Around one out of ten Russians wanted to emigrate in February 2023, according to survey results. A year prior, when Russia invaded Ukraine, nearly one fifth of the respondents would certainly or likely move abroad. However, in the following month, this share significantly decreased.
The survey was conducted throughout all of Russia in both urban and rural settings, in 137 localities and 50 regions.
The statistical sampling error (with a probability of 0.95) does not exceed: 3.4% — for indices close to 50%, 2.9% — for indices close to 25% / 75%, 2.0% — for indices close to 10% / 90%, 1.5% — for indices close to 5% / 95%.
"Difficult to answer" figures were calculated manually by deducting all other options from 100 percent.
