In this issue of the RAD, Andrei Kalachinsky first considers the controversy surrounding the September 2018 gubernatorial elections in Primorsky Krai, in which a Kremlin-backed candidate won a rerun vote after the annulment of the original election. Shiau-shyang Liou then examines the contested issue of Chinese immigrant labor in the Russian Far East. He argues that while Russia has relaxed restrictions on Chinese immigration in response to labor shortages, increasing incomes and emerging labor shortfalls in China may still lead to declining numbers of Chinese immigrant workers in the years ahead.
