There are plenty of land borders, a flight isn't necessary.

Yes go and check the distance between the border and the first "valid" Russian city, then do the same from the border to the other side.

Then think about the fact that is cold now and, additionally, that the border with Europe is full of military.

Now that you consider all tell me where they're supposed to go.

2 developers I'm in contact with are moving from St.Petersburg to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladikavkaz

and then to Georgia even as we speak, 1 by train, another by plane.

They should make it, that's a fairly safe route, the train will take a long time though.

This underestimates the size of Russia substantially. Borders to the West are all pretty much closed. Which makes the minimum route 1000's of km with all kinds of complications along the way.

When you don't know geography and where the fight is that's what happen.

Luckily these people are not working in position of power. Aren't they right? Right? :)

One would hope...
