Migrants in Russia are required to know Russian and history

The Government of the Russian Federation approved the minimum level of knowledge of the Russian language, history and the foundations of Russian legislation for foreign workers. The document is published on the official Internet portal of legal information.

So, migrants should speak freely on social and household and some professional topics, reports RIA Novosti. In particular, this applies to employment, counseling in the hospital and treating the police. Also, they were obliged to be able to fill out the necessary documents and applications.

When surrendering the exam in Russia’s history, applicants check the knowledge of key events, the names of the largest cities and major public holidays. In addition, they should be familiar with their fundamental rights, freedoms and responsibilities when staying in the country.

These requirements, for some exception, concern those who plan only to temporarily live in Russia
