Russia faces ‘brain drain’ as thousands flee abroad since start of war with Ukraine – BBC News
According to one estimate by a Russian economist, as many as 200,000 Russians have left their country since the start of the war in Ukraine, with more than 25,000 alone arriving in Georgia since Russia’s invasion began.
The exodus does not stop there. The EU, US, UK and Canada have closed their airspace to Russian flights, so they are heading for countries where flights are still permitted and where visas are not required, such as Turkey, Central Asia and the South Caucasus. Many have fled to Armenia.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

That sign is not finished, the one stating ‘Putin is Hitler’ HE’S RIGHT! But the sign should state thus: ‘Putin is Hitler’s REINCARNATION!’ I sincere through logic have come to the conclusion that as there IS a 7 year gap after Hitler’s death in 1945, and before V. Putin’s birth in 1952 that yes, indeed from a metaphysical perspective one inherits in previous lives or incarnations talents.
And this bad soul who incarnated as Adolf Hitler then went to the ‘bardo’ between lives, as is taught ins Vajrayana Buddhist Dharma for a 7 year period between this bad soul's life or incarnation, and then reincarnated currently as another male, now as Владимир Владимирович Путин (Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin) and has quite obviously retained this soul’s perverse '‘talent’ for genocide and WAR!

All the young connected people in this world want is more freedoms more opportunities and better paying jobs, he's the same as Sergey Brin, when the Soviet Union went bankrupt Russian wealth should have been divided up amongst the people that fought for the country not a handful of oilgarchs the country is 3 times the size of the US and the median income is less than 11,000 a year, that's pathetic, they need real socialism, a higher minimum wage a large middle class and proper wealth distribution, and the US needs it too, just not on the same level,

The numbers are now around 350-400 thousand who have left since the war started. But the Moscow Times says 5.5 million have left since 2020 and calls into question Russian population counts. And Russian figures include Crimea and the Donbas (which I thought were "independent people's republics" – LOL)

The U.S. is now talking about capitalizing on the situation by offering these people with skills that are very valuable to the country visas. I expect a lot of other western nations to follow. Very similar to WWII when nations began siphoning away talented individuals from Germany’s pool of intellectuals.

ZERO offense intended, im actually curious:
How come their protest signs are written in English? I know English and French are probably the closest to an an internationally official language. But I would've thought they would use Ukrainian, Russian or Georgian (if that language exists). Is English widely used in Georgia, or do they want to make sure as many people as possible are able to read their signs?
(Like I said zero offense intended. I am genuinely sorry if my post sounds disrespectful. I'd be happy to make any changes, to remove offensive wording. I am genuinely trying to learn)

Russia has been living in the conditions of your so-called "brain drain" for more than 50 years and this does not affect the power of our science. I hope our hypersonic missiles convince you of this (we have them, but not even in the USA).
The fact that we calmly tolerate this phenomenon speaks of the inferiority of Western education, which, even with the influx of our brains, cannot reach our level of technological development. And also about the good level of our education, which was created back in the USSR
