Good article on the russian situation :

"Those who want to go abroad often have higher material standards of living than their peers in the West. They are looking for things they cannot buy: recognition of achievements, protection of property rights, physical safety, a functioning health service, a proper education for their children. They want to live a life which does not involve paying bribes, or losing one's business for political reasons, or being jailed at the whim of a corrupt bureaucrat."
Most worrying of all is that those less educated who stay will increasingly inflate the statistics of "emotional" citizens :
"34% of Russians “want to shoot” those they blame for their troubles"
