North Sentinel Island , great place ,youre never wane leave.

[-] golden@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Almost anywhere in Europe or the Commonwealth would be good if you value liberties.

[-] stepan@lemmy.cafe 24 points 1 week ago

not really related to the question, but wtf is that image? also isn't telegram russian?

[-] RickAstleyfounddead@lemy.lol 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Telegram and durov was expelled and banned from russia, now he lives in dubai.
He made Vk too and its sold to russian

[-] stepan@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

TIL.

lot of people say it's a russian spyware, which doesn't make much sense then..

[-] einkorn@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago

It's still spyware though. Content is non-encrypted by default and in case of channels can't be encrypted anyway.

[-] Willoughby@piefed.world 6 points 1 week ago

Guess it's UAE spyware now.

Pssssst.

no one "owns" XMPP.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 1 week ago

The security is dubious, and Durov is not exactly an exile: he travels to Russia regularly, and Telegram have had (and might still have) development offices there, suggesting some kind of accommodation with the authorities there.

[-] webkitten@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

I believe the founder was originally Russian but moved to BVI and UAE since the 90s.

lol yup, this one again. I read the title and knew exactly which user posted it. Answer in a snarky way, she gets upset and insulted. Try to be friendly, she tells you she doesn't want friends or help.

Like I said last time, I sympathize with her awful situation. But whining and then yelling at people on lemmy isn't really productive or helpful. She seems to use her account as a means to vent in general. And thats fine and understandable. But it would be nice if russians would find a way to do that amongst themself or directed at the people responsible for their predicament.

But alas, its easier to yell at westerners.

[-] alina@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

you literally said "I'd be happy to help, but I honestly don't care😮‍💨" and you got the answer you deserved. and I don't yell at westerners, I worship them, but not all of them.

[-] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah I said I'd be happy to help you, the individual, if I could, but I cant. And I don't care that I can't. Reason being, what russia is doing to Ukraine and Ukrainians.

Once Ukraine is secured and alright, I'll see if I have any fucks left to give to russians.

[-] alina@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

-I can't help you and I don't care

-I don't need your help

"She said she doesn't need my help, what a whiner🙄"

[-] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I confirm that was exactly my experience interacting with the OP.

[-] alina@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

lmao weren't you the one downvoting all my comments from different accounts?

It's funny that all these people who accuse me of something end up being weird as shit.

[-] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week ago

Alaska USA has a significant Russian population. Also I doubt ICE is trying to deport people from Alaska because it’s massive, empty, and makes money

[-] username_1@programming.dev 14 points 1 week ago

North Korea. The best place for Russians.

[-] alina@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago
[-] username_1@programming.dev 12 points 1 week ago

They would feel there like at home, but in future...

[-] vividly7259@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

You're trolling 🤣

[-] timestatic@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago

Honestly I think going through Georgia and applying for a visa/asylum in any EU country that somewhat permits it. Once you have permanent residence I believe you can just travel and move freely. Its not easy as many countries have locked down visas for russian nationals. But more so the more the countries closer to Russia.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago

Displaying it like that would make me want to move to russia, fuck those fascist corporations

[-] zxqwas@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

So you'd rather live in the autocratic aggressor in the largest land war in Europe since the end of WW2?

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

That's not what's in the picture, which is what my comment fully based on. Obviously it's shit, but the picture doesn't really displays that.

[-] crimson_iris@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

They made their own bed, now they can lie in it.

[-] EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

You think it's always an entire people that is responsible for its government? And everything it does?

[-] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

Any person moving away from supporting authoritarian and war crimes has my support. Abusers would love their victims to feel the world is against them too

[-] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Who're "they"?

[-] RickAstleyfounddead@lemy.lol 6 points 1 week ago

I would say canada or Scandinavian places rich and similar climate

[-] webkitten@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Depends on your financial system; are you looking to move to a bordering baltic country? An EU country? Elsewhere? Is Language barrier an issue?

Estonia, Georgia, Armenia; close options.
Scandinavia, further but generally stable. Ireland, Iceland; farther out there.

[-] timestatic@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

I don't think getting into Estonia legally as a Russian with visa is easy

If you're up for giving more than a fair share of your life to work, Canada, Japan or Germany. Mind you, Japan accepts like 1 refugee per year, so the manner of your migration might also affect where you want to try your luck.

If you want more balance between work life and private life, maybe a Scandinavian country.

I can only speak from experience regarding Japan and Sweden, where I have lived for many years. Regarding the other countries, I only speak from prejudice/image.

до свидания 😊 (I can read some Cyrillic and I know basically "hi, my name is..." so don't get your hopes up 😅)

[-] einkorn@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

Germany

Russians migrating to Germany because of repressions in their country are in for a rude surprise though: Russia Germans our largest Russian-speaking group of citizens, make up a significant part of AFD voters, our new fascist party supported by ... Russia.

[-] mathemachristian 1 points 1 week ago

bullshit on the AFD support by russia. It's backed by Musk and other yankees.

[-] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Shared interests. Weak EU is good for non-EU blocks.

Plus, even the fascists are not homogeneous, with some of them actually believing in patriotism, and others selling out to the highest bidder (like China)

[-] mathemachristian 1 points 6 days ago

Source on russia having ties to the AfD then??

We know Musk loves to support far-right parties all over the world and has openly supported the AfD so it's not much of a stretch to say that he also financially supports them, but what is there wrt Russia other than "zomg the russians are eveel and hate our '''superior''' society because of how much better we are than them"

Gut, viel davon ist sicher Parterhetorik. Aber so groß ist der ideologische Unterschied zwischen Trump und seinen Silicon-Valley-Milliadären und Putin und seinen Gas-Oligarchen auch nicht.

Abgesehen davon ist die AfD eben auch kein homogener Block. Dass sich manche mit Musk und Maga und andere wieder mit Medwedjew treffen, ist nicht unmöglich.

[-] webp@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

You're almost there, keep going.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 3 points 1 week ago

США, конечно. У нас в Сеаттл много русских, часто русский слышано на улицах. Приезжай к нам — будет лучше здесь через несколько лет, уверен.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Yes, there are Russians here, but "you commonly hear Russian on the streets" is nonsense. Quit your bullshit.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You’re clearly not listening. It’s a rare day I don’t overhear someone speaking Russian.

edit: to clarify, I'm not sure if you just hang out in neighborhoods with a smaller group of Russian speakers, or if you have a different sense of what часто means than I do, but I can tell you I would have struggled with homesickness a lot less if I had heard English spoken in Nizhni as often as I hear Russian spoken in Seattle.

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Clearly, you are choosing very specific places to frequent.

[-] CombatWombat@feddit.online 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah? I'm a Russian speaker in Seattle, it might just be possible that I'm more frequently in Russian-speaking places in Seattle? And "often overheard" is not a high bar to clear -- if you take the bus to lunch and back again, you'll hear dozens of conversations; even if only a very small portion of them are in Russian, you'll still hear one most days.

[-] Pholous@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

I don't know if having Shitter, Spotify, Instagram and WhatsApp is something to be proud of.

Depending on your langue skills I would recommend either Moldavia or Japan.
