It is also an acknowledgement and expression of gratitude to PRESIDENT those who made this Project possible by their generosity and their spirit of volunteerism. First and foremost, we owe this initiative to the AND THE visionary and sustained commitment of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which are funding the DIRECTOR Universities Project and its adjunct Visiting Advisors Program, respectively. Without the generous and steady support of these two OF THE foundations, none of the activities described herein would have happened. We are also grateful for the Project’s growing number of UNIVERSITIES partners and friends who have donated their time and expertise to give intellectual and practical guidance to the Universities Project. The ROJECT P continuing counsel of the Project’s Advisory Committee has been absolutely crucial to the success of our work, as has been the support of many other individuals who have become active participants of the Project. We believe it is fair to say that, over time, the Project has become one of the most active and effective interfaces between North American and European university leaders, not only as a neutral interface, but as an active advocate of transatlantic mutual learning and understanding. The Salzburg Seminar will continue to provide a meeting place where leaders in higher education can meet, exchange views, and share experiences.

Chudinovskikh2 1 Independent Researcher, Moscow, 105568, Russia 2 Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, 119991, Russia Received 30 May 2020 ♦ Accepted 8 July 2020 ♦ Published 25 September 2020 Citation: Donets EV, Chudinovskikh OS (2020) Russian policy on assistance to the resettlement of compatriots against the background of international experience. Population and Economics 4(3): 1–32. https://doi.org/10.3897/ popecon.4.e54911 Abstract The article is devoted to the assessment of the conceptual framework and results of the implemen- tation of the State Program of assistance to voluntary resettlement to the Russian Federation of compatriots living abroad in the context of international practice. Programs aimed at returning compatriots are practiced by a number of states wishing to attract ethnically and culturally relat- ed migrants or restore historical justice in relation to certain ethno-confessional groups. Typically, they exist along with other immigration programs, providing repatriates with almost unfettered admission to the country. Since 2006, the only program in this field in Russia is the State Program of assistance to voluntary resettlement of compatriots. The originally formulated principles place it in a special position when compared with other repatriation programs. Based on the evaluation of the experience of the Russian program and international experience in the establishment and application of ethnic repatriation programs, it was concluded that in some cases the additional re- quirements for compatriots are hardly compatible with the main humanitarian task of a repatriation program, which affects its final effectiveness.
