Abstract

IT industry is one of the top priority areas for economic development not only in Russia, but also in other countries worldwide. The Russian government is pursuing a policy to promote the development of information technology in the country and support specialists in this field. The IT sphere is one of the most attractive among applicants, and the IT market volume shows stable growth. However, in the context of tightening Western sanctions and the aggravation of the political situation in February-March 2022, the Russian IT industry faced a massive outflow of qualified specialists from Russia. And although the problem of personnel shortage (including due to migration) has existed in Russia for a long time, the volume of the migration flow of IT specialists over the specified period was significant for the domestic IT industry. The author attempts to identify the reasons for the migration of IT specialists, considering various push and pull factors that exist in the context of the Russian IT market. To achieve this goal, the author conducted a semi-structured survey among representatives of the IT sector, including professionals who have already moved or are planning to move in the near future, as well as those who have decided to stay in Russia. Based on the results of the study, some particular and general factors for the migration of IT specialists were identified. In addition, the article gives the proposals of the interviewed specialists regarding state support for the IT industry.
俄罗斯IT中的数字游牧民和迁移过程:政治分析
IT产业不仅在俄罗斯,而且在世界其他国家都是经济发展的重中之重。俄罗斯政府正在推行一项政策,促进该国信息技术的发展,并支持该领域的专家。IT领域是申请者中最具吸引力的领域之一,IT市场规模稳步增长。然而,在西方制裁收紧和2022年2月至3月政治局势恶化的背景下,俄罗斯IT行业面临着来自俄罗斯的合格专家的大量外流。尽管俄罗斯长期存在人员短缺(包括移民)问题,但在特定时期内,IT专家的移民流量对国内IT行业来说意义重大。考虑到俄罗斯IT市场中存在的各种推拉因素,作者试图确定IT专家迁移的原因。为了实现这一目标,作者对IT部门的代表进行了一项半结构化调查,其中包括已经搬迁或计划在不久的将来搬迁的专业人士,以及决定留在俄罗斯的人。根据研究结果,确定了IT专家迁移的一些特殊和一般因素。此外,文章还提出了受访专家对国家支持信息技术产业的建议。
