I may have a young Russian couple neighbour soon for 2-3 months my landlord says, his inquiries for some of his rentals is 80% Russian. Looking forward to some gentle small talk, see what their mindset is.............

It could possibly backfire, probably a substantial number are fleeing rather than holidaying - visas expire, cash gets short, possibly end up looking for some sort of work - legally ?
