I left Russia. Am I scared? - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

When did this happen? Why did I decide to do it? Am I scared? What happens next? As some of you might know, I left Russia long before this war started. And I was planning to visit it in May of last year, but for obvious reasons, I couldn't. And, unfortunately, I am not sure when I will be able to go back home.

0:00 I left the country. Why this happened and when?
1:29 Most of my friends left Russia as well
2:36 The most ridiculous reason to make people leave
5:09 Russia will have problems in the future because of this...
7:12 Will I go back to Russia?

1. Who can blame them.

There's a sizable community of Russian emigrés now in, of all places, Argentina - mainly in Buenos Aires.

It's well-publicized inflation problem notwithstanding, Argentina has liberal immigration policies and a good jobs climate - at least until a right-wing government gets in this October (potentially), and drives the economy into the ditch.

But for the time being, it seems to work for most of them - Ukrainians too (in smaller numbers).
