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
ruble is worth of nothing
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.
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.

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.

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.
