The real question are what countries are not heading the same direction as russia.
Most of them.
You got the real question, and then gave a fake answer?
It is not fake, it just doesn't fit the propaganda you've heard.
not really related to the question, but wtf is that image? also isn't telegram russian?
Telegram and durov was expelled and banned from russia, now he lives in dubai.
He made Vk too and its sold to russian
TIL.
lot of people say it's a russian spyware, which doesn't make much sense then..
It's still spyware though. Content is non-encrypted by default and in case of channels can't be encrypted anyway.
The security is dubious, and Durov is not exactly an exile: he travels to Russia regularly, and Telegram have had (and might still have) development offices there, suggesting some kind of accommodation with the authorities there.
Guess it's UAE spyware now.
Pssssst.
no one "owns" XMPP.
I believe the founder was originally Russian but moved to BVI and UAE since the 90s.
This again.
lol yup, this one again. I read the title and knew exactly which user posted it. Answer in a snarky way, she gets upset and insulted. Try to be friendly, she tells you she doesn't want friends or help.
Like I said last time, I sympathize with her awful situation. But whining and then yelling at people on lemmy isn't really productive or helpful. She seems to use her account as a means to vent in general. And thats fine and understandable. But it would be nice if russians would find a way to do that amongst themself or directed at the people responsible for their predicament.
But alas, its easier to yell at westerners.
I confirm that was exactly my experience interacting with the OP.
lmao weren't you the one downvoting all my comments from different accounts?
It's funny that all these people who accuse me of something end up being weird as shit.
Alaska USA has a significant Russian population. Also I doubt ICE is trying to deport people from Alaska because it’s massive, empty, and makes money
Honestly I think going through Georgia and applying for a visa/asylum in any EU country that somewhat permits it. Once you have permanent residence I believe you can just travel and move freely. Its not easy as many countries have locked down visas for russian nationals. But more so the more the countries closer to Russia.
Almost anywhere in Europe or the Commonwealth would be good if you value liberties.
I would say canada or Scandinavian places rich and similar climate
If you're up for giving more than a fair share of your life to work, Canada, Japan or Germany. Mind you, Japan accepts like 1 refugee per year, so the manner of your migration might also affect where you want to try your luck.
If you want more balance between work life and private life, maybe a Scandinavian country.
I can only speak from experience regarding Japan and Sweden, where I have lived for many years. Regarding the other countries, I only speak from prejudice/image.
до свидания 😊 (I can read some Cyrillic and I know basically "hi, my name is..." so don't get your hopes up 😅)
Germany
Russians migrating to Germany because of repressions in their country are in for a rude surprise though: Russia Germans our largest Russian-speaking group of citizens, make up a significant part of AFD voters, our new fascist party supported by ... Russia.
Whaaa... :(
bullshit on the AFD support by russia. It's backed by Musk and other yankees.
Shared interests. Weak EU is good for non-EU blocks.
Plus, even the fascists are not homogeneous, with some of them actually believing in patriotism, and others selling out to the highest bidder (like China)
Source on russia having ties to the AfD then??
We know Musk loves to support far-right parties all over the world and has openly supported the AfD so it's not much of a stretch to say that he also financially supports them, but what is there wrt Russia other than "zomg the russians are eveel and hate our '''superior''' society because of how much better we are than them"

Gut, viel davon ist sicher Parterhetorik. Aber so groß ist der ideologische Unterschied zwischen Trump und seinen Silicon-Valley-Milliadären und Putin und seinen Gas-Oligarchen auch nicht.
Abgesehen davon ist die AfD eben auch kein homogener Block. Dass sich manche mit Musk und Maga und andere wieder mit Medwedjew treffen, ist nicht unmöglich.
You're almost there, keep going.
Depends on your financial system; are you looking to move to a bordering baltic country? An EU country? Elsewhere? Is Language barrier an issue?
Estonia, Georgia, Armenia; close options.
Scandinavia, further but generally stable.
Ireland, Iceland; farther out there.
I don't think getting into Estonia legally as a Russian with visa is easy
Depending on your langue skills I would recommend either Moldavia or Japan.
I don't know if having Shitter, Spotify, Instagram and WhatsApp is something to be proud of.
Не знам, я во Франции, всё ок
Нашла конечно где спрашивать 🙈
