    TIL.

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

    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.

    The real question are what countries are not heading the same direction as russia.

    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

  • 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 😅)

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

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

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

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

    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.

    Clearly, you are choosing very specific places to frequent.

    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.
