"'Better you than the Chinese,' that's what my ex-boss told me," the small-framed Soliev says between double shifts as a stoker at the village school, earning him around $250 a month, nearly twice the average Tajik wage.

The arrival to urban centers and the countryside of Soliev and millions of other mostly Muslim labor migrants from Central Asia is at the center of what could emerge as Russia's most radical ethnic makeover in centuries.

Half of the students in Soliev's school are their raven-haired children, and their wives, in long skirts and head scarves, shop for groceries at a store next to the Orthodox church.

"In 10 years, the village will either disappear or become foreign," says retiree Viktor Yerofoeyevich, declining to give his last name.

However, the Russian’s tend to be ruthless if the state is threatened

They have DACA there too?

Once they get Russian citizenship, many migrants become an important asset for local politicians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia

The population of Russia peaked at 148,689,000 in 1991, just before the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Low birth rates and abnormally high death rates caused Russia’s population to decline at a 0.5% annual rate, or about 750,000 to 800,000 people per year from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s.

The UN warned in 2005 that Russia’s then population of about 143 million could fall by a third by 2050, if trends did not improve.

In 2018, the UN predicted that Russia’s population will fall to 132 million by 2050.

Most of Europe is similarly being sold out to the Islamic invaders. As is USA but fortunately obama didn’t get the job done - there’s still time to repatriate them and save America

Anyone who thinks the Russians are going to sit around and watch Tver go Tajik is nuts. That’s a very old, very early Russian city. When the last Russians die out, the motorcycle clubs will move in.

The Russians also have the added advantage of not giving a crap about what the rest of the world thinks of them.

All our welfare recipients can transfer their EBT accounts to a local bank. Live like kings on half the salary. Refill the towns and do an episode if Fixer Upper there. Perhaps a whole season. Plenty of the required drama scenarios possible.

If they think Muslims are better than the Chinese they are nuts.

And we have our own problems. The small town I grew up in that was full of white people is now, and has been for many years, 98% Mexican.

Gee, it’s nice to hear that after a chat with the Tajik strongman, the muslim boys stopped being “rude” to the Russian girls.

The Armenian Orthodox Church turned around their declining birthrate. That could be a model for the Russians, who have shown interest in policies to increase their birthrate.

India could be an option for them as well, to diversify their immigrants.

Do you have a source for that? I'd be interested to see if Armenian Orthdox (in Armenia, or in the diaspora?) have turned a sub-replacement birthrate into a replacement-or-better one, and additional statistical details regarding the scope, magnitude, and duration of any shifts.
