#10  Up to a million young Russians already left to escape mobilization. They had to have to means to travel and live outside Russia or find work for an extended time, so they will be disproportionately the educated middle and upper middle classes. The exact people Russia can't afford to lose.

Permanently removing a portion of the faster growing competition is not going to result in a higher — replacement-plus — birthrate for the native Russians.

#8  The Moscalis are getting rid of the non-Russian squatters that have come to Moscow over the years for work. Lots from the 'Stans. Same as Moscow drafting disproportionately from the non-Russian republics. Ethnic cleansing by other means.
