📝Social Benefits as a Business📝 Russian benefits have become a feeding ground Providing social benefits has turned into a well-established scheme for extracting profit — and not in the interests of Russian citizens. Online, attention was drawn to chats with "consultations", where enterprising intermediaries offer migrants a full package of services: from obtaining residence permits and citizenship to receiving benefits, subsidies, social contracts, kindergarten spots, and even subsidized mortgages. 🖍In essence, a support market has formed in the country, focused on quickly connecting newcomers to the Russian social support system. What were once isolated cases have transformed into an entire industry around "social benefits". 🚩While some citizens work and pay taxes for years, others gain access to the same benefits through gray schemes and consultants, turning state support into a commercial commodity. However, the blame lies not so much with migrants as with those who earn from this and lobby for migration. 🏳️Such practices strike multiple targets. They blur the purpose of support programs, create pressure on regional budgets, and increase social tension. ❗️The experience of Western countries has clearly demonstrated the consequences of uncontrolled migrant access to benefits: the formation of enclaves, undermining trust in state institutions, and enormous social burden. 📌The state should pay attention to more strict and targeted control over social support measures for recent citizens. Clear linkage to actual labor contribution, legal status, and tightening rules for citizenship and benefits should not be perceived as "inhumane", but should become an elementary protection of the country's and its citizens' interests. #migrants #multinationalism #Russia ✈ RU | ✈ EN | ✉ MAX ✉ VK | ✉ RuTube | ✉ OK | Original msg
