I was talking with a Russian student in VRChat recently. I could only understand bits and pieces of what he was saying (his English wasn’t so great) but I did pick up on his fear and anxiety

He said he wanted to flee to Argentina because he didn’t want to get drafted. He also mentioned the economy wasn’t great and a few other things I just couldn’t catch

It got me wondering what life is actually like over there right now… Is it as rough as he made it sound?

    I gently nudged him to consider Argentina instead, since it’s a safer and cheaper option for immigration than Mexico

    The Argentine economy isn’t doing so well right now and it’s only looking to get worse. They are better off staying in Russia. Russia is in a better position economically right now than most of the world actually, especially if a fuel crisis is on the horizon. I know the grass always seems greener on the other side, but believe me, Russia is one of the safest and most stable places you can be right now and for the foreseeable future.
