So in first wave when Russia invaded Ukraine about 50 000 to 70 000 IT specialists left Russia. In this month they are expecting second wave of these specialist to leave Russia.

Putin now has promised taxfree income to those IT people who will stay, "Brains" are leaving Russia as the Companies left Russia too. Many of these companies had international customers and they didn´t want to lose them, they couldn´t operate from Russia anymore.

Is Russia falling into dark ages ? Well Putin woke up that all these people were leaving country, sad attempt to keep them in there for tax benefits as ruble is worth of nothing, it won´t work.



This week, Putin reacted to the exodus of tech professionals by approving legislation to eliminate income taxes between now and 2024 for individuals who work for information technology companies.

Some people in the vast new pool of high-tech exiles say they are in no rush to return home. An elite crowd furnished with European Union visas has relocated to Poland or the Baltic nations of Latvia and Lithuania.

A larger contingent has fallen back on countries where Russians do not need visas: Armenia, Georgia and the former Soviet republics in Central Asia. In normal times, millions of less-skilled laborers emigrate from those economically shaky countries to comparatively more prosperous Russia.

By one estimate, up to 70,000 computer specialists

By whose estimate ?
Where did the data come from ?
Real estimates state where the data came from .
Otherwise , "this estimate is a consensus of all the tiny little voices inside my head"

See , that's how the media fool the gullible and get them onboard the propaganda train .

Don't need propaganda to know how bad things are in general in Russia.

A nuclear super power but in GDP behind countries like Italy lmao.

Still, the combination of a steep ruble depreciation and a higher dollar price for oil will generate an extra 8.5 trillion rubles ($103 billion) in budget revenue this year, according to TS Lombard.

Wow, 103 billion. That’s nothing. Not even being sarcastic. That’s laughable.




The calculus may change completely, however, in case of an embargo on energy sales. And even without it, Russia’s oil exports and output are already falling, with the International Energy Agency predicting it may lose nearly a quarter of its crude production this month.


And then places like India are getting Russian fuel at a discount. According to your source.

Did you just jump at the headline and not read it?

Since oil and gas is 40% of Russias yearly revenue. With this article you’re touting around. They’ll make a whopping….257 billion total this year. Enough to…do not much with in a country the size and population of Russia.

Wonder how much of that would be skimmed too?

You obviously don't understand how GDP or the Russian economy works.

I wish them great success.

Moving to a place where a spiral of hatred for Russians and everything Russian is unfolding is without a doubt a very wise decision.

I mean if Hitlers family was A-OK then I’m sure your average Russian will be. Hell, Hitler nephew was even in the Navy.

No i know many Russians, one is a clerk in local grocery store and he is always very helpful, nice and polite. He works hard and saves money, he bought himself a flat not long ago and helped old Russian Lady when she moved to another apartment. I work as a nurse and have met many Russians, they are people like everyone else but when they are brainwashed to believe only one agenda they will have hard time to adjust in other society than Russia.

The fact that the Nazis are adored in the West is nothing new to me.

Russians are not considered part of the West and therefore they will be treated like American Indians.

I'm telling you about the same thing that Russian IT specialists will not be happy in Western countries.

They’ll be treated better than the Soviets treated the Afghans in the 80s, Russia treated the Chechens in the 2000s, the Georgians in 08, and the Ukrainians now. So don’t worry your little heart.

You are wrong. These people i have met visit Russia time to time but have chosen to live outside of Russia. They have double citizenships and are free to go there and back. Russians i have met are first very reserved but when they get to know you they are very open and chatty too.

You yourself testify to how Russians are treated in your state.

Russians were lied about in the 1980s, in the 2000s, in 2008, and now.

Where do you see a good attitude towards Russians here?
