This is sort of a downbeat type of article (below) that goes to a topic that I see more and more articles about: ie. the issue of Russians wanting to return because it is not working out where they went.
Ya know, it is nice to think that you can head out and get asylum in Turkey or the Uk and get a good IT job and all is well. Then you realize your family is elsewhere, there are not many jobs in your field if you speak only Russian, and the locals and other Russians there are wary of you.
And worse yet, the reasons you left Russia are still there and getting worse. El Sucko if you thought you could just hide out for a while and then return when it was over.
It's a bummer for the Russians too to read these articles because many are thinking they need to leave so they want to hear that things are working out for those that left and that is not necessarily the case. Hearing that others are returning and trying to hide in Grannie's attic as Plan B is not well received.
More mobilization coming. It's a bitch if you have to leave, and it's a bitch if you stay.
Unfortunately though many of these Russians are also scumbags whose real concern is that they will be mobilized. If they were not at risk of being mobilized they would not even be concerned with the war in Ukraine and would probably be cheering for Russia. 90% of these fuckers who say they are "against the war" are actually just "against their being mobilized."
What a mess.
