According to a survey, more than half of young Russians would like to emigrate
research institute has found that more than half—53%—of Russians aged 18 to 24 would like to leave the country, for good.
The figures for the 18 to 24 age group are especially striking because the general sample suggested that overall only a minority—21%—of Russians would like to emigrate: 57% said"definitely not"; a further 20%"probably not."The researchers wrote, though, that their surveys showed a"gradual rise in a mood for emigration among youth aged 18 to 24, continuing from 2014."
While the reasons given did not necessarily include overtly political ones—54% of those wishing to emigrate expressed approval of the work of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin—it is the younger generation that has been most visible atAnd if this is the generation that most wants to leave, it is also the generation that is best equipped to make the move.
