Although these people were provided by Russia, Spain would still screen them. Those involved in anti-government movements or holding particularly dangerous ideologies among the Russians would be strictly excluded from the immigrant population supplied by Russia.
It's better to let these people stay in Russia to trouble the Tsarist Government; Spain does not need these anarchists and radicals to cause trouble.
Compared to Russia, Spain still holds some attraction for these Russian peasants. Although Russia's reforms abolished slavery, these serfs are still being exploited by Russian nobles and landlords in a different way.
Although Alexander II granted these serfs the status of freemen, they still have no land or property.
Without land, how can these newly freed serfs continue to survive?
