This dissertation examines Soviet and post-Soviet Russian attempts to control temporary labor migration to Moscow from 1971 to 2002. Under both the Soviet command economy and the Russian capitalist one, Moscow faced a chronic shortage of workers to fill unskilled, physically demanding positions in the industrial, construction, and transportation sectors. By analyzing how the Office for the Use of Labor Resources in Moscow regulated migration to the capital, I elucidate how the boundaries of belongings in Moscow shifted in conjunction with larger economic and demographic concerns. Soviet policy required that all residents of Moscow (as well as other cities) apply for a residency permit and provide proof of a job before relocating. Russian authorities adapted this policy, requiring all residents-including visitors-to announce their presence with the policy.Contrary to what might be expected, the registration became a much more repressive tool of exclusion in the post-Soviet period. In the 1970s, Soviet social support, particularly in workers' dormitories, was crucial for the social integration of these temporary labor migrants, known as limitchiki. These programs correlated with reduced labor turnover and increased productivity. Moreover, this dissertation argues that the economic uncertainty that began under perestroika unleashed anti-migrant sentiment. Muscovites held the limitchiki responsible for the capital's untamed population growth and blamed them for taxing the city's infrastructure-the very infrastructure that the limitchiki had been hired to build and maintain.After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Office for the Use of Labor Resources worked with the newly established Federal Migration Service to govern migration and attempted to restrict all forms of in-migration to Moscow. While unemployment was pervasive, labor vacancies remained in the transportation and construction sectors, rendering temporary labor migration necessary. However, migrants lacked the social support of the dormitory, and the Office was reluctant to issue temporary registration to labor migrants, refugees, and forced migrants, whom they lumped together as foreigners. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Federal Migration Service (FMS) ascribed the same problems to new arrivals that it had to limitchiki, except now these complaints were overtly xenophobic in their nature.
