While it's good that Russians are voting with their feet, one can't but help wonder whether it would have been better for them to stay behind and actively protest at home. The cynic in me would also ask why, despite the war going on for around 8 months now, they didn't do anything about it beforehand? Only when their lives were directly affected did they bother taking any action, however self preserving it may be. My tongue in cheek comment earlier, about arming the over 100,000 mainly young men fleeing to Kazakhstan, and sending them back to fight Putin, is quite a serious one on further reflection. With all those headed to Georgia, Finland and other neighbouring countries, that would make a sizable resistance force. Especially with the Russian army desperate to send more bodies to Ukraine. (They may as well send bodies, as that is what they will be converted to shortly after arrival).
