According to statistical data cited during the parliamentary hearings on Russian–Ukrainian cooperation in the Russian Duma in 1999, almost 40% of families in the Belgorod region have relatives in Ukraine. Around 45,000 per year move from Ukraine to the Belgorod region, and about 20,000 leave the region for Ukraine. Around 30,000 people actually live in Ukraine but are registered in the Belgorod region in order not to lose their Russian pensions. “Parlamentskie slushania.
