In this paper I will give an analysis of the legal and political system of Russia in relation to migrants from Central Asia. The analysis will include consideration not only of the laws and practices applied by state bodies and politicians, but also I will give some examples from my practice of law in deportation cases. The paper will be based on the deportation cases I have myself represented as a lawyer in Moscow where Tadjik migrants faced deportation in the timeframe 2015-2018. The empirical material is based on my own cases which I represent as a lawyer, activist and human rights defender as well as my own research on Islamic economies and migrants rights in Russia.I will apply De Genova`s theoretical framework to analyse my material and make use of his vocabulary of concepts. With the new changes in the deportation law, it became possible to deport every migrant who would have two administrative violations. The paper will present practical tools and interpretations used by legal beurocrats and judges who are part of the whole deportation system of Russia which is directly connected to political games played between Russia and Central Asia where migration policy serves as one of the main tools to have a strict control over Central Asian governments besides security issues.
