FYI, I heard that Georgia plans to introduce visas for Russians, because local population begins to worry of all the immigrants taking jobs.

Meanwhile, in Russia's remote places (small town in Ural region) some grocerry shops have imposed food rationing for essentials (sugar, bread, wheat, flour, etc) because of panic-bying. And it's snowing as if during Ragnarök, nordic end of times.

Among my friends and relatives we half-jokingly discuss that, while potato harvesting and mushroom picking were a sort of recreational leisure activity in the past, now they are destined to become an essential part of this summer season.

Georgia and Moldova asked to joined the EU 2 days ago, the Russo-Ukrainian war basically started when they turned to the EU rather then the EAEU (Euromaiden). I'm afraid it won't be exactly be a safe place for long, I'd try to move farther away if I was exiling from Russia.

i think the Ukrainians fleeing Russian bombs should take priority over Russians fleeing discomfort.

It is not discomfort, the threat is real for most who disagree. For many it's 15 years with raping + torturing in prison. And probably even death if you don't give up your views. Google gulagu-net investigations about institutionalized raping in prisons.

Afaik, if there's one thing Russia is actually self-sustained at, it's food and energy. Would there really be shortages of food because of the sanctions?

Of course.

Famine is the natural stable state for Russia.

Russia was on the brink of famine in 1990-1991. Putin's political career started from stealing and reselling humanitarian aid from USA in St Petersburg. He was saved from prosecution by mayor Sobchak. That's why his daughter Ksenia Sobchak always got preferential treatment.
