Russians Avoiding War Have Flooded Into Uzbekistan

Hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled their country since Moscow announced a "partial" mobilization on September 21. Many have traveled to Uzbekistan to seek refuge. The Russians say they are settling into their news lives and are unsure how long they'll be abroad.

[@sk-sm9sh]

They were not against Chechen war during which Russian military destroyed the country down to rubble. They were not against Georgian war. They were not against 2014 russian invasion of Crimea and Luhansk/Donbas. They were not against Syrian wars where russians again turned cities to rubble - in fact the only thing they typically can say about Syrian war is that it's all US fault like every bad thing in the world is. They only against when their own asses are on line to be sent to war. Most of them believe that it's all evil US dollar conspiring against Russians in order to take over Rusian wast resources.

[@xandretuber7030]

@@sk-sm9sh yes they are brainwashed severely. Russia never really had a democratic system. They could have established a parliament and implemented many other social and freedom reforms centuries ago but Russia was allways an absolutist system behind other european countries. Therefore, the mentality of the power in One person was allways the rule because the population has that mindset as the most effective way to govern. This can also reveal a fear of Partition into many nations, the other european countries never had this because they never had different ethnicities.

Exactly. The Russian who ran away and now says it's a *"conflict"* is like someone saying a mugging victim and the attacker had a *"disagreement"* over who should get the victim's wallet.

[@thechancellor3715]

That's the sense I have many of these videos....they're avoiding their own conscription but are willing to return to Russia if the "conflict" is over without saying what "over" means. A full blown Russian annihilation of Ukraine and it's people? Or a full Russian retreat of all of Ukraine including Crime? A Russia without Putin oligarchs and reforms? Those are meaningful and revealing questions that need to be asked

[@davelovj]

Hundreds of thousands have fled Russia. If they had stayed in Russia and protested the war things may be different. They fled in selfish response. Will these people return to Russia after the war ? Change is hard and many will die fighting the government but Russia and Russian citizens are worth it. There are not enough police in Russia to stop an uprising. The real heroes will be the true Russians who love their country enough to stand up to the government long enough to stop this murderous war. If you truly love your country you don't run away. You stay and fight for what you know is right. Tough choice for sure but in my opinion it is the only way this war stops.

My practical side makes me wonder how the money thing works. It is my understanding that Russian bank cards and visa cards issued by Russian banks don't work outside of Russia. Where do these folks get their money to live in Uzbekistan if they don't have access to their money that is in Russian banks? I realize some may have 'digital nomad' jobs that will allow them to get paid while there, but for those without jobs, how are they able to support themselves for any length of time?

[@sk-sm9sh]

In uzbekistan it works fine as far as I know as Uzbekistan doesn't have same level of sanctions on russians as western block. Compared to Russia Uzbekistan is also a lot cheaper. Thanks to covid most of them already started and adapted to remote work prior to all this. Others just get some local jobs in Uzbekistan - as neither language not culture is not a barrier and russians are fine working without official status as they been used to this type of arrangements back in russia to cut on taxes and unofficial work arrangement is not a remote idea to uzbeks too.

Many ethnic Russians own two passports, one for Russia and one for a particular Central Asian country. It used to be illegal to own more than one passport and you risked losing one of the citizenships over this. Of course, with the problem of bribery -- that could provide an opportunity to pay a larger bribe to get out of a quandary if discovered.
