More than a million people have left Russia since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, most of them young people with high levels of education and scarce occupations. Russian sociologist and publicist Igor Eidman spoke about this on the air of FREEDOM TV.
“More than a million people left Russia for different countries around the world. There are no such clear demographic characteristics. No basic studies have been conducted. But according to various indirect data, we can say that most of these people are young people with a good, high level of education, many of them have scarce professions, mostly programmers, for whom it is easy to find a job in any country in the world now,” he said.

According to the Russian sociologist, this represents a serious risk for the regime of Vladimir Putin. Many of those who have left Russia are men of working age who have escaped mobilization, and this is a severe blow to Russia’s labor resources.
“It weakens Putin’s regime. Its ability to develop, create some new technology and sustain its economy. An emigrant wave is a serious blow to the Putin regime,” said Eidman. According to him, after the presidential elections in March, the Kremlin will announce a new large-scale mobilization, which will cause a new and greater outflow of young people from outside Russia.
“In 2022, in the fall, when the first wave was, maybe it was still not very clear where all this was going, and people had some illusions that they would be sitting somewhere as clerks. Now there is a huge amount of information about the victims, a huge number of disabled people moving around the country and people already know all this. And even the most stupid Russian will already understand that he should probably run away, because otherwise the probability of being killed will be high,” said Eidman.
“Of course, a huge number of people, like a herd, will go to these military services and be sent to slaughter. But the most advanced people – the advanced people among the educated, will try to escape,” said Igor Eidman. He is convinced that as long as the war continues and as long as Putin is in power, the Russians will leave and the Russian Federation will be deprived of its future.
Russia gives a huge number of victims on the front in Ukraine. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, more than 397,000 Russians have died at the front. These figures have not been independently confirmed, but according to Western sources, hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers were killed or wounded.
