From your question I can guess you most likely live in a developed country with a great passport and/or have a career where you make great money enabling you to move country whenever you want.
But for everyone else, to leave their country and move somewhere else legally, you need a visa, and money, which not everyone in Russia has a lot of.
Most countries where Russians left en masses to due to lax visa requirements, pushed the rent prices there to 2x-4x till today. Not great for the locals and not great for the Russian also trying to move there. And most western counties aren't in a rush to issue visas to all Russians.
Unless you have relatives abroad to help you out, or a skilled lucrative profession enabling you to save money and get a visa, you're screwed.
And that's besides the whole ordeal of leaving vulnerable family members behind.
