Russia is suffering the biggest brain drain in decades. This is the other side of the Ukraine War: hundreds of thousands of young Russian professionals are leaving the country because of the situation caused by sanctions and Putin's growing authoritarianism.
Most of these professionals are flying to places like Dubai, India or Kazakhstan... but Europe is closing its borders to them (at least, in terms of granting them work visas). This is due to the sanctions against Russia, which have overlooked important details.
Attracting Russian professionals would be a huge blow against Putin's regime: without talent, no economy can develop. Accepting these bright young workers could also be a golden opportunity to solve many of Europe's major economic problems.
The question is, why is Europe closing its doors to Russian talent? How could it open its doors to Russian workers? In this video we tell you about it.

European countries that DON'T border Russia might consider it, but not countries close to Russia. If too many Russians are in a country (say Latvia) Putin would claim they are being discriminated against and use it as an excuse to invade. I'm in the US and know lots of Russians here. Most are fine and here for the right reasons, but a few seem to hold sympathy for Putin.
Don't you think that russians leaving their country now hold any sympathy to Putin?
And then he will ge closer to other european countries where his fellow citizens are.... Europeans should just decline them all! Sounds sad but it's the best security
He is going to invade usa
i understand having some kind of love for your ancestral land but if set land is ruled by a dictator then well you have to let it go. maybe those russians need to revaluate what it means to be proud of your heritage without voicing support of a monster
You mean putin sympatizers are fleeing from russia? Makes sense
In some memberstates Russian migration is very sensitive topic. For instance, in Baltic states a large number of Russians arrived during Soviet occupation and many of them are still echoing Russian propoganda which is a legit security concern. Baltic states are taking in a lot of political activists,journalists and artists from Russia who have a reason to be afraid for their saftey. However, there is a little empathy for trose who are fleeing because of pure financial reasons and reduced vaccation options.
Ironically, having watched "Soviet" attitudes fail miserably, these Russians might have a totally different view of freedom than those who were thoroughly indoctrinated by Soviet да-think.
There is something you are all not understanding,these Russians who today are migrating to neighbouring States are tomorrow's separatists.
I don't like russians, their culture off life, influence they spread, second language I hate, the history they done.
Ofcourse depends by personality. some were welcoming.
Lot's of other EU country business also here, that's why they send soldiers to protect from aggresor.
Yes, many russians are far-right or far-left even if they don't show this. They will literally destabilize countries from inside
Yes, as Lithuanian myself I can confirm, you described the situation very well. The Russian minority in our country do not show willingness to integrate, they relay on russian propaganda TV and radio and always complain how discriminated they are because nobody hare speaks russian to them.
It's estimated that around 50 000 Russians, mainly in IT sector, have moved to Armenia in March alone. If you walk around the streets of downtown Yerevan every third face is Slavic. Armenia has also opened it's arms for fleeing Belarusians and Ukrainians as well. They're all welcomed there. Peace for Armenia. Don't let Putin get them there. 🕊️🇦🇲
Armenia will fall to Turkey and Azerbaijan soon
Armenia is at the point of not having any options but to scream Putin for help because of Kharabak and Azerbajdzan takeover.
Its at point it tied itself so close to Russia that it cant get out.
So - staying in Armenia is likely not going to help...
Armenia about to be nice af
Mandatory military service is not so nice though
It’s unfortunate that Armenia hasn’t received more support from the west in the past.
The problem with Finland specifically is that having a lot of Russians there creates a national security risk. The threat is real that Putin might then go after Finland to "protect" the Russians there. It's a serious problem and the only solution for bordering EU countries is to not accept Russians. For countries which don't share a border with Russia this isn't as much of a probem.
They did the same thing in Georgia and, they're doing it now in Ukraine (partially). I agree with you.
If Finland is able to join NATO, that shouldn't be an issue.
@@dkgong We'll see! The question really is if the US would be serious about defending the Baltics and Finland if Putin decided to send some missiles there. That could lead to world war and nukes and I'm not 100% confident that Biden would be ready to blow up the planet over Finland 😅
@@0freddif0 Biden thinks that Putin invades Russia by the way
@@0freddif0 France and UK can also go nuclear if the US hesitates. I doubt it that Russia would risk its own existence by starting a nuclear war over Finland in NATO. Finland also has cruise missiles and could respond to any conventional cruise missiles from Russia.
10:00 There's though a slight issue with that. Anything that requires security clearance / background check from a state, is likely out of reach from russians. And where are security clearances and background-checks often required? Anything related with security, especially cyber-security.
Where I live, those background-checks are particularly strict, and there's absolutely no way for person just out of Russia to gain any kind of clearance to classified information.
Yeah not keen on Russians it was the Ukrainians we want
Right, it would take time for a new Russian expat to earn the trust that they don't secretly serve the old country, whether by intention or exploitation of any ongoing personal vulnerabilities they couldn't shake off in the escape. This limits their opportunities largely to routine maintenance, open source development, etc where they don't have the powers to hide their activities until they develop that trust over time.
Not all cyber security jobs are with the government. Many corporations have such roles, which don't require security clearance. Cyber security is rather broad, and encompasses more than just pen testing.
@@holycrapchris Security checks and clearances are required for many private sector jobs that aren't even related to cyber.
Here you're likely required to pass background check for jobs in banking, gambling, insurance, utilities, healthcare, security, defence, transportation, etc.
Essentially if the job you're applying has the power to cause significant security or economic threat to either the state or private companies, you're likely required to pass background check by the security intelligence service (similar to CIA in USA).
Well no, they'll not open to Russians, because they're too afraid of Russian spy's, specially for programmers.
But this explains it well, I have always wondered why a young and skillful Russian will remain in Russia and not come for a better pay in EU.
But it isnt true. I mean if you are a spy working for the Russian government you can get into the EU already really easy, cause the Russian government can fake them the best university degrees and than they can get sponsored by by a european company that is controlled by the Russian government and that they set up themself. Thats just one way, there are many more (Fake marriage with a Russian with eurooean passport, ...) But if Russia wants more spies in the West they can easily do that. So we let Spies in but not young Russians who are against the Putin.
Russian spy doesn't have to be russian infact the best russian spies shouldn't be russia duh...
@@archingelus most Russian and Chinese spies caught in the US are students and people there in work visas
@@bmer92k86 i think what you are saying is the kind like christine fang, she is chinese with usa student visa, however she works by sticking her nose on higher places and rely on americans she managed to get along, the impacts are more political, what i have been saying all along is the more dangerous walk-ins and turncoats, like how cia recruit local afghans they weaved directly into society and part of it and these are never be americans ( in my context never been russian or chinese like gregg bersen or dr lieber or robert hanssen)
all those questions were answered in video. Again, don't forget, it is still their home, many have families and relatives there, so it is not simple decision as it looks.
Every country with a stablished Russian minority knows exactly what the apprehension is all about. Ask people in the Baltics how is their relation with ethnic Russians in their territory. In extreme cases you get Transnistria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia and, of course, Donbass and Crimea.
.
I am all for receiving all the Russian human capital. But you HAVE to make sure they won't concentrate themselves in a particular region - or even neighbourhood. They NEED to be well distributed among the native population in order to successfully assimilate themselves.
.
This first generation is fleeing Putin. The next generation, if they grow up in a gueto, they will have fantasies about reuniting themselves with a great Russian motherland, a Great Russian empire, that never was.
""They NEED to be well distributed among the native population in order to successfully assimilate themselves."" That's true of immigrants from any nation that does not share the native language. However, it's probably more true of blue-collar immigrants rather than educated immigrants.
I would like to state that what all mentioned extreme examples have in common is that they all are in countries that either neighbor Russia, are former Soviet republics or, in most cases, are both neighbor of Russia and former Soviet republic. Maybe I'm shortsighted, but I wouldn't worry much about this problem in my home country of Poland, even though we neighbor a Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. At least not until we have poorly integrated Russian minority numbering over a million and concentrated in such a way that there are some considerable regions where 30-40% of population is Russian. So in my opinion Russian minority becoming such a problem in any major European country not neighboring Russia is not likely in short to medium span of time.
@@tadeuszkubera3060 I don't know, man. Every great long term problem start as a neglected shot term issue.
But I agree with you: I don't see this becoming a problem in France, Spain or the UK, for example.
I am not so sure about the likes of Finland, Romania or Poland.
Again, I repeat: western countries MUST provide accommodation to the refugees. This is a moral imperative - and an economic opportunity as we're mostly talking about qualified workers...
I just think that this must be done skilfully - specially in Poland.
Abkhazia and Ossetia aren't populated by Russians, they are their own peoples, they broke away because Georgia took away their autonomous status.
@@evzenvarga9707 and with the help of Russia, Russia is all to happy to create heaps of breakaway states near their border as it makes those states weaker.
Glad that the words - SECURITY ISSUES - are frequently mentioned in the chat - especially when people leave family members behind in a place where they are not secure
It is a security issue.
Yeh, it is so dangerous in Russia, bombs falling from the sky right?
@@sanler2937 If you escape to the west your details and those of your family magically pop up in the police data base - all of a sudden your grandads dog gets shot and left ontop his car. THEY DON'T PLAY NICE
@@PRAR1966 hm, so I voted for a killer, messed up my country, so let me into a new one to mess it up right? Also, we are talking about not allowing them to escape to the west, so problem solved, no?
We need reeducation camps for these people so they can merge with Western sensibility's.
"Oh come on Grant, surely Putin will not rebuild a second Berlin wall?"
"He will, and don't call me Shirley."
U.S.: ah shit, here we go again.
i'm not sure if the best thing for european security is an open door policy to russian hackers
You can hack from anywhere you want. I think companies can decide who to hire for cybersecurity expertise better than the government's can, so government's should let companies decide.
@@-whackd Yes but it is easier.
@@-whackd Yes and no, most of the hacking is impossible without having insider information. Most of "hacking" is not even actual hacking, it's mostly social engineering.
Hiring Russians as cybersecurity specialists in Western countries is possibly the dumbest idea ever. I'm sure that 99% of these specialists are uncompromised folks who pose no risk to Western national security, but do you really think that the Russians won't use this opportunity to plant their operatives among these people, which significantly increases the risks of giving access to strategically significant infrastructure in the West to Russian moles? Moreover, even Ukrainian specialists should be treated with suspicion when it comes to stuff like that. Natives are much harder to turn into foreign spies, so they should always be given preference over foreigners, whatever their country of origin may be, especially if that country is not a close ally or an outright foe.
That being said, the West should absolutely encourage qualified Russians to flee their country and relocate to the West. Just not hire them in strategically sensitive sectors. This would have a twofold benefit - weakening Russia's technological prowess while strengthening that of the West at their expense. There is some amazing human capital among the Russians that can contribute tremendously, and has already done so, just look at Silicon Valley.
Actually most russians fleeing can't stand Putin and just want to move for a better life, integrate, and have zero yearning to return
@@ckleine87 How does what you said contradict what I did, which is that the overwhelming majority of these people are decent folks who fled for legitimate reasons and can only contribute to their host countries. Nor did I say they want to return.
Throw out all Russian diplomats from the West. Problem (at least partially) solved.
There could be a policy of upcycling talent, Russians move into less critical cyber security infrastructure where the damage potential is lower whilst westerners currently working in vestigial areas of cyber security get bumped up into higher roles protecting core infrastructure.
Ever heard of kaspersky?
The potential problem about letting a large diaspora from a foreign country is the possibility of having another Transnistria enclave like in Moldova. India or China do not have this problem since their population is huge to start with.
Was thinking same.
I imagine that no nation that borders Russia would want large number of Russian refugees in fear of Russia declaring "it is protecting Russians" and interfere in their matters.
Especially as they have used that excuse to mess with other nations for a long time.
It is dangerous for Georgia, but Spain seems large and far enough to accept couple of hundred thousand Russians.
@@samuelsilver8077 very true , they did that to Sweden back in the mid 1700s and conquered ingermanland , which today is most famous for the city of st Petersburg, so a very old strategy indeed
@@Felixxxxxxxxx Ya, and currently there are plenty of Russians in countries like Estonia to use that trick again. .
They did this in Ukraine after Holodomor they moved Russians to territories with most deaths from famine: Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia and now they annexed these territories...
Remember Hong Kong professionals and young people. the action of welcoming them is well overdue.
👍
Nope. Different situation. Hong kongers have a very different reality.
Please Explain
My dad always told me that anytime somebody says "believe me" its a good time not to.
I get your point, I really do. But you can't possibly suggest with a straight face that Europe should hire cyber security professionals freshly out from Russia. Call me paranoid, but that is a strong no from me.
Cybersecurity isn't magic. And not all businesses have the same level of sensitivity. You could hire them as junior developers, software testers, or code reviewers for a while without giving them elevated access, depending on what your product is and how your team works. And if that's not an option for you, I'm sure it is an option for at least some European businesses.
@Anna I see you everywhere, whenever someone tells a hard truth about Russia that you don't like you immediately call us all racists lol. If that makes you feel better, ok
@Anna Tell me you're American without saying you're American. Russians are the same race as other Europeans, so where does the race come into play? I swear we need a big firewall around America to protect the world from your stup--idity.
@@MhxanobiosS Ignore that NPC, that is the dumbest thing I've read, as if Russians are a different race. My parents came from Russia, they look like anyone else here does.
The downside is that money may be sent back to family is Russia and lessen the impact of sanctions. Also, places like Georgia getting wealthier can help their resistance of Russia. Then again, having tons of ethnic Russians in your country has proven to be a major liability. Just ask Ukraine.
Young educated Russians are a different breed from the drunk, Putin nutjobs populating the countryside
Unless Russia manages to get specialized manufacturers to reopen, no amount of remittance is going to get companies like NVIDIA to supply chips or other specialized goods to Russia.
The only thing it’ll do is allow them to buy food, although that may cause more short term shortages for people who lack remittance money since people with remittance money can afford to buy out all the stores, worsening shortages for other people.
actually in Ukraine many ethnic russians are against putin and joined Ukrainian army.
@@ac1455 3 days ago I got 2 3060ti as a foreigner living in Russia. I still can have any PC part. You are living the dream 😆😂
Is it even possible to send money to Russia from abroad? With all the banking sanctions and SWIFT being banned I didn’t think it was possible anymore
Here’s another problem for you,in Australia we’ve just experienced massive floods and because of these floods our farmable land has more than doubled creating a huge labour shortage in the agricultural sector. Ukraine is a 70% Agricultural based economy, we need those people and who from Ukraine wouldn’t want to come to Australia.
@Shrimpscape - Kiwi here - good on ya! Very sorry to see the awful damage from those floods.
We too could do with some Ukrainians!
You can also get more people from closer by Asian & Pacific countries like Papua New Guniea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc
@@Lando-kx6so and we do, though not enough. The biggest problem is that we need skilled workers in a range of sectors, but it is almost impossible to validate their education and so these people have to retrain when they get here
Ukrainians prefer Poland and Germany. Australia is too far away and Ukrainian working class people dont speak english
@@Caesar88888 we actually have a small, but vibrant Ukrainian community in New Zealand. I know that there is a Russian and Ukrainian language school in Wellington
Interesting how someone might think that it is a good idea to hire russian hacker to handle cybersecurity somewhere in Europe. What can possibly go wrong here?)
But actually what's wrong? I was born in russia, live here and hate this cursed country throughout my life. To understand you need to know that I'm only a quarter russian other quarters are ukrainian, avarian and lak (two lasts are from north caucasus), so my appearance is far from slavic.
Firstly, the russian empire occupied my ancestors motherland and the reds took everything that they (my ancestors) had managed to build. Secondly, I live in moscow all my life and confronted with xenophobia nearly half of it (I was bullied the whole school time). Everything they don't like will be destroyed, if not physically then at least psychologically.
And there is one another thing. My only brother was killed by the relative of the police officer but the case was hushed up. They had written that he "fell out of the window". He was going to marry...
I'm just a 3D game artist and no Western country needs this type of specialists. But I was trying to save enough money to take some advanced courses abroad and somehow find a job and never return to "the birthplace". But all the plans was fucked.
Родина - уродина, чтоб ей гореть в очищающем пламени.
Whats said in this video is maybe the most important ever said! Please Welcome Russians who had to get out. Be nice to them. They would maintain their communications with friends and relatives from the outside. Please believe me: no one can be bombed to reason. But friends and relatives living abroad can pursuade those trapped inside Russia.
They'll eventually be accepted in, but theyll have to vetted first b3cause among them are some of Putins goons, and those are precisely who you dont want working your cybersecurity. Once duly vetted, corporations will be fighting among themselves for this resource.
I disagree...imagine a Russian govt hacker posing as a brain drain immigrant working at a tech or energy company
Compassion needs to be tempered by reason. Russia has a long history of espionage and sabotage, and it's not strange that its neighbours are apprehensive when it comes to Russian immigration for this reason.
It is a difficult situation, more so than this video would make it seem.,
Every second person in Ukraine has relatives in Russia and it's not helping. It is not possible to persuade one zombied by propaganda.
I mean, long-term sure; anyone fleeing an oppressive regime is welcome in my book. But as someone who lives in Georgia, having 20,000+ Russians flooding in and trying to set up here is just a complete mess. Housing prices are doubling and tripling, which is severely disrupting locals and crowding out other nationalities. And, as far as jobs go, Georgians themselves are having a hard enough time.
I have sympathy for people trying to get out while they can, but small countries like Georgia and Armenia just can't handle the influx. Hopefully they'll just use them as jumping-off points for finding more sustainable situations elsewhere.
once the amount of refugees drops off it should start to stabilise. But it would take time.
nicely said
Are the people coming destitute? Otw if they don’t get full citizenship easily, it could also be a boom. Real estate is often a corrupt & greedy sector tho.
Jobs, seriously? There is a reason why the housing prices are doubling and tripling: it is because most people who are currently fleeing Russia can afford to pay that much, they would not even look at the Georgian labour market. If anything, the influx will create more jobs because someone has to create and handle bank accounts for Russians, manage legal stuff for those who want to start a sole proprietorship, deliver food, drive taxis and so forth. They not just can handle the influx, they can benefit a lot from it: while other countries spend decades trying to become more attractive to professionals, they got thousands of them for free.
You should get financial support from the EU?
Russians leaving these days, not because they don't like putin's regime, but because of economic sanctions. There are those that are against the regime, of course, but what's the share of such? People that are actually against the regime left a long time ago. So there is a risk to get a bunch of chauvinists nearby. That's how I see it. If you are interested you may check what problems Baltic states had with russians
True! I live in Germany and last week hundreds of them organized an anti-ukrainian protests in some german city and had russian flags all over their cars. I even seen a documentary about russian ethnics in Estonia who support Putin's invasion.
As opposed to those very cultured middle easterners that Germany welcomed with open arms? GIve me a break, sick of multiculturalists.

How can Europe make sure those cyber security specialists are not Russian spies ? It is a perfect job for a Russian spy 🤣
and then you can get a salary from both sides
As other commentators has pointed out, large amount of russain migrants tend to raise questions about their loyalty to Putins regime and backround checks are difficult. And russophobia is a real thing too. I was in student party couple years ago and a noisy russian group came in. They were fun to talk to and no one told them to leave, but there was still some tensions especially about what news sources we used vs what they used.
that is not russiphobia? it's just a disagreement
Well, there's Russophobia and then there's Russians skipping the opportunity to make a good impression. If they come in spouting Putin's Russian-Supremacy shit amongst non-Russians, that's their failure to read the room.
@@MrSanktjakob these days russophobia tends to be 1. You don’t agree with the war, 2. You think that a visitor should respect the local culture etc . There are genuine cases of russophobia too, but they are far less than the other ones I mentioned.
There is nothing wrong with russophobia especially when Russia is at war with the West. The problem with Russia must be solved once and for all and the solution doesn't include 'loving Russians'.
@@jasc4364 I don’t think we should hate Russians just for being Russian. They did nothing wrong by being Russian, but if they support Putin and this war, it’s another matter.
Hire them, and allow them to stay. The US allowed Russia migration and one became the co founder of Google.
Finally! I was thinking who would be the first channel to touch the point.
Nice on VP!
20 years ago I tried to migrate to EU, too much red tape. USA was a lot more accepting, thus now I live in sunny Florida and pay a lot less taxes than any place in the EU.
Also in EU there is racism so US is a lot better
Lithuania is accepting Russian migrants and me as a Recruiter at a global IT company already received quite a few applications from Russian developers. What our government is doing is allowing Russian talents to come here and the taxes that they will pay will be transferred to Ukrainian government. Seems like a win-win situation, I don't mind that since our population has been shrinking over the years.
Good luck becoming the next target for Putin or Russia in the next decades. Andif you really considering taking them for IT job, oyu must be insane
I don’t think is a good idea to accept migrants for economic reason, specifically coming from Russia propaganda magine
What sort of developers are you seeking?
I agree with most things you said in the video but also there is an issue with the ability of the Russian state to increase Russian minorities in the neighboring countries. And that might not be a bad thing but there are reasons why some baltic countries don't let the Russian immigrants vote even after they have lived there for years. It is also important to remember that the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict included an "election " about Crimea voluntarily joining Russia so the countries, especially Russia's immediate neighbors need to be careful with letting people in. I guess the issue is that if it's too easy to come Russia might exploit it, but as I said before I do agree that beneficial workers should be allowed easier entry.
Their scientists, programmers, engineers, skilled trades people and 10/10 bombshell models can come to my country then, Canada.
Keep in mind, they people who want to leave are the type least likely to agree with Putin.
Vast majority of those are not opposing regime, they are getting where McDonalds is not closed and where Instagram is not banned.
Talent ? Its cheap labor force thats what Europe always want.
This is such a onedimensional approach. Many European countries, like the Netherlands for instance, are extremely overcrowded already. Young people have a lot of problems finding a home. Actually moving out of your parents home is a very big obstacle. This is mainly because of our leftwing policies. For instance we accepted wave after wave of migrants from Non-Euro countries that had to compete with native Dutch people, putting a strain on both healthcare, resources and housing. But, also tech workers from abroad (both from outside the EU as well as inside the EU) are becoming a bigger and bigger problem, as they get paid way more than average Dutch people and bring an already heated housing market into overdrive. It is no exception to see adults in their mid 30’s living at home with their parents - even when they get paid a good amount.
I see you only look at things from a narrow perspective of so called economic growth. Have you ever thought about the cultural changes that take place when loads of people start inhabiting your own homeland? It’s absolutely not all roses and fairytales, otherwise everyone would be doing this. Tax income? Please. Multiculturalism is mainly a big societal cost, in money spent on governmental programs, crime, resources etc. etc.
Luckily most people are coming to terms with social liberal policies as laid out in this video. We should embrace diversity, not by making one big melting pot, but by celebrating our differences in our own homelands, own cultures and history.
Yes don't accept anyone I'm serious pet Russia starve and die they should fight for there country
We’ve got a Geert Wilders fan here
Lmao, really? A Dutch, by definition someone piggy-backing on the shoulders of the bigger EU economies, is complaining because poorer people are now piggybacking on your country’s shoulders? Poorer people that, ça va sans dire, very often come from countries whose wellbeing and stability had been disrupted by the colonial times where your country had a very significant role. You should be glad we still allow you in the union, we’d be much better-off without your parasitic economy. I hope that a “Nexit” will come asap.
I would say that whole Europe should cut most fo the red tape for residential housing projects, single family houses included. Maybe more in style of English terraced houses than american detached houses, but still houses, not small flats. Lack of new development and focus mainly on investment properties is the problem. I would say.
Yet Dutch government gives you a home if you're from Afghanistan and gay, but a Dutch family can't get a home, go figure.
It's not even competition, it's just leeching.
Europeans are sick of these dumb policies made by western Europe that threaten the very existence of EU, they feed us this rubbish in the news like Orban is the threat, sure it is, it's not that French population will soon get replaced by Africans and middle easterners. Western Europe is lost.
They talk about multiculturalism but they want to dictate Polish and Hungarian culture, hypocrites. This is why Eastern and Southern Europe is increasingly against Western Europe. At this point I'd support monarchists just to get rid of socialists and globalists. I like my country as it is, low crime rates, kids can play out safe even without parents looking over them.
As Russian, i wish Europe or US/Canada will help to people who disagree with Russian goverment
Just make sure the countries they flee to aren't too close to the russian border
It doesn't matter where they go, they bring their problems with. Haven't you heard about anti Ukrainians protests in Germany by hundreds of Russians?
I am not convinced at all. In my job IT, there is no shortage of at least fairly good candidates, but accordingly to the management there is a shortage of cheap people. I have seen the IT jobs being more and more threatened by people from India and the eastern European countries. IT immigrants are not welcomed at least not by the current IT workers. For other jobs, I don't know.
But there is a huge shortage of people for much less shinny jobs like: farm hands, construction workers, and pizza boys... all low paid jobs, uninteresting and hard.
The best protest is to leave a country you disagree with
Stop paying taxes
Stop working
Stop spending money
That’s why I think countries should fast track Russian immigrants
No thanks
Anti Russian xenophobia isn’t helping, the smartest most talented usually don’t fall for propaganda we should let them leave and build business in democratic countries while leaving Russia behind

What's the logic of getting more people from outside while they are trying to depopulating while replacing workers by robots.
Autocratic regimes don't like educated critics. They rather do without them and have a society of less educated people who are more obedient.
Definitely. The free thinking well educated population is Russia is a legit threat to Putin's power
I'm in the "no" camp, this will inevitably open the border to people from places like Chechnya.
There have been Russian emigres in the UK and France since forever. There have been refugees from Russian Czarist pogroms in the US, whole Russian Jewish communities have existed in New York City since Czarist times. Notoriously anti-immigrant American right wingers will gladly accept Russian refugees because they are white and Christian. If Jewish, they are welcomed by Jewish communities in the US and Israel. The problems they have may be getting to those places, or connecting with the communities that will welcome them.
Russians should just enter, 'lose' their passport and say they are Ukrainian. Who will know? Just say you're from Donbass and speak mostly Russian. You'll get a lot less harassment that way too.

Sorry, but I know more Uni educated Russians living in the West who are not willing to live in Russia, but say that Putin is good for the country, than those who admit that Russia is an imperialist power and did many ugly things (even Navalny said that he would not return Crimea). And I do not think we should trust that kind of talent. It will easily become a 5th column. Because, even though they might be anti-Putin, it does not mean they are anti-Russian Imperium. That shit has deep roots in the Moscowite psyche.
So you judge them solely on the fact they have an opinion about putin? As far as i can see, as many russians are not excited to see putin actually did invade ukraine, putin WAS good for the country because he manage to consolidate power meaning stability for the country, this is the likely context they are having that opinion
@@archingelus Not only that... the majority failed to condemn the invasion of Georgia as well as that of Ukraine (even my former student, and that is a very intelligent guy)... often hiding behind the shittiest argument that they are not interested in politics.

@@archingelus "Who simply lived on the land..." Like it or not we all citizens, and all citizens have rights and responsibilities, according to their constitution: source of the power in their country is their citizens, so they are responsible for all what elected person have done, because they delegate to him their rights (or majority of the country), in this case all of them should have consequences for what they do, and what they don't.
Most Russians who are leaving right now are those who disagree with the current regime. Most of them are upper middle class and have resources and are on a younger end of the spectrum. Those are not the people we in Europe should hate or be wary off to the extent we currently are. I recommend everyone to at least give them a chance and treat them as fellow human beings and not as enemies.
Most. Repeat that word a few times and think of the implications. Just like with MOST migrants from middle east, I'm sure most of them just wanted to get away from their mudholes, but then again, look how much terrorism happened in Europe because of those who didn't fall within the MOST category.
My parents came from Russia, it's not Rusophobia, it's just a rational concern.
@@ararune3734 The Syrian refugee Crisis was not dealt properly, so Europe has learned a hard lesson on who gets in or not.
It was also because of the naive attitude from EU officials like Angela Merkel that allowed this to happen.
As for Russians wanting to seek asylum in EU countries is simply not allowed or possible due to sanctions and potential loopholes the oligarchs can use to access EU countries.
But if EU can make special regulations to allow Russian asylum seekers in to EU countries then it will be done case by case basis to prevent loopholes from happening.
@@Zoza15 The proper way to deal with it was to shut the borders. If Germany wanted them, they should've sent boats, planes or both instead of making them wreck southern European infrastructure. What sort of policy is that my man? "Refugees welcome", well then send boats.
Angela Merkel is exactly who we blame.
Silly excuse for not letting Russians in, it's well known who's an oligarch and who isn't.
Case by case basis should always be the norm, not just now. It should've been the case when "Syrians" were flooding Europe. BTW most of them weren't even Syrian, but none of them were refugees, all of them were migrants. A refugee doesn't get to choose "I wanna go to Germany", a refugee seeks shelter in the first country that will have them.

Germany like any other EU nations have learned the hard lesson check on these people before you let them in.

My take is simply to check on people before you let them in regarding of the labels we use to allow them access..
The last thing i want is a unidentified buff guy with military training waiting for people to pick him up somewhere in Paris..

No they shouldn't. After 100 Years of Constant danger I don't want a single one of them in my country
I couldn’t agree more. Russians are a recurring danger. We must fight them by all possible means with the obvious exception of nuclear war.
U.S. can take some more ex Soviets, not the first time the U.S. took them.
The USA, EU, and Canzuk also need to accept these russian refugees. Especially The USA should denied central American,haitian,jamaican, other less useful migrants and just accept russians and whites into country
The US is taking in russians, just silently
Currently US doesnt whant even Ukrainians. However there is some hope for some changes in the near future change, but gor now 🤷🏻♂️
As far as I can say the border closing has already started, so far limited to people somehow related to the IT sector. At least in some russian podcasts it has been discussed as if already in effect. Even if it is not the case yet, it is likely to be matter of days, not weeks. Anyway, for those still in Russia and able to leave, do so now. It does not matter it is hard to accomodate and there are various restrictions in place. It is a shortlived state, soon to be lifted out of necessity. Realistically nobody is going to be repatriated to Russia once in Europe and any english speaking IT guy is likely to get a job in one way or another.
No, I don’t go anywhere. The potential problems are too high. Nothing is clear, no easy work permission, high taxes, no social bonds and so on…
I understand the problems which I’ll have to face in Russia. But… economic sanctions provoke not only economic fail (in short run term, of cause) but also as economical system will begin its restructuring it provides different career opportunities. I’ll try to take a chance)
Unlike sanctions, a brain drain is a long-term punishment for Russia. It damages their current and future economic prospects.
It also has the unfortunate consequence of reducing the numbers of a class of people who are highly opposed to Putin, making his rain more secure. Of course, if you were to close the borders, he would have the worst of both the worlds with thousands fleeing and those remaining being far more hostile to him.
No tahnks, iam from former Warsaw Pact nation - we dont want them here, soon the bad will be over and they will return to flying Russian flag, praise current dictator and say how Russia is the best, you know how it continues right?

@Anna If they dont have Russian nationality than this topic is not exactly about them right? I get what you try to say, but you cant make rules around sentiments and feelings, it needs to be something measurable and we are at point that we need clear rule for everybody. If you were “forced“ or not is sadly invalid, there are many people in Russia that think of us as lesser people and want to wipe us out (their words).

The United States should give greencards to all Russians with STEM degrees. Russia has hypersonic missiles the US tests so far all failed. I'm sure the engineers who created them would easily find jobs at Boeing or Lockheed Martin if given a safe chance to leave. Same goes for any other professional. I can see why neighboring countries don't want massive amounts of Russians though.
It's still possible to get a working permit for switzerland for russians. The country is very good for braindraining with the best salaries in europe. For IT engineers, just find a company, get the position (easy considering the labor shortage) and come get your 6 figures.

On paper it sounds great to take in a lot of immigrants from Russia (highly educated, mostly a Christian nation with a lot of cultural ties to Europe, so immigration/assimilation wouldn't be much of a problem), and companies would like it as it pushes down the cost of labor. But there are a lot of people right now fearing for the consequences of the shortages and the rising inflation. Expenses are going up for everybody, fuel doubled almost doubled in price since last year, chip shortages has meant delay on deliveries of vital parts for the industries and the agricultural sectors. People are accepting the refugees from Ukraine, due to a genuine need, while Russian people do not have the same excuse.
There has been a large rise in the far right all over the continent after the 2015 immigrant crisis, where a lot of fortune seekers were mingled in with genuine refugees, and the phenomena of asylum shopping entered the public consciousness. People in Europe are generally very hospitable, but that hospitability can not be misused without consequences, this was what the far right was able to convince most of the populations in Europe what was happening back then. Resulting in the center adopting the far right immigration policies to stay in power (even Sweden). Any hint of loosening these could see a new rise of the far right, as trust in politicians only has gone downhill since then.
The countries on the European continent are mostly democracies, and there is a lot of factors to consider. On the short term letting in immigrants will not benefit the countries. Most election periods aren't more than 4 to 5 years, and come with a heavy drop in popularity, especially under the current uncertainties. Remember that EU has not been very good with that ethnic harmony thing, the after effects of the last multi-ethnic empire to collapse here (Austria-Hungary) still have some remnant hostilities to this day (with a few genocides in between), Ukraine itself does suffer from the same affliction with a large amount of ethnic Russians, causing the Russian federation to make their "Sudetenland" claims a thing they have been very fond of claiming with Transnistia (Moldova), Abkhazia - South Ossetia (Georgia), and so on. Issue is that many Eastern European nations do have some Russian minority, and adding to that could result in Russia having let's say a memory of it's "Soviet glory". And when we talk countries in that danger zone, it is also countries like Finland, Denmark and Norway.

Im an MD and Regardless of sides I always believe in every human is different thus impartial in my own company. (Hypothetical here as I don’t own a tech firm) But with what’s going on I wouldn’t hire a Russian if I had big contracts with all the hacking and meddling. I know each Person isn’t the government but you can’t trust them. KGB or whatever they call themselves these days. Not worth putting my company or them under scrutiny
The Russian Hackers could be useful from a intelligence perspective, especially if they somehow manage to smuggle out incriminating data - while that would be difficult to get past security checks, a good Hacker has ways, even by not carrying it and instead using cloud server storage accessed by vpn.
However there's one thing to be noted here is that the ordinary Russians who are already suffering are getting the message that "It's true, the west hates each and every Russian". That's the message which they would have got by now (especially the people who are going to every embassy begging for their Visa to be processed). You can imagine their frustration and it would not take long for the message to spread.
The idea of accepting Russians only works if you view it through a neoliberal lens where everyone just is supposed to get along with each other.
Well, there is a number of reasons why it wouldn't work out so much.
First, Russians leaving their country will compete with Ukrainians for jobs - while they won't compete for totally same ones, there still will be significant overlap. You can probably imagine the animosity this will generate. In a scenario Ukraine actually loses the war, this gets even more pronounced.
The second is - that you can't really "proofread" these Russians on account of potential malicious acting. This explains the bureaucratic cowardice of Europe when handling asylum seekers from Russia - which has actually already happened with political immigrants from Russia before - particularly with Chechens, in a lot of places they weren't truly accepted on the basis of lingering islamophobia and even now there are issues with their treatment.
You can add extra spice here with those little shows some Russians abroad are staging - demonstrations demanding Germany do not accept Ukrainian refugees, events in the US supporting Putin. And of course, the online Z-posting. They are, admittedly, a small minority among immigrants, but their actions carry considerable weight.
Lastly, "punishing regular Russians for their inaction" is an implicit demand of the Ukrainian government and the wider public (irrational as it may seem), therefore Western governments are on thin political ice if they decide to open admissions to Russian citizens. Ukrainian diplomatic game and informational warfare lately have been practically on par with the fierceness of their resistance. This is a precise kind of flak some governments do not need to and do not want to take right now.
I have some neighbors that are pro-Putin. I used to love them but now I wish they could be deported. They don't like my country, they don't like principles of freedom, they don't like my culture, they don't like me. They never did. Their interests were purely financial. This is not a criticism of Russians who do want freedom and human rights. Like Ushanka.
@@MultiKm1 Dude, what are you talking about? You "loved" your neighbours and now you discovered that they didn't like you? Are you sure about what you are saying? You even want them deported, seriously?
If that's true then you are quite naïve... It seems like YOU are the problem and not your neighbours - you turned on them like someone that votes the Democrats in the US would to someone that votes the Republicans.
Plus you go on a rant about how they just want money, don't care about freedom and don't like your country... Are you just lashing out at them because they are pro-Putin? This is really what it looks like...
The other rant about their culture having an ingrained sense of superiority is just BS and Russophobic.
@@mabeSc If they support Putin and everything he does, yes it stems from their superiority and hatred of everyone else. Putin claims that my country is evil and every true Russian should hate it. Why should I endorse believers? Why wouldn't I take it personally that they think my country is on borrowed time and one day I'll be speaking Russian? It's not at all like Republicans vs Democrats. If they think my culture is inferior trash then yeah, they're not making themselves popular, are they? You can't support a supremacist ideology and expect to be popular with the very people you perceive as underlings. I'm not asking to be superior to them. I just don't think I'm beneath them. Simple, really.
@@MultiKm1 You do realise that older people in Russia support him just because they don't know any better, right?
So if they are some Russian immigrants in their 40s you can probably realise that they do not hate you or have that view. Go and ask them face to face, do you hate me or us (whichever country you're from)?
@@mabeSc That doesn't explain the number of expats my age who can see what's going on but STILL support the invasion because Glory! And Winning! Putin is a CHAD!

My sympathy wears thin when people know damn well what's going on but too tribal to do the right thing.
As much i completely agree with the opinion that we in the EU will benefit from people. The issue will always be 1 and only 1.
Where do you put people that need help?
In social housing because they cannot afford much better yet.
Where do you put social housing?
For the Majority of Western Capitalistic governments, the answer is "Not in my back yard".
As long as government cannot and will not integrate immigrants into housing, then they will be seen as ghetto areas and never fully integrate.
Unless each area has both rich and poor people, then the poor will never integrate and in this case the poor being the refugees, but the same can be said about the majority of nationalistic issues. There is no political will in many countries to take immigrants.
Freedom of movement should be fundamental. Without it, most other "freedoms" ring hollow. I strongly agree that Europe - and others - should welcome Russians leaving Russia as well as others choosing to leave their homes. I can understand some concerns with rapid influxes of people, but the inability to accommodate seems a weakness in the economy (and I do not accept this as the way to deal with aging).

They are able share what they have experienced not just back home to Russian relatives or friends but also to educate the west of what it is like in Russia. It has never been more evident to me that the west as a whole take so much of their basic freedoms for granted. They fail to understand what it feels like when your own thoughts, your own voice, your own family can be used by the state against you. There are still a lot of the world that has never truly tasted what freedom is. If we do not stand up for those who believe in democracy then we will have failed in the very principles of our ideological order.

So the EU is in Cold War 2.0 with Russia, and you recommend that the EU should hire thousands of Russian IT workers (and get this - with an emphasis on cyber security types) to work on and get insider access to stuff that could enable massive coordinated hacking and sabotage?

They choose to remain quiet and comply with the evil that is being undertaken.
Because of this, Russia must remain isolated. Ultimately the people are responsible for the acts of their Government.
I know, because that was my first position too. But its two alternatives: either bomb a country to submission or not. If the oposition can retaliate by distroy the globe like 1300 times over then its time to look for alternatives
