"Fish is looking for where it is deep, and people - where is better"so says the interpretation of the popular proverb. And it is not so far from the truth: in the conditions of total impoverishment of the population, oppression of freedoms, lack of social support from the state and the bureaucracy reigning in business, more and more citizens are thinking about how to change the country of their citizenship. Since the October Revolution, emigration from Russia has gone five waves. As a rule, they were noble, rich, outstanding people, as well as political opponents of power and the poor, who can not survive in their homeland.

Also, there should be no problems for people who have close relatives in these states: parents, children, spouse or spouse. There is some chance for those who can prove their ethnic roots.

Emigration from Russia to the United States and Canada are, respectively, the second and third places.
Germany, despite the economic crisis,shaking Europe, takes the fourth position in the ranking of the countries we have been waiting for. Similar climatic conditions, a fairly large Russian diaspora, ease of doing business make this federal state attractive.
