a good job. "Range of spheres where labor migrants can find occupation reduces in leaps. After the incident on the Cherkizov market, the Russian Federal Migration Service has banned employment of foreigners in trade. But our countrymen arrive to Moscow with Russian passports and get job," Shakirov said.

"Many Moscow construction projects have been frozen due to economic crisis in 2008 and a lot of migrant workers were fired. But the construction revived as autumn set in and the Kyrgyz again left for Moscow in search of earning," he said.
