俄罗斯早在面临人才净流失 The great Russian brain drain

希特勒在二战中抢走邻国很多德依人，历史上 called "Heim ins Reich"，which was a slogan and policy used by Nazi Germany to justify bringing ethnic germans ("Volksdeutsche") living outside Germany's borders - in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, etc. - "back" home into German Reich. Nazi Germany brought millions of ethinic Germans "home" but after 1945, most of those people were expelled. 普京在做同样邪恶的事情。

Since 2022, Russia has experienced a significant brain drain, primarily affecting young, highly educated professionals and IT specialists, due to the invasion of Ukraine. This exodus has depleted the labor force, caused a loss of skilled workers, and is projected to negatively impact Russia's economy by exacerbating existing labor shortages and hindering innovation. In response, the Russian government has attempted to counteract the trend by offering incentives to keep IT specialists in the country, but these efforts have been met with limited success. 

 

Key statistics and effects

• Demographics: A significant portion of those who have left are under the age of 45, with 80% holding college degrees. 
  
   
• Economic impact: The loss of skilled workers, particularly in the IT sector, is having a notable negative effect on the economy. The brain drain, combined with other factors like declining birth rates, is expected to hinder economic stability and growth. 
  
   
• Labor shortage: The exodus of workers has contributed to a historically low unemployment rate in Russia, forcing the military and private sector to compete for a limited labor pool. 
  
   
• Scientific and intellectual decline: The departure of scientists and academics has led to the standstill of some research fields, a decline in educational institutions, and a crackdown on dissent. 
  
   
• Capital flight: In addition to human capital, Russia also experienced significant financial capital flight in 2022 as individuals transferred large sums of money abroad. 
  
   
• Government response: The Russian state has introduced incentives, such as tax breaks and bonuses, to encourage IT workers to stay, but the scale of the exodus suggests these measures have had limited success. 
  
   

Causes of the brain drain

• Invasion of Ukraine: The invasion of Ukraine is the primary catalyst for the current wave of emigration. 
  
   
• Political climate: Growing political repression, a lack of freedoms, and increased censorship have prompted many, including those not politically inclined, to leave the country for better opportunities elsewhere. 
  
   
• War and mobilization: The conflict and the ensuing mobilization have driven many to flee, including those who wish to avoid being drafted.
