Abstract

The article touches on an important topic of emigration from Russia in 2015-2020. The authors analyze current trends and migration channels. The article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at monitoring current trends and pro- spects of emigration of young Russians in 2015-2020. Of interest is the dynamics of emigration from Russia, whose economy, despite a small growth, from 2016 to 2019, nevertheless experienced a period of stagnation. The picture of emigration and ex- pectations of Russians in the pre-pandemic and pandemic years is interesting. The coronavirus year did not reduce the rate of emigration, but only increased the speed of decision-making about moving. Someone was stuck in another country due to the pandemic and decided to stay late, someone decided to reunite with a family liv- ing abroad at such a difficult time, someone decided to use a remote work mode and change the country of residence, etc. The article is based on qualitative research methods. The authors conducted an online survey and interviews with respondents aged 18 to 35 in the metropolitan region and St. Petersburg, since these regions are the leaders in the outflow of young people for the purpose of study, work, etc. To a small extent, this study gives an idea of the expectations of Russians and the reasons for their decision to emigrate.
