People who went to Turkey have already returned and there are widespread reports of discrimination of Russian workers in Western countries prompting a lot of them to return, including people who lived for decades.

Based on your posting history, media controlled thinking is less a problem in Russia, compared to the West.

Russians have been there and know what it is, relying on connecting the dots to make conclusions. Not to mention that the Russian media knows it and doesn’t lie as much as yours.

You have admitted of “Reaganesque take” towards Russians, like you win, they lose.

They know it, hence your expectation of the “fall of regime” is stupid.

Some Russians have recently returned home -- but they tend to be associated with the Putin regime and its corrupt network of supporters who obtained residence in Western countries. And yes, they were "discriminated against," often with sanctions and property seizures.

Russia's news media is tightly controlled by the regime and its allies. The means of such control range from ownership restrictions to censorship to the killing of journalists by state agents. As bad as the US and Western news media so often are, they are competitive and enjoy strong legal protections.
