Yes, immigrating to Finland or Ireland is way easier than States (at least if you are in IT). Problem with Ireland right now is bad economy, difficult to find a job, but possible. Finland is much easier. And in both countries you become a citizen after 5-6 years. Oh, and you don't need to know finnish to work in IT here. Also I've heard Sweden and Australia is not that hard either. Canada was quite easy to get into up until few months ago (they removed IT from the needed professions list). Basically, from what I've heard from my fellow Russian friends, States is not that favorable in terms of immigration.
