Russian exiles and the war in Ukraine | DW Documentary

Day by day, tens of thousands of Ukrainians flee the war. Critics of the Kremlin are leaving Russia, as well. They oppose President Vladimir Putin's war of aggression and are suffering the consequences of a clampdown on freedom of expression. Berlin has become a gathering point for Russians who oppose invasion of Ukraine.
Civil rights activist Olga Romanova was born in Russia. In 2017, she fled to Berlin because she no longer felt safe in her own country. Now, she’s doing whatever she can to help the thousands of Ukrainians and Russians arriving daily in Germany’s capital. One of them is Lev Vladov, from Chelyabinsk, east of the Ural Mountains. He criticized Russia's invasion of Ukraine on his blog and now fears for his life.

These people are real patriots, their work is to ultimately help save TWO countries in dire need. Much respect and admiration to them.

[@penguins1075]

Technically the reality which western people doesn't know is that all those Russians are lieing to easily gain visas so easily. Remember that some companies closed in Russia so those citizens needs to follow those companies to still be employed by those high paying companies, where they will still be receiving high wages as a proof for that you will see that 97% of those fleeing are ITs and other mechanical technicians. So to make this understandable, I will give you an example. Here in Africa most of us when we want to easily get Visas to USA or Canada for better life we make up lies that we are gays or lesbians and that we are being abused by our governments by that we are easily given visas and jobs when we reach USA or Canada. So those Russians are geniuses to technically act as opposing to their regime so that they win high paying jobs abroad.

These are just shy little ones, who are detained by special forces without any problems and resistance, they do not help each other, they only have time to shout “no war” a couple of times, after which they are neutralized.

It's so basic that you should be embarrassed, the vast majority of Russians support Putin in his endeavour. Zelensky has banned 11 opposition political parties and has total control of the press, there are many videos of Ukrainian thugs tying Ukrainian citizens to lampposts and whipping them but you tube takes down content that contradicts the official narrative so people like you remain ignorant. Do yourself a favour all of you get off you tube and go to Brand new tube, our tube, odysee, rumble etc anywhere that doesn't censor and twist truth. In war the first casualty is truth.

The people that didn't go in or even attempt to were protesters, however misguided. The people that did go in did so with the intention of disrupting, if not altering or outright stopping a regularly and well known scheduled event in the post election change of power of the govmt. AKA an attempted coup d'etat - not a protest. Putin's elections are an outright sham - he kills or disappears true opposition and leaves only token opposition candidates in their place to give the elections a bare minimum of legitimacy, but in truth there is none at all.

The correct figure for the percentage of the earth’s land mass which is actually occupied by humans is .03%. This includes the land occupied by cities, towns, and commercial enterprises. So this means that out of 1000 units of land, we occupy three. We have made an awful mess here considering we only occupy .03% of the total land mass... if this isn't a good enough reason to rethink our strategy nothing will ever be...

[@mnomadvfx]

Occupying more area is not the answer though. Occupying more volume is the answer. People disdain living in apartment blocks, but they are a vastly more efficient means of residential housing than building 1-2 story homes for individual families just so that they can crow about having space, a nice view and maybe a garden. The same goes for farming - we need to move away from building out and start building up so that the natural world can start to recover from our expansion.

[@chrislecky710]

@@mnomadvfx You seem to have a good understanding of the correct considerations and complications, its nice to hear...Increasing our presence in volume rather than area is a away forward as long as we have the vision to do the idea justice... Apartment blocks are a solution but they're also a solution that needs to be evolved. The long term goal is to reduce our impact on natural environments and biomes but to do so effectively we must create isolated environments fully conducive to HUMAN life and wellbeing not just blocks of high rise flats ,and apartments,, that is a totally different design brief and will take us to totally rethink our entire approach. .Building larger versions of what already exist is not the answer... so we must continue searching for the correct questions to ask for now until a clearer picture emerges...

Russians are leaving and I hope they are recieved without hate towards them. We are seeing more and more Russophobia.

[@StephiSensei26]

I hope she is right. The Russian people deserve to live in peace at long last. Their history is one of great suffering from within their country and from outside their borders. My own personal experience with Russians has always been positive. They are kind, generous and gregarious, not to mention highly intelligent and fun-loving. Some of my teachers were Russian (and Ukrainian), I only have the greatest respect for them both. It is not the Russian people of whom we need to be cautious, it is the power crazed few at the top lead by Mr. Putin, whom we must oppose in our minds and hearts. Wonderful people like this woman prove we are more alike than we know. PS: Her remark, that Putin has divided (her) country, rang a very loud bell in my head. It immediately reminded me of our own experience with Trump. Our country has also been divided. These two egotists got along like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. I wonder who is copying whom? And, whose "playbook" is the source of all this division. Trump wanted to bring this country back to the 1950's, he waged a "war" against our neighbors to the south, built this ridiculous "Wall" and sent love letters to Kim Jung Un. He took Putin's side in Helsinki. Now we can clearly see some "Trumpianesque" qualities being employed by Mr. Putin, internal strife, repression and division and external attacks to prove what a "Good Boy" he is. God help us if we are heading back to the days of "Fearless Leader".
