Critics of the Kremlin are leaving Russia, as well. They oppose President Vladimir Putin's war of aggression and are suffering the consequences of a clampdown on freedom of expression. Berlin has become a gathering point for Russians who oppose the invasion of Ukraine.
The quote that I will like to dedicate to these democratic thinkers from Russia is:
The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.“
- Marcus Aurelius.
Early in the war, I saw something on Twitter that really disgusted me. A restaurant in Portugal put up a sign "We don't serve you if you are Russian".
These Russians that are fleeing will never be able to return home, their family will suffer consequences, and might lose their jobs (the family members that stay behind).
In some cases, if they are considered a threat to national security they get poisoned as many cases have shown before -> by the criminal FSB.
Just something I try to remember before I start generalizing.
