Russian Federation Internal Displacements: New Displacement Incidents and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Russia, tracking both the year-end stock of displaced persons and new displacement incidents. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and aligns with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It serves as a validated resource for analyzing long-term displacement trends resulting from conflict, violence, and disasters.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement triggers based on conflict and disaster events mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on annual stock figures
• Estimating humanitarian needs based on new displacement incident counts

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct metrics: year-end population stock and new displacement incidents.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
