And things like this make the educated and ambitious young move abroad. Good for the economies of Western Europe but not so good for Russia.

- amai 8y agoNo, Russians do love their country very much. Just their government doesn't love them back.
- gdy 8y agoAww, that's so romantic :)
- kikimora 8y agoAs a software developer you can get salary in range of $3000 - $5000 per month on the top level. You can make even more if you are good and work remotely/contracting. With this salary moving to Europe won't give you a rise, you are likely to make less in most EU countries. Moving to US will give you a rise in salary but not radical. People I know moving to EU/US not because of money, they move because of health care, education, crime, corruption and perceived lack of a better future.

My colleagues working in SV and particularly at Google would disagree. >they move because of health care, education, crime, corruption and perceived lack of a better future Okey, replace salary with quality of life. I doubt that intangible political motives alone would've been enough.
