Russians who left their country since the invasion of Ukraine – BBC News

According to one estimate, as many as 200,000 Russians have left their country since the start of the war.

Over 25,000 of those have arrived in Georgia. Some of those who have left Russia are activists who fear repercussions for protesting against the war in Ukraine. These activists continue to work from their new base in Georgia.

While many have welcomed the Russians leaving their homes some Georgians worry that Russia already has too much influence in their country and fear that a large influx of Russians could increase that influence.
