      Russia has had a lot of brain drain since the fall of the USSR. They’ve always had good universities, and the kids of the educated often speak good enough English to leave. It’s estimated between 1/2-1 million people have fled since the war.

        Edit: this answer was 85% serious, 15% joking. The countries may not have anything against you personally, but the actions of russia, the state, have soured relations so badly that the attitude people have towards your government, leaks to their attitude to you personally.

          You said that Russia should be red, but at the same time, I shouldn’t live in any other country. So what should I do?

            I edited my comment but It was too late.

            I’m sorry that you are in the situation you are, I truly am. The actions your government has taken has made me a bit blind to the issues normal people in russia have. But to be brutally honest, I don’t really care, as long as Ukrainians are being bombed. It sucks that you live there, it sucks that you cant leave. I’m sorry for all that. I wish I could help, but I can’t. Other than helping Ukraine survive. If Ukraine wins, maybe putin falls and russia can build itself to something better. Maybe.

    So… You want to illegally occupy Ukraine, even though they don’t want you there (since it’s post-2022). But Serbia is a bridge too far!?

      It’s a joke, it’s actually the other way around. but if I had a choice of where to be born, I would choose Ireland or the UK.
