- Harmonization table
- No supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

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.
