the things have worked in opposite way - the brain drain of 199x slowed by ~2003/5 as economic situation improved until 2014/5 when it started to pickup again. Of course visa issues and potential "iron curtain", etc. will affect it.

I'd imagine there'll be an initial spike in the rate of it, but as sanctions take effect and everyone becomes poorer it will slow as people simply won't be able to afford to leave. Or are they even able to - are there increased visa restrictions yet?
