Stan's Life in Russia and the Impact of War

Stan's life was thriving in Russia until the invasion of Ukraine caused significant upheaval in his personal and professional landscape. With business revenue decreasing by 20% as a result of sanctions and a shift in the conversation around the war, Stan found himself surrounded by supporters of the invasion, creating a sense of alienation. His Western clients began canceling contracts, and he worried about the potential for military mobilization, leading him to consider relocation as a means of escape.
