Your link suggests this is largely to remove red tape while working in Russia. It does not answer how many are settling long-term. There is of course also this little complication:

The link suggests the opposite.

"While Tajik expatriates have some scant freedom of movement and residency privileges in Russia as compared to peers from most of the world outside the former Soviet Union, they have limited access to accommodation and credit, making settling long-term a complicated proposition.

Migrant laborers also face recurrent costs like payment for their work permits.

Holding Russian citizenship makes many problems go away."

"Anecdotal evidence"

Exactly.
