> but if someone does make it to the UK ... we should help them do so. Didn't brexit happen exactly to fight that ?

  Only the less wealthy Russians. Wealthy Russians are generally welcomed, especially if they can make some suitable donations to politicians.

  Brexit happened for many dumb reasons. The current government has been going through a patch of being deeply unpopular and have decided that banging the anti-immigration drum can help shore up their base. So in truth yeah it's unfortunately quite unlikely they'd do much to make it easier to come to the UK, particularly if you're from Russia :-/

  That was about Poles, not Russians.
