When migration turns into a matter of national security, the response is usually local. But not this time.
President Vladimir Putin just signed off on a deal that allows Tajikistan's Ministry of Internal Affairs to open an official office in Moscow — with diplomatic status. At the same time, Russia will open its own ministry office in Dushanbe.
Fair exchange? That depends on how deep you're willing to look.
📌 Here's what we know:
👀 But let's ask the questions no one else will.
🔸 First question: Why Tajikistan?
Because over the last decade, the majority of migrant laborers in Russia —
unofficially up to 90% from Central Asia —
are Tajik nationals. And with that migration
came social tensions, economic strain, and yes — rising crime. Moscow, it
seems, has decided to outsource the problem — or at least share the blame.
🔸 Second question: What does diplomatic immunity really mean?
It means that foreign police officers — operating in Russia — may not be fully subject to Russian law. Imagine an
officer from Tajikistan intervening in a local case involving Tajik migrants —
and being shielded from prosecution. That's not cooperation — that's influence.
🔸 Third question: Who controls migration now?
The Labor and Migration Ministry of
Tajikistan will now have an official foothold in the heart of Russia. From
there, they can monitor their diaspora, assist their citizens — and,
potentially, shape who enters the country, when, and how. Not through lobbying
— but directly, with boots on the ground.
🎯 Or maybe it's a bigger geopolitical play?
Russia needs leverage in Central Asia — a buffer zone between itself and growing pressures from the south. Tajikistan, meanwhile, needs guarantees: economic access, political cover, and security against growing regional instability.
So this deal? It's not just diplomacy. It's a backroom alliance, dressed as technical cooperation.
And as always:
"When two states shake hands, watch where the other hand is."
🧠 Final thoughts:
On paper —
it's a smart move: international cooperation, shared responsibility, regional
stability.
In practice — it may be a quiet concession of
Russian territory to foreign influence under a diplomatic cover.
📌 The real question:
If Tajik police can operate in Moscow — with immunity — who's really in charge of Russian migration policy now?
🗣️ What do you think? Strategic partnership or dangerous precedent?

"Trouble has come to our neighbor's home." These were the words used by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko as he extended a direct invitation to Ukrainians to move to Belarus. Not as refugees, not as outcasts — but as welcome guests. Citizens, even.
A lawmaker without a degree is like a surgeon without hands — talks confidently, but something feels off.
So, actress Yana Poplavskaya finally said what many have whispered for years: if bloggers must prove their credentials, maybe lawmakers should too?

They wanted to regulate the world. But Qatar just reminded them who controls the tap. Europe's climate crusade has crossed a line — and Doha is ready to hit back. If the EU keeps pushing its green rules into foreign economies, it may soon be left out in the cold. Literally.

While the global media stares at the Middle East, Asia, and American elections, something critical is unfolding in Latin America — and it's coming in quietly, on the wings of a Russian Il-76.
"I stumbled upon a post the other day. At first, I was going to scroll past, but something about it made me stop. I read it. And I realized — this needs to be heard. Because it's not just an opinion. It's a mirror. Unpleasant, yes — but truthful. And sometimes, we need to look into those mirrors to remember exactly what kind of world we're in."...
