"Nobody Wants to Live in the Mean New Russia"
"Many people who were either born in Russia or have lived here for many years are feeling that it is now time to leave. And often their reasons have nothing to do with politics: They couldn't care less whether this is President Vladimir Putin's first or fiftieth term in office or who controls Crimea."
"They want to leave Russia because the social microclimate ? the people whom they meet every day at work, at home and on the street ? is changing for the worse. They see that people are becoming angrier, meaner and even dangerous."
