Preventive operation "Migrant-2014» was held with the support of the Federal Migration Service of Russia and the Government of Moscow from October 22 to November 4, 2014 and was the largest action in combatting illegal migration in Moscow in recent years.

The head of the Federal Migration Service of Russia in Moscow, O.E. Kirillova proposed to conduct similar operations at least once every quarter, particularly focusing on the control of foreign employees on construction sites, the consumer market and transportation.

In general, in the framework of preventive operations "Migrant 2014" staff conducted 1323 inspections, during which the Federal Migration Service of Russia in Moscow prevented 5,400 violations, including:

•    763 violations of period of stay (Art. 18.8 of the Administrative Code);
•    901 violation of the rules of employment of foreign citizens (Art. 18.10 of the Administrative Code);
•    535 cases of the illegal hiring of foreign employees (Art. 18.15 of the Administrative Code).

Particular attention was given to the residential sector, and especially to inspecting those apartments whose owners were previously found to be liable for violating migration laws of the Russian Federation.

There was much assistance provided in conducting inspections by public associations. With their participation, more than 1,500 foreign citizens were tested and nearly 250 violators were identified.
