Abstract

The article discusses the theoretical issues of assessing the implementation of the objectives of the Far East demographic policy by 2025 to both stabilize its population at the level of 6.253 million people and zero migration growth. The question is raised of the legality of their consideration in the framework of the new, expanded composition of the Far Eastern Federal District. The author gives an assessment of the fallibility of such a methodological approach, its lack of thought. From both theoretical and practical points of view, the issues of the dynamics of the number of Far Easterners, the specifics of the migration contribution to this dynamics in historical retrospective are examined in the framework of ten-year periods from the beginning of the 1950s until 2010, and then in some years. The question of the legitimacy of the revival of the eastern vector of Russia's demographic development in the near future – by 2025, and the medium-term – by 2050 is raised. Measures are proposed to change the approach to state regulation of migration in the Far East, transferring not only, and not so much migrants, not only and not so much new settlers, as many old-timers, to the focus of state support and ongoing compensations and benefits.
