Haha. For some reason they'd rather stay where they are though. How come Russians still want to escape Russia just like in gulag times? If Russia is so great how come so many people flee gulag Russia for better lives in the west?
1. Your information is outdated. The Russians who left Russia since 1991 maintain their relations with Russia and have quite good attitude towards it;
2. They left Russia because of economic reasons and some returned because they could be better off in Russia;
