The atmosphere is totally unhealthy, wages stagnate or fall for most of workers, and there is no optimism for the future.

In some areas Russia still becomes a better place to live, but if you compare it to Europe proper it still lacks in so many ways and the gap is not closing anytime soon, if not getting wider.

And the only news which come is about new restrictions on public life and political free speech.

Your colleague should not keep his canaries in a mine in Siberia!

Joke aside, thanks for your comment, sorry for the downvotes, and good luck to you
