They aren't there escaping conflict they are escaping conscription. Russian 'victims' are soldiers not civilians like Ukrainians driven from their homes by bombs.
Of course! Trump's so called Peace Highway leads straight to Putin! The occupation of Armenia coincides with Trumps "peace plan" promises U.S. invested in restoration of trade route.
Just ask these "anti war" ruSSians who does Crimea belong to, and you'll see they're no different from Putin's supporters.
for Ukraine and Russia welcome to our country, your second home
we'll be happy to live the whole life with each other, big love to u💙
Special operation of Armenia
I remember other places that Russian "refugees" have settled. Normally about a year before a Russian invasion.
Armenia! Be careful of these Russian (Greeks) bearing gifts.

Armenia is russia
So Armenia is next ? 😅😂😂
One important thing about Russians, if you let them in, they will never leave!
Well they can hardly flee to America 😊
Armenia is the best country in the world. And Armenian people are the best people in the world. ❤❤❤
You cant trust Russians
Why???? Enough!!!
I’m so glad, that my country able to help Russian and Ukrainian citizens. It’s very hard
To be immigrant, they’re lucky because mostly Armenian speaks in Russian and in that aspect it’s easy for them. Maybe Russian people will force Putin to stop this war because it’s unacceptable. Christian are killing their brothers . Thanks for this video , God bless you 🙏🙏
no affance but because ofhis migration in Armenia prices hike up for EVERYTHING!!
ARMENIA centre of civilization…2 time's the live begining from ARMENIA in history of humanity!!!
The children's faces tell it all.😂😂😂
It is heartbreaking!
Good to see normal russian people. As long as poopkin is alive you may be hunted down.
Good for Armenia in helping Russian Refugees.
But word of advice. With 300,000 Russian Refugees in your country make sure they won't become the majority.
The good ones left when the war started , these are rats jumping ship because russia is finally collapsing financially
Poor Armenia😢
Taking this Muscovite scourge in is asking for trouble for Armenia.
Armenian here living in Yerevan from Los Angeles. Rental prices rised not because there was no place left to stay, but because the landlords saw an opportunity to work more money. In short greed. There are plenty of empty apartments all over Armenia. The price hike was done artificially, the locals feel the pain. Since it's artificially bumped up after the Russians leave or go elsewhere all those apartments are gonna become empty. All the priced would be forced to collapse and a big financial hardship would start.
Short sighted people who want to work more money on a short time period, don't understand that if you gave them fair prices they would stay meaning stabil income. They spend money in Armenia meaning growth of Armenian Budget. They grow Armenian economy by starting businesses, schools, etc… When you make it impossible for them to stay, they flee to other countries that could be more affordable. This goes not only for Russians, but Armenians returning from US, and other countries. Trying to move back and live in Armenia. In the end these greedy people and short sightedness makes things worst for everyone in Armenia. Makes people to not want to stay, and in comparison of financial survival, there are better countries more welcoming. I just don't get the minds of these people who hike up the prices just to gain short profits. They're gonna make everyone flee Armenia, then they would try to sell their apartments they rent for hiked up prices dirt cheap. Cuz nobody would buy it, cuz there won't be people left.
thats funny , Russia left Armenia in the war , Russian is so low ,
Very suspicious and 100% they aren't Christians, they are invaders of that piecefool religion to tear apart Armenia.
They didn't flee, they're in Armenia to spread more Communist propaganda
I'm impressed how well the Russian immigrants speak English. I wonder how well can they communicate with their new Armenian hosts, who I don't think speak English as much. I used to live in East Hollywood, then Glendale, California, in the Los Angeles area back in the late 80s and early 90s. At the time there were thousands of Armenian immigrants settling in those neighborhoods. I remember going to the local supermarket and seeing all kinds of Armenian food products and Armenians shopping there. I remember how different they seemed, but over the years they and their US born children started to become more integrated and "Americanized." Today, Glendale is known as "Little Armenia." For some reason, I've always wanted to travel there. I would love to visit the old Christian churches, even though I'm not Christian. I appreciate the history. Armenia was the first nation to officially adopt Christianity. I would also love to travel to the west of the country to see Mount Ararat. What a beautiful, imposing mountain that is. We got a glimpse of it here in this video. I hope that with all the new Russians immigrating to Armenia that they don't create a two-tier society where the Armenians feel like they are being crowded out of their own neighborhoods and resentments start to manifest. May everyone learn to cohabit and appreciate each other, and may peace prevail in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, Ukraine, and everywhere where there are conflicts that only bring suffering.
Lucky Armenia. Rather Russian exiles boost your population, than the “doctors and engineers” who are swarming into Western Europe 👳🏽♂️🧕🏽👳🏽
These are "useful idiots".
No sympathy for them

The only Russians that run away are the liberal ones that has soft heart for America and is left wing liberal.
Russia is well off from them going elsewhere 😂
That’s not true… it’s mainly women and gay guys who are scared to fight.
The 19 year old guy needs to go back home if he has no money or job.
