Before the start of the “special operation” in Ukraine, the IT sector in Russia was the most desirable place to work: according to a survey by Outside Digital, every third Russian wanted to move into it. The sphere attracted high wages (several times higher than the average for Russia) and good working conditions. In addition, she was ready to accept anyone: guys with technical and humanitarian education, and without education at all, left for IT. The Internet even has a meme “you need to learn python” (Python programming language). There seemed to be no other way to make money.
After February 24, the situation changed: queues of IT specialists fleeing the country lined up at the Russian border. Only in the Russian-language chat in the telegram “IT vacancies in Armenia” there are more than eight thousand people (the number of new users has been growing inexorably in recent days). The Novaya correspondent tells how the IT sector in Russia first became the main social elevator, and then opened the way to emigration.

Special Operation “Diplomacy.” How Deputy Minister Ryabkov collapsed the ruble during the week’s negotiations. An amazing and almost mysterious story. Russia’s negotiations with the United States and NATO have just ended and the final gong has not yet sounded at the OSCE Vienna meeting, and one of the main negotiators from the cohort of Russian super-diplomats has already managed to negate the main meaning of the negotiations that took place—that is, the fact that the negotiations began as a diplomatic tool in itself , capable of replacing obscure, but clearly dangerous “military-technical solutions.”
