“I bought a one-way ticket”: Inside Russia’s sudden tech exodus

  1. Rest of the World has been doing a lot of good work while maintaining their mission statement. Truly amazing journalism from them.

  2. Should be such a rich country, huge natural resources, lots of intelligent people, such potential.

    Stolen by centuries of corruption and mismanagement.

  3. The Russian educational system collapsed after the cold war and their demographics are terrible. It doesn’t have enough skilled workers to not have to worry about some of them leaving. This exodus is going to hurt them.

  4. At this rate I don’t know if Russia will recover as a country in our lifetime. Not without a Marshall plan type thing which will only happen if they disarm, so unlikely.

  5. Putin thought oil, gas and nukes was Russia’s primary resource. But it was always its youth, and now they’re leaving.
