"Human mobility today is a pronounced phenomenon, it is a phenomenon that is present everywhere, in all directions," Laura Thompson stressed in her lecture, adding:
Data of the International Organization for Migration indicates that 60 million people have moved to live in another place because of political conflicts in their hometowns. For the first time there are such high levels of emigration after World War II.
