In Texas, I ran into a recent Russian emigrant/asylum seeker who said he had to leave Russia because the corruption and personal security issues were too much and presently unfixable. Since arriving here, he has already hustled semi-seasonal work to reach over $100k/year in independent commercial transportation services. We spoke mostly by using the Google Translate conversation app as he's still struggling to learn English, which is a very difficult language.
