Labor Migrants from Kyrgyzstan: Russia Tightens Security Measures, Our Citizens Seek Other Countries

Monday, September 15, 2025, 18:21 “In the coming years, the number of Kyrgyz citizens working in Russia will decrease to 200,000.” Following the tragedy at Crocus City Hall, Russia has been compelled to strengthen its security measures, including in the sphere of labor migration. This was announced by Sergey Vakunov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Kyrgyzstan, in a broadcast on Birinchi Radio. “The issue of labor migration remains one of the most pressing and is regularly discussed at all levels. We have agreed that it is necessary to approach this matter as carefully and professionally as possible. All the new regulations currently being developed in Russia are aimed at legalizing migration and improving conditions for labor migrants, including citizens of Kyrgyzstan,” Vakunov stated. Economist Iskender Sharsheev, in a conversation with Vesti.kg, noted that for the time being, Kyrgyz citizens continue to regard Russia as their primary destination for labor migration. “However, there are many large projects in Kyrgyzstan that require labor resources. If the war between Ukraine and Russia ends, migration flows to these countries will increase. Otherwise, the outflow will continue to decline,” he argued. In the coming years, Sharsheev added, the number of labor migrants may fall to 200,000 people if the political situation remains unchanged. According to official data, by the end of the first quarter of 2025, there were 325,000 Kyrgyz migrants officially registered in Russia. The downward trend continues: in 2023, there were 650,000 Kyrgyz migrants in Russia, while in 2024 the figure had already dropped to 350,000. Kyrgyz citizens are successfully exploring new migration destinations, including Europe, South Korea, China, the United States, and other countries.

Анклавы и эксклавы

Либертарианство – это система убеждений, которая лучше всего защищает права простого человека, нежели коммунизм или социализм, которые прямо требует защиты интересов партийных боссов. Так когда-то некие партийные боссы двух социалистических республик подарили друг другу участки земли, как бы вроде курорта или дачи. Но во время развала Союза, эти две республики как-то не решились вернуть друг другу земли. И получились анклавы – Сох, Шахимардан, таджикский Ворух, и на территории РУз – Барак. А нам теперь расхлебывать наследие советской номенклатуры. Сегодня ни один наш правитель, ни один наш парламент не смеют поднимать вопрос окончательной делимитации и демаркации границ, а также вопрос о ликвидации анклавов. Армия РУз – имеет свыше одного миллиона регулярных войск и свыше 700 тысяч резервистов. Хотя боеспособность армии еще не апробирована всерьез, но на блицкриг и мини-геноцид соседей Кыргызстана и Узбекистана хватит. В Кыргызской республике, есть около 600 самых боеспособны...

Falls and Rises: How Gold Prices Changed in Kyrgyzstan in June and Since the Beginning of 2025

14:00, July 10, 2025, Bishkek – 24.kg, Nargiza TOKOEVA Recently, global gold prices have been rising at an unusually rapid pace, repeatedly hitting record highs. The market has now somewhat stabilized. The surge in demand for the precious metal has been driven by several powerful factors: Aggressive purchases by central banks (especially BRICS countries) aiming to reduce dependence on the US dollar; Global geopolitical and trade tensions (tariff wars, sanctions, and regional conflicts); Weakening of the US dollar. All of these factors have made gold more attractive as a safe-haven asset. According to the London market, the most recent record was set on April 22, 2025, when the price of one troy ounce reached $3,434 on the London exchange. However, Kyrgyzstan recorded its highest local gold price on June 16, 2025. On April 23 — the day global gold prices hit a historical high — the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan set the price at 305,507.5 soms per ounce. But on June 16, the ...

“Moving the capital to Manas will cost about 16–17 billion dollars in the first stage”

Wednesday, October 15, 2025, 10:08 The city will become the third of national significance in 2026. Relocating the capital to Jalal-Abad region could have a positive impact on the congestion of the current capital. Bishkek is now overpopulated, which is evident from worsening traffic jams, uncontrolled construction, water supply shortages, and other issues, said economist Iskender Sharsheev in an interview with Vesti.kg. “The city is developing and expanding. The authorities have many projects aimed at attracting investors — some have already been implemented. Bishkek is gradually expanding both westward and eastward. These same resources could be redirected to the Jalal-Abad region for the development of Manas. Organizationally, this is difficult, but if there is political will, it can be done,” he said. The expert believes that transferring part of Bishkek’s functions to Manas would ease the load on the capital. “I think the capital could be relieved. We now see traffic jams, a ...
