If you've ever been to Russia you will understand why people do not want to seek asylum there - they are as likely to be persecuted there as wherever they're coming from. Russians aren't terribly welcoming to non-Slavic peoples, and don't exactly have a wonderful human rights record, with the pogroms and the kulaks and all that.

Russia is ranked third in the list of countries with the highest immigration behind US and Germany.
Germany moved up to second place in 2015 due to Merkels invite to Africa and the Middle East, the 10 preceding years Russia was always on 2nd place behind US.
So much for Gulags and unwelcoming Russians.

What about Germany and the Nazis concentration camps?
Russia is a big country with a history of immigration from the soviet days, when people from the different republics where made to move to different areas of the country
