Is there a way out of Russia now? (Flights SOLD OUT, possible restrictions) - Niki Proshin



Russian people are literally fleeing from Russia right now. Flights for next 7 days are sold out, flights for next 2 weeks are SUPER expensive, and every single land border checkpoint is busy as never before.

Here's what I have to share about this. Kilometers-long queues to the borders, my personal experience of crossing one of those borders (the checkpoint from Russia to Georgia), and possible restriction to leave Russia.

Apparently he's been turned down flat for military service in the past (probably some unspecified health condition), so he feels relatively safe staying put. Since there is video of a guy arriving at an induction center in a wheelchair, one leg missing, his chances of staying safe are not guaranteed.

He's lived in China and his stated aim is to return there to live some day.
