Labor migrants are usually the least involved in foreign affairs of their host countries but usually the first to take a hit on any negative consequences. The World Bank has projected that, on average, remittances from Russia will fall by 25 percent in 2022. World Bank’s estimates for January-September 2021 show that remittances to Kyrgyzstan are the most dependent on Russia, constituting 83 percent of all remittances to Kyrgyzstan. The same statistics for Tajikistan and Uzbekistan indicate less dependence on Russia: 58 percent of all remittances to Tajikistan and 55 percent of all remittances to Uzbekistan came from Russia for the same period.
