  • After Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a "partial mobilization" in fall 2022, over 300,000 reservists were drafted into the war in Ukraine. A year later, women formed The Way Home initiative to demand that their family members be discharged and sent back home.

    Still you hide behind your government relinquish your personal responsibility. Still you want something but not enough to take a risk. Your men have options, they could surrender, they could call "I want to live". But you are not against the war only against your men dying. You are not interested in politics and become mere vassals which you have accepted as your fate and now you are living with the consequences. You don't understand what Ukraine is fighting for because you don't understand human dignity. If you did you would understand what it means to lose it. You have a lot to learn. No sympathy here.

It seems like the vast majority of people on this Earth want the same things out of life, which is to be safe and happy with the ones that they love and to live in peace. Such a small handful of terrible people that perpetuates the world's suffering.

      Only those who have enough money and those who have not been called up to the army can leave Russia. But finding a permanent place to stay is very difficult. Many countries, mostly the EU and the US, made it difficult for Russians to apply for visas unless they already had family there or were travelling for work. Other countries, including Kazakhstan, changed their laws to stem the flow of Russian immigrants by limiting how many days they can stay as tourists.
