I feel the same, but you started this thread suggesting that we "accelerate the brain drain". I don't think that's a good idea, it's going to make ordinary Russians worse off. The immigration policy should not serve as a tool to do that, but rather as a tool to help those who are not happy living in Russia. In practice this would mean, a genius professor of nuclear science, or a dissident coal miner, should be given the same chance to immigrate into the U.S.
