Comparability — General

Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time.

Boundary changes and confidentiality issues:

• Aginsky Buryat District was merged with Chita Oblast in 2008 to form Zabaykalsky Krai
• Nenets Autonomous District has a very low number of migrants and was combined with Arkhangelsk Oblast.

The 2010 sample is missing place of enumeration data on two regions:

• Nenets Autonomous Region
• Chukotka Autonomous Region

MIG1_1_RU is only available for the 2010 sample.

For international migrants' country of previous residence, see MIGCTRY1
