Mini-AMA, anybody? For me myself, left as an exchange student 12 years ago. Been back for a few months after being kicked out of Canada in 2016, almost got robbed the first time I went out late.
Back in 2007, it was very certain that the country was bordering on turning North Korea any day. As somebody faring from a more or less privileged background, my parents heard of credible rumour of Kremlin looking up to "quick, clean war," and that was the last straw for them.
I saw tons and tons other far-easterners from Russia in China, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Korea. Some leave for jobs, some move permanently.
Back in nineties, there were mostly engineers leaving for plumpy jobs in Chinese state companies, but in this wave I see far more regular people.
