Russian Emigration

Russian emigration refers to the movement of people from Russia to other countries, often driven by political, social, or economic factors. Historical waves include the mass exodus after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, when many fled oppression, and more recent migrations related to political dissent, economic hardship, or seeking opportunities abroad. In recent years, many Russians, especially younger professionals, have relocated due to tightening political regimes or to find better living conditions and job prospects. This emigration reflects broader societal issues and has contributed to significant Russian diaspora communities around the world.
