I am one of the brain drain 2 waves ago from mid 90ies. Especially these days I thank my family to have moved from there to USA. I have an uncle who is twice the programmer than I am and he had a chance to come bit stayed there because, you know, emigration is rely hard and his girlfriend didn't want to come. Now he's just super stuck in Moscow with mortgage in a modest apartment, wife whose job got killed due to sanctions and two children and unsure that he has energy to make a move. Hope programs like that can help him but he should have moved 20 years ago....
