Russians are increasingly flocking to visa-free Serbia: “An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 Russians have moved to Serbia since the end of February. And more than 1,000 companies whose owners have Russian passports have registered with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia…”

Serbia is just Russia with napoleonic complex. They are equal ideologically
And this is the reason there is an increase in racism and aggressiveness in Serbia
True, there are many Russians, Belarus and Ukranians recently. Most of Russians who come to Serbia oppose Putin and Russian government but because of the danger at home choose to come here because they won’t be persecuted. Recently they join Ukranians in anti-War protests.

Most people who come here are educated people, usually work in IT. Some of them have received threats and decided to leave for Serbia with their families.
I think it is a good thing, Russia, or Putin to be exact, are loosing the more educated high earning part of population, they don’t get to collect money from taxes and have less available recruits.
Most of them, from what I’ve seen, are amazed by the diversity of opinions and news we have here in Serbia (because he have really pro-Nato/Ukranina type of people and also pro-Putin, we also have most of the bigger western media companies like CNN, BBC, VOA, but also RT or Sputnik)
