A. G. LARIN. CHINESE MIGRANTS IN RUSSIA. HISTORY AND MODERNITY

At the same time, Chinese migrants in Russia are not currently a diaspora in the true sense of the word, so the author calls the Chinese community a "quasi-diaspora" (p.159), not excluding the possibility of its transformation into a real diaspora in the future.
