(2) „The fact that we have such a wonderfully diverse population here, a very, very good thing for this community, and for the young people in this community to be in school with people from all over the world. That’s amazing. And so you’re sitting next someone from somewhere else in the world; what a great geography lesson; what a great sociology lesson; what a great history lesson. So, so I think that our children are having the opportunity to be more accepting, to have a bigger world view. I see this as extremely positive for our community, on every level that I can possibly think of.” (Foundation leader, In: E. P. Kraly, ed. R. C. Jones , 2008). picture: http://news.ronatvan.com/2008/02/11/whites-to-become-minority-in-us-by-2050/.

(37) Russians have not been typical of other Euroamerican. immigrant groups in North America. Russian residential enclaves have been relatively slow to. disperse through time – slow assimilation . . They had to bear the burden of negative perception because of Communism because of the perception that Russia is not truly European They live and they tend to live in isolated enclaves because of their religion(Orthodox, Old Believers, Doukhobors, Molokans, Baptists, Pentacostals) because of their experience at home (persecution, discrimination, etc.).
(38) Four waves of Russian migration after the first movement to. Alaska in 1867: 1880-1917 . Russians migrated to the Pacific Rim of North America for religious, political, and socioeconomic reasons. Almost 50.000 Russians settled in the region by the beginning of the Russian Revolution in 1917.. 1917-1945 . . At the end of the Russian civil war in 1922, thousands who were fleeing the Soviet regime arrived in the US and Canada. A last percentage of them were from the aristocratic classes or were professionals, military officers, Orthodox clergy, and other opposed to the Soviet regime. Most newcomers had to accept employment at the lowest level when they first arrived. There were also many Jews among émigrés who had to left Russia to escape religious and political persecution. 1924: restrictive immigration laws were passed and became effective in 1929. The National Origins Act established the annual immigration quota at 150,000, with total number per country dependent on percentages of population already living in the United States. These calculations were based on the 1920 census, and the large numbers of Russians had settled in the US after 1922, so the total number of people permitted entry from the Soviet Union was minimized..
(39) 1945-1987 A variety of Russian religious groups arrived on the North American Pacific Rime after World War II. Many Russians lived in China. During the Chinese civil war from 1946 to 1949 tens of thousands of Russians who had been living in China were forced to leave the country. Close to 15,000 Russians were transported to Tubabao, in the Philippines, by the International Refugee Association in May, 1949. Due to the restrictive US immigration laws, Russians could not qualify as immigrants for admission into the US. Senator Knowland sponsored a bill in Congress that expanded the US refugee quota to include Russians. Because of these changes in American immigration restrictions, Russians came to this country in large numbers in 1950-51. No large scale exodus occurred until the late 1980s from the former Soviet Union. After 1987 1987 President Gorbachev met with President Reagan: residents of the USSR were free to leave. This announcement triggered the first large scale emigration from the Soviet Union since the early years of the socialist revolution..

(42) . . . . . Background Information This project aims to analyze immigration patterns in the USA between 1990 and 2007 and illustrate the changing structures of the immigrant population for this period. Secondly, it aims to examine the lives of immigrants and, in particular, attitudes towards their new surroundings and the host country. A further objective is also to ask US citizens and long-term residents about their perceptions of recent immigrants. In terms of quantitative analysis the project will attempt to examine how mutual perceptions of newcomers and residents are affected by their various nationalities, religions, languages, levels of education etc. Furthermore this project investigates how government regulates the flow of immigrants and what kind of civil society organisations try to help the new arrivals and how those activities are managed.
