Like many other young, creative people of her generation, Rozhkova now lives outside of Russia. Around 1<\/span>,000<\/span>,000<\/span> people are believed to have emigrated since February 2022<\/span>, mostly under the age of 45<\/span>.

It fundamentally shatters your trust in society, in authorities, and in safety itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
