Practical information
The gradual hardening of Vladimir Putin's regime, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the partial mobilization in September have triggered waves of massive departures of Russians abroad, particularly to European countries. Often perceived as a challenge, these flows bring significant economic added value to the host countries, while depriving Russia of its talents. The presentation will be based on a groundbreaking sociological study of the political, sociological and economic characteristics of the last three waves of Russian emigration (before 2014, 2014-2022, since 2022) conducted in four European countries (France, Poland, Germany, Cyprus) by the Center for Analysis and Strategy in Europe (CASE), founded in 2024 by Russian experts in exile.
Speakers :
- Dmitry Gudkov, independent deputy in the Russian Duma between 2011 and 2016, co-founder and member of the Russian Anti-War Committee.
- Vladislav Inozemtsev, independent economist, director of the Center for Post-Industrial Studies.
- Dmitry Nekrasov, economist, co-founder and director of the Center of Analysis and Strategy in Europe (CASE).
Seminar in person by invitation only.

Moreover, the phase-out of Russian gas supplies comes with renewed risks.
