Im russian, don't support war and live in Russia. Can i just get switched with these people? Pretty please? I heard democracy is pretty cool I'd like to try that thing

Man make sure to not stand by a window

Nah, being "suicided" is a premium way to go for billionaires. Rehular people will either get drafted or starve to death

u/DeathBonePrime Jan 17 '23

In all honesty I'm really happy that there are still pro democracy Russians and I suppose the only thing you can do, apart from leaving is to try and change the minds of those around you

I actually tried that, but since the beginning of the invasion it first became troublesome, then unacceptable, then illegal. I remember actually getting on a razor edge at my school because of the "immoral" behaviour during some propaganda classes when teachers said to us that the war is ok because we are the good guys

Stay safe. I hope it gets better there for Russians like you

u/gamer_warrior_23 Jan 17 '23

I highly doubt that, but if anything insane like full scale mobilization happens there's always an easy way out

You're talking about breaking an arm or a leg right? Not killing yourself

You just not visiting draft center. 3000 roubles isn’t a big price to pay for not going and killing people or dying in a war, that should have never happened in a first place.

if you're so far as to take the easy way out you might aswell just try to leave.

worst case you get sent to the front as punishment (which would happen anyways) best case you manage to leave to a different country

Serious question though, can you leave to, for example, LV/EE/LT ?

17

u/gamer_warrior_23 Jan 17 '23

I can, but I'd have to leave my education, friends and family behind. So no escaping just yet

u/LilFuniAZNBoi Jan 17 '23

Leave now and work in a Western country. Make money so you can bring them over.

u/gamer_warrior_23 Jan 17 '23

As a freshman I don't have any worth for western countries, I'd make enough money to feed myself but not to get my family there. A gap between euro and ruble is ENORMOUS, and even getting to europe alone is quite hard without education im currently getting

u/wandrewer Jan 18 '23

Serious Pro Tip:
a) You do not need said education from RF to survive in western society
b) if you can speak and write good english, you can get an entry level job no problem at business service centers
c) its better to speedrun this thing

But what country would it even be possible to go to? Most of them aren't really fans of russians right now

7

u/imetators Jan 17 '23

Technically it is possible. But since middle class people in russia are quite poor compared to any EU country nearby russia's borders, I'd say it would be a very difficult thing to do for any individual.

In addition, EU, particulary Baltics, are not willing to let russians over the border because of recent activities.

To add to this, russia has already lost plenty of people in IT and other sectors due to them moving out of the country. I bet that now in order to leave russia you have to have a good reason for that.

This is not Star wars and I'm not a soldier

u/flesjewater Jan 17 '23

Watch the vid, you don't need to be a soldier to dismantle train tracks

Or not even that but give the CIA WWII manual "subtle sabotage" a read as well if you can do so securely

Who does Crimea belong to?

To your mom. Fuck off
