I don’t think so. I have a friend who spent a few years working in the US as an IT specialist. And he ran away from the US saying that he will never ever return under no circumstances, even if they’ll double or triple-pay him. Says Europe is less of an eye-sore.
He earns a lot, bought two apartments and is building a house right now.
The general outlook on the US doesn’t seem that positive in Eastern Europe at least so doubt Russian outlook would be super different.
To pose a more broad question than that of @BeNder, even though AND is giving a hint above: do many Russians actually leave the country? I doubt it, probably not the middle or lower class anyway.
Russia isn’t as dreadful as sometimes portrayed TBH. The stereotype of the drunken Russian man emptying vodka bottles and mixing them up with amphetamines is fairly dated.
Part of it is because Putin doesn’t drink and has implemented stricter laws on booze sales, probably rightly so as it was quite the disaster up until the late 90s.
At the end of the day I have have nothing against ordinary Americans. People who just live their lives, believe what they are told by MSM etc. Elite is F***ed up though... Corporate warmongers...
