    Honestly I think going through Georgia and applying for a visa/asylum in any EU country that somewhat permits it. Once you have permanent residence I believe you can just travel and move freely. Its not easy as many countries have locked down visas for russian nationals. But more so the more the countries closer to Russia.

    If you’re up for giving more than a fair share of your life to work, Canada, Japan or Germany. Mind you, Japan accepts like 1 refugee per year, so the manner of your migration might also affect where you want to try your luck.

    If you want more balance between work life and private life, maybe a Scandinavian country.

    I can only speak from experience regarding Japan and Sweden, where I have lived for many years. Regarding the other countries, I only speak from prejudice/image.

    до свидания 😊 (I can read some Cyrillic and I know basically “hi, my name is…” so don’t get your hopes up 😅)

    Alaska USA has a significant Russian population. Also I doubt ICE is trying to deport people from Alaska because it’s massive, empty, and makes money

      lol yup, this one again. I read the title and knew exactly which user posted it. Answer in a snarky way, she gets upset and insulted. Try to be friendly, she tells you she doesn’t want friends or help.

      Like I said last time, I sympathize with her awful situation. But whining and then yelling at people on lemmy isn’t really productive or helpful. She seems to use her account as a means to vent in general. And thats fine and understandable. But it would be nice if russians would find a way to do that amongst themself or directed at the people responsible for their predicament.

      But alas, its easier to yell at westerners.

        you literally said “I’d be happy to help, but I honestly don’t care😮‍💨” and you got the answer you deserved. and I don’t yell at westerners, I worship them, but not all of them.

          Yeah I said I’d be happy to help you, the individual, if I could, but I cant. And I don’t care that I can’t. Reason being, what russia is doing to Ukraine and Ukrainians.

          Once Ukraine is secured and alright, I’ll see if I have any fucks left to give to russians.

            -I can’t help you and I don’t care

            -I don’t need your help

            “She said she doesn’t need my help, what a whiner🙄”

    Depends on your financial system; are you looking to move to a bordering baltic country? An EU country? Elsewhere? Is Language barrier an issue?

    Estonia, Georgia, Armenia; close options.
    Scandinavia, further but generally stable. Ireland, Iceland; farther out there.

    I don’t know if having Shitter, Spotify, Instagram and WhatsApp is something to be proud of.

    США, конечно. У нас в Сеаттл много русских, часто русский слышано на улицах. Приезжай к нам — будет лучше здесь через несколько лет, уверен.

      Yes, there are Russians here, but “you commonly hear Russian on the streets” is nonsense. Quit your bullshit.

        You’re clearly not listening. It’s a rare day I don’t overhear someone speaking Russian.

        edit: to clarify, I’m not sure if you just hang out in neighborhoods with a smaller group of Russian speakers, or if you have a different sense of what часто means than I do, but I can tell you I would have struggled with homesickness a lot less if I had heard English spoken in Nizhni as often as I hear Russian spoken in Seattle.

            Yeah? I’m a Russian speaker in Seattle, it might just be possible that I’m more frequently in Russian-speaking places in Seattle? And “often overheard” is not a high bar to clear – if you take the bus to lunch and back again, you’ll hear dozens of conversations; even if only a very small portion of them are in Russian, you’ll still hear one most days.
