Probably sounds crazy but if you speak English you probably can adjust and thrive here in Argentina. The government is friendly so they won't deny a visa or anything. We have open borders by constitutional mandate so you can even become a citizen after a few years.

In some ways the further from Russia the easier it will be. Countries in Europe feel very close and very connected. Asian countries and even countries like Australia and NZ not so much. AU/NZ are looking on and supporting Ukraine, but they lack the deep involvement. AU/NZ can be a bit of pain visa wise, but there are plenty of IT jobs. You do need to be able to speak English, but in my experience dealing with teams overseas (mostly China), it's not unusual to have to pause a conversation while someone looks up the meaning of the word before continuing. Similarly, there is a large expat population in Thailand, and there are definitely opportunities for tech people. Thailand only has 30 days visa free for Russians, however it's possible to extend the visa for a further 30 days by going and sitting in a government office waiting in line for a few hours. It's also possible to do a border run to reset this (it's not like Europe where it 90 days in 180 days. There are various agencies that can help get longer visas once you're there as well.

  Edit: Sorry for the misinterpreted news below. Regarding Thailand, I would not be so optimistic. There is a report (https://lenta.ru/news/2022/03/05/problemsss/ https://lenta.ru/news/2022/03/05/problemsss/) that Russian bank cards just stopped working in Thailand (Edit: hotels only). So one would somehow need to rely on cash only while searching for the opportunities. Edit: I should have checked the source: https://www.atorus.ru/news/press-centre/new/59021.html https://www.atorus.ru/news/press-centre/new/59021.html which says that Russian cards still work e.g. in shops.
