It looks kinda funny how from their representation of the events Russia does absolutely nothing while the rest of the world suddenly started to harass it. It looks exactly like USSR 2.0.

Also "Benefits for IT-companies will slow down an outflow of personnel from Russia, an expert said". Mhm.

people are afraid there that like in ussr there will be russian "visa" in order to go abroad. this will essentially prevent IT personal leaving.

like Yakob Smirnov's joke about the Soviet Express card's tagline: don't leave home

lol. but actually it's sad. we have office over there and one of the guys got just stamped his and his wifes passports in some other country and got them mailed back. he got his passport first week ago (magic on dhl) and yesterday he had to literally escape abroad without wife because chances that there will be mobilization are too high...

a lot of good people gonna get stuck there in case "Exit visa" will be a thing
