Abstract: Using panel data for the 2001-2008 period we estimate the gravity model of migration between Russian regions. We show that though the migration flows have been quite stable, their determinants have changed substantially. Our special attention is drawn to the role of distance between the regions. Our special attention is drawn to the role of distance between regions as one of the main factors of migration. Dividing pairs of regions into nine groups according to the distance between regional centers, we estimate the model for each group separately. We find out that social and economic factors are affecting migration mainly between nearby regions. Yet the intensity of flows between distant (>500 km) areas is almost uncorrelated with indicators of social and economic development of regions. Koriscenjem tabelarnih podataka za period 2001.-2008.god., obavili smo procijenu gravitacionog modela migracija između regiona Rusije. Iako su tokovi migracija prilicno stabilni, u ovom radu pokazujemo da je doslo do znacajnih promjena njihovih determinanti. Posebnu pažnju smo posvetili ulozi udaljenosti između datih regiona kao jednog od glavnih faktora migracija. Podjelom parova regiona na devet grupa, na osnovu razdaljine između regionalnih centara, procijenili smo dati model za svaku grupu pojedinacno. Otkrili smo da socijalni i ekonomski faktori uticu na migracije uglavnom između susjednih regiona. Sa druge strane, intezitet tokova između udaljenih podrucja (>500 km) gotovo da nema veze sa indikatorima drustvenog i ekonomskog razvoja regiona.
