A businessperson probably not, but let's say, a software developer with a relatively good salary? Not sure if they would have any other options than Russian banks (or banks that would be affected by such a confiscation, even if they're not based in Russia)...

There's always an option to invest the money using foreign brokers like Interactive Brokers (they even have russian UI and support) who did not boot russians previously. Or buy a property and rent it, which is a popular option too. Or cash out the foreign currency and keep it under the mattress.

AFAIK, Interactive Brokers told all Russia-based accounts to move after sanctions were announced.
