But there's also something to be said about people who are most motivated - running away.
IMO if we sent all the successful people back to Russia we might see some change as they will be the people who can pull off a revolution.
Instead they scattered and most don't even admit Russia is at fault.
Things will have to get a lot worse before russians will rise up. Young people that don't want to be tossed into putin's meatgrinder should be applauded, they make a hard choice and in a very concrete way act to show they will not be used.
