Answer 1

Eritrea, it's warm there!

Answer 2

It seems to me that most Russians do not understand what kind of }{oops is coming. You are banned not only by companies like Upwork, but also by payment services. In general, the entire civilized world.

Answer 3

Apparently, there are fewer and fewer friends, and it will be worse. Well, definitely worse than in Iran or North Korea, which have already lagged behind the Russian Federation in terms of the number and severity of sanctions imposed against them.

Answer 4

You can just take vpn and log in from it. IMHO, relocation will take a little more time and effort. So, anyone will most likely need a vpn, unless vpn services stop working with the Russian Federation)

Answer 5

Go to the army. Tanker in Ukraine. Surrender with a tank. Give 10k bucks and cover. Don't thank.

Answer 6

They say that many have left for Armenia and Georgia, they are leaving in whole companies.

Answer 7

The easiest option, at first, is to Kazakhstan. From there, think further.

Answer 8

I don't think VPN is the solution. If you try to cheat - they can be banned for life. Most likely they will require confirmation of the change of residence. There was something like giving rent checks with details or something like that. Of the previously unannounced locations - Georgia, Kazakhstan.
BUT, they will completely block completely from May 1, until then something may change. It's also written on the upwork. Like, if something changes, perhaps we will reconsider our decision.
Another option. You can try to go to work with the customer directly. This is if you have a long project and the customer himself does not want to lose you.

Answer 9

It is not necessary to move at all. It is enough to become a resident of another country. For example, Estonia allows citizens of other countries to become their digital residents. True, in connection with recent events, I do not know. And on upworks, the light did not converge like a wedge. There are even freelance services that accept payment in cryptocurrency.

Answer 10

Uzbekistan as an option))

Answer 11

Serbia

Answer 12

Guys, to Armenia, I've been here for 4 days.
They are very well treated, the Armenians are very polite and cultured.
99% speak Russian normally.
There are Yandex taxis, they change rubles at a very good rate, you can stay for 180 days without a visa.
Only a huge influx of Russians and a rental real estate crisis in Yerevan.
An apartment in a non-smelly entrance is about $1,000, in other cities of Armenia about $300.

Answer 13

Many have now left for Georgia, they open individual entrepreneurs at 1% and continue to work.

Answer 14
