Migrant workers from Tajikistan describe growing hostility towards them in Russia .

More are being turned back at the border or deported as changes to the law make it easier to expel them.

Trend has economic and security implications for both nations.

Russia 's roughly 6 million migrant workers play a crucial role in keeping its wartime economy afloat.

Russia deported 50% more migrants in the first half of 2024 than the same period in 2023 .

Employers say they need more migrants, not fewer.

In Tajikistan , remittances from workers abroad accounted for more than a third of its GDP.

Tajik officials and some security experts say they fear the worsening economic outlook in the country could prove fertile ground for extremists.

The World Bank forecast Tajik economic growth would slow to 6.5% from 8.3% this year .
