Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia has become one of the main destinations for immigration in the world.
According to figures from the United Nations 2015-2016 international migration report, the country is tied with Germany for the second spot in terms of the number of migrants living within its borders, with the United States at the top of the list.
