"I thought the government PREVENTED them from leaving?"

The Russian Government tried to staunch the outflow of IT folks, even kicking back many at the airport from boarding flights.

Word got around, and most just reported other kinds of work, or went to other areas, where they were allowed to travel (like the Caucasus), and travelled onward from there.
