> Russians have massive amount of brain drain. Most of tech employees have left

I doubt this will continue.

The West has clearly demonstrated that their sanction and Russo-phobia will target not just politicians and oligarch, but normal people as well. Students being expelled, employees and artists fired, hospitals not treating them, etc.

Ordinary Russians aren't safe/welcome in the West, and they know it. Going home is their only choice (or praying that Russia collapses soon and Russo-phobia ends... sounds like a gamble).

This is an active topic in the Russian community: which countries are the most Russia-friendly. In general, the countries the closest to Russia and most likely to be invaded next are the most hostile (Baltics, Romania etc.). However, the countries further away care less, and in non-Western countries practically nobody cares. You will be just labeled "white" an that's all.
