La patru ani de la primul exod rusesc, ar putea începe unul nou. Ce spune o politologă rusă despre fuga rușilor de Kremlin

The migration of Russians has intensified since 2022, driven by political discontent and fears of military mobilization. Margarita Zavadskaia, a political scientist, highlights the complexity of this migration, noting that those who leave are often socially connected and do not fit neatly into categories. Many migrants remain engaged with Russian news and culture, despite feeling politically exhausted. Zavadskaia argues against the simplistic division of migrants into 'February' and 'September' groups, emphasizing diverse motivations for leaving. While a new wave of migration is anticipated by 2026, challenges such as integration and cultural adaptation persist. Migrants often prefer to stay within Russian-speaking communities, complicating their integration into new societies. Despite recognizing a collective responsibility for the war, many do not feel personally guilty, and there is growing disappointment with Western immigration policies.
