Do countries accept refugees without passports? I can't imagine living a stateless/undocumented existence in some random country to be better than a relatively middle class life in russia.
Armenia accepts Russian citizen by internal Russian ID. It's confusing, because internal id is called "passport" in Russia, and passport is called "foreign passport" — a legacy of a system that was (and still is) designed to impose prison-like discipline on it's own citizens and limit their ability to go abroad.
But technically Russian government isn’t killing their citizens unless you were conscripted.
And for all it is western governments don’t have a good history of accepting refugees, let alone refugees who just decided the leave the country because it’s just not too good there.
Getting asylum for is much harder than you might think when it's come to someone from Russia.
Getting into EU using all legal (or illegal) ways and trying to get asylum is good option for people who actually running from war when their home being bombed. But if you're from IT and used to higher quality of life and also need some comfort to work efficiently then it's not an option - because finding a job takes time.
