It's only mentioned briefly but a large percentage of emigres ended up in the same place, Cyprus. My wife's Russian dev team all slipped away to Cyprus. Cyprus was once very cozy with Russia and pitched itself as a vacation spot for Russian tourists. It cost them a lot to sign on to sanctions but they found a silver lining by acquiring a whole tech sector almost for free.

Did they? Or they received a ton of people who are working in US/other European countries companies and at best are spending their money there?

Cyprus is not a cheap place to live. Some people went there, but many more ended up in Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey and Kazakhstan. Why there? Well, these are the countries which let Russian citizens stay...
