You mean leave the country? Yes, that option is there for those with enough money. It was there not just for a year but all the way back to 2014 when the alarm bells really started ringing.
Even though I regularly meet Russians who believe the West is "closed" for them because of the war, I don't think that's true (though I have no first-hand experience).
But even in Asia it's getting less and less viable. I have a friend who left recently and is currently on the verge of insolvency because apparently countries around the world tighten banking and visa regulations for those Russians who don't have millions of dollars. He doesn't see any way to get a bank account and get paid for online freelance work and country-hopping gets really expensive really fast.
Well, your state is waging a genocidal war of aggression against European state and is losing. It's not supposed to be comfortable.
Although I feel you. I don't think (most) Russian citizens should bear personal responsibility for the invasion, same way US citizens were never held responsible for Middle East.
Yes. I your car catches fire when parked, you probably want to grab a fire extinguisher instead of complaining, even though it's not technically your fault.
I'm just curious, I'm not really going to sway your mind if you call this my state and also liken this war to an actual genocide, that already says enough.
