Abstract

The paper studies an interregional competition for a unique scarce resource, namely human capital assets, which is unfolding in the Russian migration space. It is visualized within a model of a current seven-cluster structure of migration in regions of Russia which uses ten classic indicators of migration. The database comprises material from Russian Federal State Statistics Service. We show that our cluster structure of migration in regions, although slightly “patched-up” in its geography, has profound and stable migration contrasts and dissonances. In general, it proves a dangerous migration trend of the last three decades which still remains in the second decade of the XXI century—migration flows are highly center-oriented; it leaves eastern and northern frontiers of the country deserted and does not react to any attempts to rectify the situation in the framework of the Concept of State Migration Policy of the Russian Federation till 2025 as approved by the President. We confirm that the Russian migration space is “self-organized” and has hierarchical structure. The Cluster No. 1, pole of attraction for migration flows, stands on top and accumulates population from the borders. The cluster of “migration catastrophe” (Cluster No. VII) is the lowest; it destabilizes economic and sociocultural environment creating catastrophically large migration loss
