"Not a dependent, but a worker." A Russian immigrant in Germany is shocked by the discrimination of Central Asians in Russia

Roman, a Russian who came to Germany to study and knows life here well, spoke to blogger Dmitry Mashkov about the differences between Central Asians in Russia and immigrants in Europe.

According to Roman, the desire of Central Asians to Russia is a great gift for Russians, they support the country's economy. These migrants work, pay taxes and provide services. He noted that labor migration in Russia is very profitable, which is why Moscow is a city on the level of New York, and taxi fares are cheaper than in Poland.

Compared to Europe, one can see how effective Central Asian immigrants are for the Russian state.

"Migrants in Europe are mostly refugees, immediately apply for social assistance (600 euros per month), do not learn the language, and often avoid work. This is why they are seen as dependents, which has led to a negative perception of foreigners."
