These factors, along with the expansion of censorship and the rejection of the war by a significant segment of the academic community, have led to the formation of new flows of academic
The panel participants analyze the internal structure and dynamics of the newly formed flows and compare them with the earlier academic emigration from the RF in 1991-2021. Special attention is given to the situation in particular migrant receiving regions and countries, first of all, of North and South America.
