it depends on the Japan's proposition. If they will propose to guarantee jobs for every new citizen with typical for Japan salary - it will be enough because the exchange rate of Russian ruble is dropped by more than 100% in the last 5 days.

0.0091, down to 0.0075 is far from 100% by the way, a drop of 100% or more would imply the currency is below zero no matter its previous value.

so what we see here is a 20%, max 25% drop of the rubble to the dollar. bringing people's view towards reality is a difficult but much needed change to wish for.

Considering how much discrimination japanese Koreans and especially Ainu has faced, it's hard to take this proposition at a face value. "Would you like to have an average wage of our country as a second-class citizen".

People will readily pay or forgo money in order to live how they want where they want with people they get along with.
