What Actually Happened to the Anti-War Russians Who Fled After the Ukraine War?

Russia’s anti-war class didn’t vanish. Many fled — and paid for freedom with exile. 👉 What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia:    • What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia   In this episode, Elvira Bary looks at what happened to the Russians who opposed Putin’s war and fled after the invasion of Ukraine. Some left in the first shock of February 2022; others ran during the mobilization panic when the war came for them personally. They scattered across Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Serbia, Europe, Israel, Dubai, Portugal, and the United States — but escape was never simple. This video explores who could leave, who could not, how exile split by class and profession, why freedom often began with lost status, how families broke under the pressure of immigration, and what this new Russian-speaking diaspora may become.
