In less than two weeks after the partial mobilisation was announced, about 700,000 people left Russia.
Details: According to one source, almost 1 million people have left Russia since the beginning of the mobilisation. The second source, in the administration of the President of the Russian Federation, reports that between 600,000 and 700,000 Russians have left the country. The magazine’s source emphasised that it is not yet clear what percentage of people left the country as tourists.
According to Forbes, the media previously cited the figure of 194,000 Russians who left for Georgia, Kazakhstan and Finland in the week after the announcement of mobilisation. At the beginning of September, even before the announcement of partial mobilisation, the Federal State Statistics Service (Russia) stated that 419,000 people had left the Russian Federation in the first half of 2022 – twice as many as in the same period the previous year. There was a net migration outflow (- 96,000) in the first six months of 2022, as compared to a net inflow of 114,000 during the same period in 2021.
Marat Akhmetzhanov, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, reported on 4 October that since 21 September, 200,000 Russians have entered his country, and 147,000 Russians have left it during this period.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia reported that 53,000 Russians came to the country in a week, and 10,000 people cross the border every day, which is 40-45% more than before 21 September. At the end of September, the flow of Russians on the border with Georgia decreased.
In one week, 66,000 Russians entered the EU, which is 30% more than a week earlier, according to the EU border agency Frontex.

Currently in a hostel in Istanbul. About 50% of the guests here are Russian men, who have come here very recently. The cost of hostels, hotels etc. have all gone up. The receptionist told me that October is when prices go down, but they're going up right now and the prices are even higher than August.
Two of the guys in my room are Russian. I asked when they will return to Russia. One guys response, "when we get a new government."
The travellers and digital nomads in hostels are usually chatty, happy, and willing to go out. The Russian guys don't look happy, and I don't blame them. They seem like decent, regular guys, who had to suddenly pack their belongings, say goodbye to their family, and leave to a random country. Their lives have been turned upside down on such a short notice and some don't even know if they'll ever return home.

The Russian economy is going to be a cold mound of ashes when this is over. I won't be surprised if they need foreign intervention to prevent famine.
Congratulations Vlad Vova, your legacy will be as the architect of your country's demise.
