The Ones Who Left

 This morning in Germany, N-TV (commercial news) came out with a curious story.

It's been discussed for two weeks now, and their journalists have gotten more info....but it seems that a large segment of Russian IT people have left Russia.

Just in Armenia?  100,000 Russians have resettled in the past month.

Some are worried over the economic spiral....some worry over being drafted.

Some ending up in Georgia and Turkey?  Yeah.

Presently, the number of Russians who left?  Unknown.  For a couple of weeks....the exit to Finland was possible, and I've read personal accounts of Russians who flew into Kazakhstan....looking for a European angle for asylum.  

My gut impression....these are all people who had a better-than-average pay situation, and won't accept a stagnant economy.
