Foreign exodus from Russia gathers pace - FT.com

Foreign exodus from Russia gathers pace - FT.com:



"Foreigners are leaving Russia in unprecedented numbers in a sign of how the political stand-off with the west and economic crisis are deepening the country’s international isolation.



Excluding people who fled to Russia to escape the war in eastern Ukraine, there were 417,000 fewer foreigners in the country last month than a year ago, a drop of 4.7 per cent, according to Russian government figures.



The numbers from several western countries have plummeted by as much as a third, reflecting Moscow’s estrangement from Europe and the US as a result of the conflict in Ukraine."
