Russsia invades Ukraine: Liberal Russians flee Putin's persecution

We met a Russian family in estate agents who decided less than a week ago that the mood in Moscow had turned so ugly that they had to get out as soon as possible. So, they told friends and family they're here in turkey on holiday but they're trying to get their property and they won't be going back now. He's not an activist, he's not a journalist or a fishmonger but he said he had so many threats and he have no choice but to get his wife and nine-year-old daughter out and he says it would be too dangerous to talk on camera.

“Our Russian payments those already here say in the last two weeks life has become harder their currency plunging in value and their nation becoming a pariah,” she said.

“When I go outside from my home, I feel not so comfortable now because I’m Russian, because I have Russian passport and because mostly people don't understand that the war is not from our Russian people,” she said.

“We can't smile like before because I have no rights to do it,” she said.

In conclusion, whatever the challenges abroad, it will be easier than life in the motherland.
