While looking for statistics of how many migrants are there in Germany from the former USSR, I came across a curious publication called "Kriminalität von Aussiedlern: Eine Bestandsaufnahme" (Engl. Criminality of Immigrants: an inventory). It is a 61 page publication by the Federal Office for Migration and Asylum that outlines amongst other things percentage of crimes committed by foreigners vs. Germans. First of all, I was very surprised that something like this actually existed and has been researched. Second of all, just out of interest I searched for 'Soviet Union' and found this little statistic in relation to the land of Hamburg on page 17: "Die Kriminalitätsbelastung der Aussiedler ist im Vergleich zu allen Hamburgern geringer, wobei die Aussiedler aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion unter allen Aussiedlern auf dem Niveau der Deutschen insgesamt liegen." (Engl. "The crime rate of emigrants is lower compared to all the Hamburgers, however the emigrants from the former Soviet Union out of all emigrants are together on the same level with the Germans.") It is heartwarming to know that we're not lagging behind the locals!

Soviets are naughty
At the moment I'm doing literature research for my bachelor thesis. Right now the title is: "Loneliness amongst older migrants from the former Soviet Union : the role of the social network." However it might still change, while I wait for 101 approvals...
