| As international experience shows that migration is an area that could have an impact on the economic development of countries and regions, cause a degree of social tension, to influence the demographic situation, interethnic relations. Historical knowledge can make a comprehensive study in retrospect. International migration in the modern world is an objective process. Appeal to the history of different migration flows makes it possible to trace the interaction of these groups among themselves and the social environment, the emerging local population. Historical knowledge has a research device to explain such interactions.At the same time, international migration in a concentrated form reflects the problems encountered in the country and region, is an indicator of socio-economic situation and public sentiment. Therefore, the example of migration is possible to analyze the development of certain historical eras and periods, the stages of social processes.Studying the history of migration between the three above-mentioned countries is one of the ways the most important challenges:the population of a territory perceived large-scale changes in the socio-economic situation, the transition to new forms and principles of management. Relevance of studies of migration is determined by the fact that they are the result and a prerequisite for social change, obvious or hidden processes. Based on the weighty significance of migration in the life of the Far East region, their contemporaries, the researchers showed in this phenomenon is of particular interest.The arrival of citizens from abroad, foreign labor is now rapidly become a reality not only for Russia but for other post-Soviet territory. The proposed work may be important to compare and contrast social practice and historical experience. Migration processes can influence the formation of the socio-economic and political situation, the allocation of factors of social development, the formation of political and legal system of the state.Historiography of the topic has a number of features. The first of these is that the majority of researchers, as contemporaries of the events, studied the phenomenon in the course of its development. It should include all research projects that relate to different scientific disciplines. This necessity is dictated by the complex nature of the study, the proximity of the reporting period to the present.For Russia, migration policy-in terms of internal or/and international migration flows management-was an ever-important element of the State activities. Concentrated on State interests, the policy also resulted in human development. The paper presents a historical overview of the Soviet and Russian migration policies with special emphases on the impact on human development and the driving forces behind the changing policies. The Soviet period can be characterized as contradiction between strict limitations on the freedom of movement provided by the propiska system, and large-scale population movements, both voluntary and involuntary, that were inspired by economic and administrative policy measures to meet labor demand of an industrializing economy. In the post-Soviet period, international migration is the major focus of the Russian migration policy. The Russian Federation is the major receiving country in the vast former USSR territory. The evolution of Russian migration policy in the post-Soviet period is a good example for getting a better understanding of how the everlasting conflict between the need for additional human resources and anti-immigrant public moods (typical of all receiving countries), combined with the opportunistic considerations of political elites, that hampers the elaboration of a reasonable long-term migration strategy. Russian migration policy has been drifting from a relatively open immigration regulation based on a laissez faire approach in the early 1990s to restrictive immigration laws in the early 2000s and to an 'open door' migration policy in respect to CIS citizens in 2007.1...
