- Abstract
- What new anthropological perspectives on migration are being opened as a result of the current economic crisis in Russia and the recent changes in migration policies that have forced migrants toreturn en masse to the countries of their origin? Today, the intent to return is built into the strategies of Central Asian migrants and most of them think of eventually coming back and use occasionalopportunities for traveling to their home countries every once in a while. I discuss the various models of circular cross-border mobility (long-term, seasonal, rotational) as well as practices ensuing fromthe migrants’ state of deportability, factors affecting their preparedness for return, and their sense of nostalgia for the transnational migrant life. I argue that the post-Soviet space is in dynamic sync with recurrent economic rises and falls which is conducive to the sense of uncertainty and may mean that migrations will keep unfolding in changing patterns following the abrupt turns in the social lifeof the past and current decades.
