37-year-old Vladimir is one of a number of Russians who took time to get their affairs in order, but are now leaving the country.
A "second wave" of Russians are fleeing President Vladimir Putin's regime as his war in Ukraine rages on.
A 'second wave' of Russians are now formally relocating to countries spanning Europe, the Middle East and Asia after spending time getting their affairs in order.For months now, Vladimir has been preparing paperwork and getting his affairs in order for a move to France. For Vladimir, the decision to leave the country he has called home all his life "was not made in one day." Under President Vladimir Putin's rule, he has watched what he called the "erosion of politics and freedom" in Russia over several years. But the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine was the final straw.The Russian Embassy in London and Russia's Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
"A lot of people got notices saying that they were traitors," said Jeanne Batalova, senior policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, noting the backlash suffered by some Russians — even from neighbors."The way migration works is that once the flow begins and people start finding out how to do things — get a flat, apply for asylum, find a job or start a business — that prompts more people to leave. It becomes a self-fulfilling cycle," Batalova said.
They follow more mobile independent Russia tech workers who have already flocked to low-visa countries including Indonesia, Thailand and Turkey.lawyer "Most of them don't necessarily want to leave Russia, where their home is," he said. "But, on the other hand, they have their clients who buy their IT outsourced products and services who demanded them to leave. Many got letters from clients who said they would terminate their contracts if they did not leave Russia.
