Russian language precondition for employment
The Russian State Duma today passed a draft law on not hiring immigrants lacking knowledge of the Russian language.
According to the new draft law, immigrants, especially those working for condominiums and fast food places should prove that they speak Russian or else they will be dismissed.
According to the law, immigrants should quickly take a Russian language test and receive a certificate from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and then go back to work.
There are 160 centers where citizens of the CIS and other countries can take the test and receive adequate certificates.
The State Duma's draft law is especially for those who were born after the collapse of the USSR, reports ITAR-TASS.
