The number of Russians who have fled Russia since Putin's illegal invasion began is at the very least 817,000. A lot are men of military age – thereby depriving Putin of cannon fodder.

The Economist reports...

Re: Russia, an analysis and policy network, has examined various estimates and available data from countries that have accepted large numbers of Russian émigrés. They found that between 817,000 and 922,000 people have left Russia since February 2022. The largest recipient countries were Kazakhstan and Serbia, each with 150,000 emigrants. But Russians have moved all over the world, including between 30,000 and 40,000 who went to America, according to the estimates.

The word emigrant may not be the best description for all of them. Some might be considered exiles who have left due to some type of opposition to the régime but who would consider returning if the situation in the country improved. They probably shouldn't hold their breath.

The people who have left tend to be moderately well off and well educated. Their absence will hurt Russia's military effort as much as the loss of potential conscripts.

In general, Russia’s wartime émigrés have relatively high levels of income, social capital and education. That is bad news for Russia, both economically and socially. Re: Russia reckons that the wartime emigrants account for roughly 1% of Russia’s workforce, exacerbating an acute labour shortage. The Gaidar Institute, a think-tank in Moscow, said that 35% of manufacturing businesses did not have enough workers in April, the highest figure since 1996. Shortages of specialists are especially severe: according to one Kremlin official, at least 100,000 IT professionals left the country in 2022.

A loss of 100,000 IT professionals is quite a bit in a country of 141,698,900 and shrinking.

In addition to committing multiple war crimes against Ukraine, Putin has done more than any person since 1945 to weaken Russia.

If you happen to be in Russia, get out — while you still can.

Geskel Saloman (April 1, 1821 - 1902) was a Danish-born, Swedish painter and professor at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Art. He was trained at the Danish Royal Academy in Copenhagen, and studied in Paris as well. He had his own drawing school in Gothenburg, which later evolved into Göteborg Konstmuseum, before re-locating to Stockholm. He worked mainly with portrait painting, but also did genre painting, interiors, landscapes and other types of scenery.

I only recently realised what a special photo this is. Of course it's special to me as it contains my great grandma Annie and her mother Klara, among other relatives, but there's more.

It is taken from the very edge of Masthuggskajen, one of the harbors where a total of about 1.3 million Swedes left their homeland to go to America in hope of a better life. I've been told this is a seldom photographed view.

The people in this photo aren't emigrants, but the families of emigrants, the ones who stayed behind. I still haven't been able to figure out who they were there to say goodbye to. I know relatives of these people who emigrated, but they left earlier than this photo could have been taken (around 1910 based on Annie's age), so there's still some research to be done!

This is Annie and her mother Klara to the right. I am so thankful for my great aunt Anne-Maj (Annie's daughter) who wrote down their names on the back.

The Emigrant Irish // Eavan Boland

Like oil lamps, we put them out the back —

of our houses, of our minds. We had lights better than, newer than and then

a time came, this time and now we need them. Their dread, makeshift example:

they would have thrived on our necessities. What they survived we could not even live. By their lights now it is time to imagine how they stood there, what they stood with, that their possessions may become our power: Cardboard. Iron. Their hardships parceled in them. Patience. Fortitude. Long-suffering in the bruise-colored dusk of the New World.

And all the old songs. And nothing to lose.

Emigrussian, a story about emigrants.

Many of those who left Russia after the outbreak of war in Ukraine find it difficult to choose a definition, to pick the word that best describes their identity. Some have no trouble defining themselves, but even among them there is no single term, even if the reasons for emigration are the same. “Refugees” are now refugees from Ukraine, and even those who were threatened by direct violence from…

If people are leaving, I'm gonna shill for Retroshare.

https://retroshare.cc/

Retroshare is a program that has every fundamental kind of social media:

Chat rooms (like discord or Skype)

Blogs (like Tumblr or Twitter)

Forums (like reddit)

With other nice infrastructure:

Email

File sharing

The ability to add any plugin

The program is free, and there is no no authority that can take away your connection to other people. If Tumblr dies, you will lose your blog. If reddit dies, you will lose your posts. Retroshare cannot die.

Why?

Because it is peer-to-peer. There are no servers to talk to, centralized or distributed. Your content gets sent directly to other computers. When you log on, your program asks your friends for updates. They reply back with their info and the info of your mutual, and that's your feed.

The only thing Retroshare needs is people, so if anyone wants to follow me on Retroshare I'll reply with my friend code and anyone can send me a friend request.
