State Duma deputy Anastasia Udaltsova spoke about the fate of former relocants who left Russia in the last couple of years and later decided to return. In her Telegram channel, Udaltsova cited as an example those who left for Georgia and, with reference to local authorities, reported that in 2023, more Russians left this country than entered its territory. The deputy also expressed her opinion on the reasons why her compatriots decided to leave.

“People fled to Georgia, fearing that a crisis or unrest would begin in Russia against the backdrop of a special military operation,” Udaltsova said. “However, in our country, despite all the efforts of our enemies, stability and calm have remained.”

Due to the stability in Russia, and also because foreigners abroad were not accepted with open arms, Russians began to return, writes Udaltsova. However, she believes that new difficulties await citizens at home. Thus, she believes that in Russia there is no shortage of specialists, here “they quickly found replacements for those who left” and relocants will not be able to find work, including because “the fact that a citizen has already run away once may put employers on guard.”

Many Russians who returned to their homeland will have to “face the difficult consequences of their earlier choice.” ;, Udaltsova summed up.

At the beginning of the month it became known about the detention of the deputy’s husband, politician Sergei Udaltsov, as part of a criminal case for justifying terrorism. According to a number of publications, after his arrest, Udaltsov said that he wanted to go to the Northern Military District zone. Udaltsova has not yet publicly commented on the criminal case and her husband’s arrest.
