Abstract
This chapter attempts to offer a comprehensive picture of migration from the post-Soviet states to Poland. It presents factors facilitating migration to Poland from the East, including former connections to Poland and the existing migration policy instruments targeted at citizens of the post-Soviet states. Moreover, it offers a brief overview of available statistical data related to the scale of migration from the former USSR states to Poland as well as to structural characteristics of the population of post-Soviet migrants in Poland. This contribution aims to answer the question of whether post-Soviet migrants may be treated as a fairly homogenous group, which would justify generalisations based on what existing studies show as regards Ukrainians. The analysis provides evidence that post-Soviet migrants in Poland do not constitute a uniform group. Consequently, it points to the need to go beyond studies focused solely on Ukrainian migrants.
