Would you care to explain why you feel like that? Since you are an inhabitant of this planet, your thoughts and actions affect us all. If you hate a country so much we ought to know at least why.

Of course. Among many, many things, why I think that there should be far fewer Russians in this world, I remember one situation, that I still vividly and unpleasantly see from time to time. It was in the middle of the night during one of many air, rocket, and shelling attacks. There was a sound and a feeling of rocket strikes, then the air alert signal went off. And I had to run with the child in my arms to the basem…

Thank you for the explanation. From that I would infer you wish there be less people from every country that has done the same as Russia. Would that be correct? Do you wish, for example, that there be less Americans, French, Germans, Italians, and Japanese? Also, have you thought of ways how our society could implement your recommendation and reduce the number of people from these countries? Would you suggest a quota of mass extermination for each country, perhaps to be agreed by an international panel? How about the logistics of that? Perhaps something like the Nazi camps with incinerators? I’m genuinely curious about your desires because, as a fellow citizen, your wishes and desires affect us all.

Can you share what freedoms are not available to young professionals like you in Russia that are available in other countries?

If we open Human Right Declaration, Articles 2, 6, 7, 10, 18, 19, 20, 21, 26 at least are not available to anyone in Russia, including young professionals.

You forgot to mention amortization of IP costs and net value intangibles. Basically, you have all the same rights like in all other countries. Plus an itch to complain about Russia. When you are done, check the list of countries with the death penalty and intercession rates, for a meaningful view of what truly affects everyday life.

As a russian dev who actually stayed in Russia I find it both hilarious and sad that this horrible piece of propaganda found a way to MIT Tech Review. Firstly, how many IT workers fled the country is an interesting question with no definite answer. We have some figures from "ministry of IT" which Masha linked. She conveniently forgot to add that 80% of IT workers who left actually continued to work for Russia. Admitt…

Well, if you did not understand it before, in the non autocratic western world some (many?) people simply get their lips sealed so tight, they cannot physically (well, more or less) utter a word. In return, though, you get to live under democracy.

Mocking victims of genocide for hating the people who came to kill them. Stay classy.
