Abstract: Abstract Following the isolation policy under Ivan the Terrible’s reign, Russia became open to foreigners. The vast majority of migrants to Russia in the sixteenth and seventeenth century came from the Middle East and Western Europe mostly because of the different wars or for religious reasons. Under Peter the Great, migration into Russia was even guided by a legal framework. In his effort to transform the economy, reform the administrative system, and to improve national education, Peter the Great introduced in the late 1690-ties a policy of openness by inviting foreign professionals, especially for military, shipbuilding, and teachers. These came mainly from countries in Northern and Western Europe with whom he intended to build close economic relations. In addition, he also launched initiatives to send Russians to study in Europe.
