Russia as of today isn't good or bad. For some people, what's happening is inappropriate, others accept it. For everyone here, I guess, Russia seems a nightmare but there are quite a few Russians, many of them, actually, who genuinely support Putin and Medvedev and have no desire of leaving. It's a different mindset, different way of life.
As for me, I left for London when I was 23, 4 years ago, never visited Russia ever since and have no intention of going back. Many (most, almost all?) of my friends who exiled feel the same.
