  1. Russia’s emigration is different from the rest of Europe,in the sense that most of those who leave are middle class

    Romania,Turkey,Poland,Bulgaria have seen emigration overwhelmingly from the poorer areas of their countries

    Russia also lost some significant minorities which were better off than the average population

    * 2-3 million Russians with German ancestry who left after the 1990s
    * 2 million Jewish Russians( the process of emigration was called Aliyah);

    some recent Russian emigrants,or their children ,include

    * co-founder of Google,Sergey Brin
    * co-founder of Ethereum,Vitalik Buterin
    * co-founders of online bank Revolut, Nikolay Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko
