Refusing Putin's war: The Russians fleeing to Kazakhstan | 101 East Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 кві 2023
- Hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled their homeland since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in February 2022.
Afraid they could be sent to fight, some left by car, bicycle, even by foot, crossing into neighbouring Kazakhstan just hours after President Vladimir Putin ordered a military mobilisation.
Others decided to flee due to fear they could be punished for speaking out against the war.
Kazakhstan has largely welcomed the sudden influx, but for many new arrivals, the future is uncertain.
101 East meets young Russians opposed to the war in Ukraine who are starting new lives in Kazakhstan.

Cowardly traitors
Grazie per il vostro servizio. La vostra è una voce molto importante.
@@terahndlovu6571 I assume that impolite response was intended for Al Jazeera English - if intended for me personally - I am a World War II child so don't think I don't know what was going on in the world all these years of my very long life while you imply nothing was known by me if I am the target of your ire - you probably weren't even born 'til the mid 70/80's or even later. I do not write for Al Jazeera English nor do I speak for their messages.
If the IT guy needs work, i saw Ukraine was actually looking for IT specialists. They'd also receive Ukrainian citizenship if hired. Just a thought.
also in thailand lots of people running away from putins war
Why?
@@sahibzadasafi1701 would you like to go to war and die
@Sahibzada Safi there's alot of Russian in Thailand running away from putins war thailand is cheap and great country
@Ebrahim that's Burma bro not thailand

WELL DONE PEOPLE OF KHAZISTAN FOR MAKING THESE RUSSIAN PEOPLE SO WELCOME...FROM LIVERPOOL UK 🇬🇧🌻❤
Go and educate yourself..
There’s no country as “Khazistan” tho🤥
Nobody welcoming them
@@Heygens Ah, now don't you have a hissy fit because the barbaric Russian military is incompetent.
Meanwhile this "poor russianz" in Khazachztan: "kasahs and russians are one nation, north of Khazahstan belongs to ruzzia, kazahs lenguage doesn't exist" and so on.....poor kazahs😢
It is difficult too for us Kazakhstani people. Prices rised rapidly due to everything was exported from Russia before, also not enough accommodation... People here much poorer than russians . But we understand that one soldier who will not go to the war saves lives. Also there is a fear that not all people are friendly and respect our independence (((
im Russian and for the last 7 months I live and work in Astana. I am incredibly grateful to all the people of Kazakhstan, you are so friendly and welcoming to foreigners. I now have good friends here and they help me to learn the language and culture.
@Oinochoe and we understand that especially you will teach your children to respect others' rights and respect others' culture and that Kazakhstani people want to live peaceful lives in contrast to what russian propaganda says
@@oinochoeas long as you respect Islam and the Kazakhstani culture which gave you refuge. I have no issue with you. I only wish there were more so called contentious objectors like yourself when your barbaric people invaded Afghanistan. But alas it is what it is. You will find no sympathy for the likes of me. But you will not find an enemy either.
Agree. All prices are ramped up and making life harder now. But we are luckier than Ukrainian friends 😢 who are paying lives...
Russia is threatening to all neighbors...
This is not cowardice or betrayal, it’s intelligence. Why should these people give their lives because of an insane dictator’s ideology.
You can't betray a dictator. Any actions against a dictator are simply acts of rebellion, not treason, no matter how hard his boot lickers will scream "treason"
Yeah, that's just trick from stupid putin supporters to send to Ukraine cannon fodders as many as they can
Such beautiful people. They've so much to offer the world. Why can't they have leaders who want to collaborate with other people in the world, instead of trying to destroy everyone else who disagree with them?
What are you talking about? Trump & his "genius" friend, Comrade KGB Col. Putin, Comrade Xi, and Comrade Kim.... the four GREAT LEADERS all want to return their respective countries back to the early to mid 1900s, the best & most peace loving decades in the world!
Would be a lovely would. But PooRot putin wants to destroy Ukraine completely and move on to whatever other countries he feels like destroying
putin just sicko kidnapper Russian terrorist
Молодцы! Жить надо своей жизнью, а не как дядя велит. Жить это здорово, даже если ты беженец, жизнь не оканчивается, зато свобода начинается😊
Are you from Russia or not?
Do you think to leave from Russia because of the war and putinism?
А нормальную жизнь в своей стране построить не пробовали? На все готовоенькое, как всегда
@@nadiyadv5306 They were trying hard before the war and they were successful. Alas, their country does offer them NO LIFE nowadays, only DEATH. Either Putin sends them themselves to die for him in war, or he sends their beloved and breadwinners to be killed there. Why should they die for the warmonger who wants to kill more and more people and destroy & occupy more and more land not belonging to Russia?
The rich Russians go on holiday while their army bombs Ukraine, kills, robs, and rapes people
Recently in Bulgaria I see more and more cars with Russian and Belarusian registration plates…. You can notice them everywhere in the cities , in the villages around the country …
Lol lies, even Afghanistan refugees ran away from bulgaria. What you're seeing are the ukronazis.
Well possible they r on the rest here
I'm guessing they're expensive cars
Great documentary! Could feel the pain & suffering of these uprooted people, may God bless these innocent people with safety and happiness.
Ukraine people suffering more than these russians. They are living in good conditions and environment. There nothing to complain
Kazakhstan: Land of the free, home of the brave.
The more Russian kuffar let in. The less that it so.
Long live Borat.
These Russians have my total respect, better to leave than fight for Vladmir Putler.❤💙💛
What about staying and fighting against him and changing their country instead of running away like the problem doesn't exist I think it's cowardly.
I met plenty of Russian men fleeing the draft last September in Kyrgyzstan. Many of them did support Putin's war to retake Ukraine. They just didn't want to go to the front line and got kill.
@Clarkké Peterson what an ignorant and privileged comment
@@badmonkey2222 how about you fighting your govt instead?
not all humans are born to fight.
for a god sake, leave these poor people alone.

High quality documentary. Great reporting. I wish all these good Russian people to do well and be safe. My friend has also left Russia for Kazakhstan. Let's hope they all can go home soon. The Russian war mongering dictator can't hold out for much longer...fingers crossed. Cheers from the Netherlands.
How many innocent people did you Dutch genociders murder in Indonesia, Surinam, North America, etc? At least a few million! You treated the Indonesians like slaves!! Not only that, most of you cowards collaborated and helped the na-zis on the eastern front, thousands of you even joined the SS!! 🤦♂️
They should stay and oppose. Them leaving adds more life to Poo's regime.
@@freespiritable That's easy for you to say. Many of the protesters we're conscripted and thus forced to fight in the war or be shot. The Asian lady could get 15 years in jail if she is deported. these people are in a terrible situation.
@@ant-space exactly. There's no opposition because there can't be. Its such a crazy thing hard for anyone living in a free society to even comprehend. All opposition is squashed immediately..
@@freespiritable sorry to say I disagree - he is running out of young men to send off to their deaths - before long he will be sending women in place of the men he no longer has.
Reminds me of Vietnam War and USA
Young men fled to Canada to dodge draft. The ones that went to war came back screwed up once they realized what the war was about. Good for these young men. How I wish all humans would refuse to pick up a gun and fight.
I watch some of these documentaries. The resemblance is a bit scary.
bright people refusing to kill are always welcomed❤
Rahmet
Maybe calling them dissidents is too big a word for what they are as there is a difference between being against that war as a matter of principle and not wanting to get drafted to fight in it.
When you see no future for yourself in a fascist dictatorship, why stay?
Can't it be both in same time?
I really enjoyed this documentary It showed various look of Russians.……ordinary Russians, who don’t feel that it is their war and how they are settling down and what they are struggling with finding a new life. Thanks.!
I fled to Kazakhstan too, but I live in Astana now. I happens to know Dima personally, we lived in the same city, he is very talented and smart guy, im glad he is ok
It is not only sanctions that will cause the collapse of the Russian federation, it is the loss of hundreds of thousands of some of the most productive people. Not just a brain drain, a cultural and energetic draining of what keeps a society prosperous and alive. I can only hope that one day these people and their fellow citizens can go home to rescue and rebuild the shattered country that the dictatorship created. Thank you for the documentary Al Jazeera. Beautiful music brings hope at the end :)
We don’t the traitors back
*These people are an empty place for Russia and we do not expect them back, many thanks to them for leaving!*
How joyfully speaking about a collapse. What a good and kind person. So happy about destruction only some unnecessary hypocrisy about rebuilding. As you are rebuilding Libya and Syria, right?
@@user-ue4mc6qp6v they are peace loving people who had enough of communism, you're country is doomed, russia will fall and become economically enslaved by the chinese 😂
@@UltraTotenkopf goodluck to you, you're time on the Frontline is decided.. rest in peace 😂
why die for the Imperialistic dreams of Putin.....? come on will you die for the dream of a 70 years old dictator?
Should of done something about Putin 16 years a go at least
They all did it , history is just repeating itself. Do you remember America with it's weapons of mass destruction, never to be found.
So you’d rather die for corrupt western elites? If you think the west is any more Democratic than Russia you are truly fooling yourself. Besides would you rather be ruled by people who want to run a nation or by the winner of a popularity contest who only wins because he promises the most money to the people.
That goes for any of these so called leaders.
Why should any person become cannon fodder for the ego, selfish attitude of another
I will stand for Gog of Magog over the globohomos any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
Thank you Al Jazeera English for presenting this You Tube video to the world - it is sad and terrible that the Russian Federation has taken the actions it is using against Ukraine now and causing so many of its young people to leave their homeland because they fear being caught in a mobilization and sent to Ukraine where they most probably could die. No human being should have to make the choice these people have made to leave their homes, their families but to them life is more important. Thank You.
Пусть эти люди никогда не вернутся в Россию. Они кучка предателей (кроме детей, естественно). Только дурак до сих пор не понял причины этой войны...
Not just life.
Remember that they're also rejecting authoritarianism etc.
Russia is a authoritarian society now where even if you are *not* at danger of being drafted you don't have freedom of expression etc.
@@Luredreier what you write reminds me of the days when Stalin was in power ( I go way back to those days and remember well the world of the USSR) and he had 9,000,000 Russian civilians killed because, I assume "they were of no use to him".
@@rhh3582 that's why we know what Russia is and what Russian does they're no different now they'd always been barbarians they always will be the recent video cutting Ukrainian soldiers head off is perfect example of that.
@@rhh3582 In Soviet Russia, never let peacetime get in way of make use goodt vwartime slogan bllyaaat!!! "🤫не болтай!🤫" Has it returned, back in full effect? Or..🤔 it hadn't ever left at all?
let's hope the Russians get treated better in Kazakhstan than the Kazakhs (Tajiks, Kyrgiz etc) get treated by the Russians in Russia.
Clearly they are. It's pretty shameful to suck up to Russia still
Don't hold your breath.
Thank you for making this documentary of real people!
The music was beautiful, such a treat to listen to just fabulous. It gives hope for the future that people will live, thrive and survive. They will overcome and live for those Russian soldiers killed in this senseless war. Well done documentary. Good luck to those who are lonely and displaced, you are not alone.
What about living for all the Ukrainians killed by the Russian soldiers you speak of you mean the ones committing war crimes daily chopping off pows heads?? These are cowards running away when they should be staying and changing their country for the better not acting like the problem doesn't exist and just ignoring it and going to somebody else's country because they don't want them there next thing you know the Russians will be complaining about they are attacked there you can't trust them!!
That was some good music I enjoyed it.
@@chrisr8159 Me too. It would've been so sad if all in the band were forced to be killers instead playing the art they love.
I hope a famous music producer take this young band and help them with there music they sound great.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to thwart a bully.

Kudos to themmm... This is Putin's war, aint dying for other men's ego
I love your courage and dedication/. I am full of admiration for you and hope and pray that you will eventually feel safe and settled with good friends, and family reunited where possible. Much love from UK.
My heart goes out to all the people and individuals caught up in these crazy times. We must help them in anyway we can whether it is with the opposition to the war or in small ways, helping groups and individuals in need due to their circumstances.
I hope these traitors and cowards never return to Russia! If they were against the war, then why did they mod for 8 years when they killed the people of Donbass?
I most certainly wish that was something possible - but given the situation in the world today - nothing is possible. Were all people of all places on this planet to believe in their Almighty and his/her teachings this world may be what you wish for but people even fight over who is their Almighty vs the other persons Almighty. As long as there are people, and this is my personal opinion only and I speak/write for no one else but myself, since the beginning of the human race man has always been a fighter and that will never change and I am so sorry S S looking back to the first days of man, man has been a fighter and will always be a fighter. As long as one man wants more power than another man the world you want is not possible. I have always believed in hope, love, peace and brotherhood but those words no longer exist.
As one of the refugees, wanna thank you so much for this video.
what country do you stay after mobilization
The Kazakhs are brave Turkic Muslim people who have fought against Russian colonialism for centuries. In 1916, they revolted against military conscription and they also revolted against the Atheist Soviets who tried to confiscate their livestock.
Yes remained part of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union until both states failed 😂 so much for their “brave fight”
@@hydra8845 thisfucker is a fanatic muslim

rip to my father who passed suddenly about 3 weeks after his final YOU KNOW WHAT.
that being said I am glad he does not have to watch this war play out. my grandfather fled latvia when the russians burned the farm down . raped his sister, took his brother to the gulag, so what did grampa do? I am not 100% sure what he did to be honest I know he joined the army in latvia, he was captured on the front in France, he was dragging his best friend to surrender who was shot in his leg and he lost that leg they both became pow serving time in coal mine by sherwood forest , grampa always told me war time was something to be scared of and peace time was so sweet , I never really understood that. But now I see. he was a great man as my father was too.
I wish for this war to end now but I see a pattern of increase, there are no massive peace protests happening rather the contrary .
I hope these traitors and cowards never return to Russia!
This is Carey from Michigan. I really enjoyed this video! Yes, I understand it's hard to leave your country, but I'm glad you have found a place to stay. How wonderful you are together in a band.

Hi Carey! Can you help me move to the USA? Cos it’s not that safety here as it may seemed…
It’s not a big deal. Just a phone call.
Putin is crazy I’d be leaving to
I appreciate people who find a way that is better than the one what is present to them.
Life is a choice not a compromise. Good or Bad will happen you are on your own decision.
Thank you for this. Things like this have to be talked about to make the world understand that not all Russians think the same as putin.
Excellent coverage. Thanks.
lots of life lost. And so many families are broken because of war. How may. People are in sadness. Why these kind of leaders destroy the future and hopes of these people. You will only feel happy when your at peace. May the power of God reign at everyone.
loneliness , is it not the issue all refugees enconter ... at least they are welcome in kazakhstan . We fled to France from lebanon , in addiction to not knowing anyone and financial problems , we face racism at every level ...
Do you speak French already? My Lebanese friend speaks French although I don't think she's ever been there. I'm in USA. Are you really dark skinned or are they just discriminating due to employment? My friend is actually Armenian and that look is not too different in France at all cause of so much mixing.
It is true! Everyone speaks and understands russian language, Kazakh language is not strictly required. Even Russian politicians say that we are not loyal to Russian language. They just don't respect our independence, that we started to speak our own native language freely
Maybe nationalism? Because Lebanese and French are the same european race just different subgroup
In theory, if these men stay and start lives in Kazakhstan, it will be an economic boom for this country as young, healthy, educated, working age males join the workforce.
It's not really a theory. Like GDP in Armenia went 14% up due to similar circumstances and relocation of IT business from russia
@@EscapeFromRussia It's not a theory it's bs. GDP went 14% up not due to relocation of IT business, but simply due to tourism boost. Armenia has small economy it's a poor country with GDP of 14 billion dollars, compare it with Kazakhstan with GDP 200 bliion dollars.

literally everyone says all their relatives support the war yet the title says "Putin's war"
Would it started by itself? Would their relatives express such opinions without years of government brainwashing?

Excellent documentary. Many tend to forget that Russians are people. While many support the war, more don't. They need our help and sympathy.
No, at this point we shouldn’t justify because fleeding is not what they are expected to do. All of those just wait patiently when Ukraine wins and somehow the situation will be sorted out for them.

People want peace not war. Let them find freedom
There's no such thing as "finding" freedom. It must be fought for. It only exists anywhere that it exists because so many very brave determined people struggled, suffered, and sacrificed to make it happen. If there was ever a magnifying glass for that fact it's this barbaric war, as well as all of the thoroughly depraved Ruzzian actions over the past many decades leading up to this as all these folks simply kept out of the way to allow it.
Let find it in a non Muslim country. Russians owe us alot of Thier flesh. And the debt is still due.
I live in Hungary. There are many young men from Ukraine, who ran away from the war at the very beginning, while it was still possible . Sometimes I think, that probably they wouln't even be alive by now, if they stayed. It is terrible even to think about it.
Some are Asians - the population who have sent the most number of young men to die in this Ukraine invasion. So sad.
They are escaping mobilization, not conscription. The latter is not synonymous with the former.
lol what? are you dumb?
I can tell the bassist in the band is a serious player. He plays a Modulus 6 string bass that is very expensive even here in the US. It must have cost a fortune in Russia. Now hopefully nobody in Russia will ever be able to get their hands on an instrument like that.
I hope that all the good people and the brain power in Russia will abandon this dying empire and start fresh in a a place that isn't a dark and oppressive as Russia. Let Putin be stuck with the dregs of the society he has created.
I lived in Moscow in 1993. They had cool music instrument stores I'd go to. I'm a violist, but not talented on other instruments so I can't pick up on other instruments like a natural musician.
@@melonbobful but if the brain power is gone and only the stupid people are left maybe there are less capable of having a real impact on the rest of the civilized world. Hopefully they will just start fighting internally. I would be okay with that
Good work Al Jazzera👍
We faced some waves of young Russian relocates here in Kazakhstan. Everyone in the world knows how hard it is to live now and raise children, but the rising prices and worsening of quality of life is nothing in comparison to perspective to be sent to the war and die for nothing, to be forced to kill people. That’s why people of Kazakhstan accepted these young men and even young families with children. Each of these men here means he is not in Ukraine, means less Ukrainians suffer from war and stay alive, and this is what we agree with and want to support Ukraine in this way.
After seeing the band Quintopole struggling to make money from their music - we would suggest that they might record some English songs and post them on UA-cam.
They overflowed Kazakhstan we are really struggling because of high estate prices and job lack. Why they do not stay in their country and fight the regime instead overwhelming our economy
Has Yugenia launched her YT channel yet, The point of no return? Bc I can't find it on UA-cam, & I searched in English & Russian. If so, can yall link her channel?
So sad, Russia is losing the best of its youth to battle deaths or emigration ....
It must be hard to uproot your life and start over in a new country. Unfortunately, people the world over leave their countries due to political persecution and unrest. During the course of the Russian invasion into Ukraine, I have listened to many debates with historians and military experts. I am convinced that even if the Ukrainian Army defeats Putin, will that be the end of the war? Unless there is closure, Putin could build up a new army and attack Ukraine again in a year, or later. The only way to stop the war for the foreseeable future, is for the Russian people to rid themselves of the poisonous rhetoric and propaganda Putin has instilled into their brains, overthrow the totalitarian regime and rebuild their country for the people of Russia, not for the Oligarchs and Putin’s inner circle.
Murder is wrong. Killing not in self defense is murder. Why would they want to murder people who they considered to be brothers and sisters? These are decent human beings in a terrible situation.
The Time Has Come To Show People That Nobody is Nobody!
The right decision to leave their country.... Well done. ..

Not one Russian even attempted to speak in the Kazakh language.
They would if there was a need. I wouldn't do the same but I can understand why language is not their first priority when they need to secure residency and find a way to support themselves, while there are no issues with communication as russian language is still so engrained in kazakhstan, especially in cities and northern regions
@@user-co1gi7yd2r Right. Russia should invade to protect Russian speakers.
@@UniquelyCritical bullshit
why do they need to attempt since almost everyone speaks russian?
@@filimoniwe I guess you're right. Why should the Kazakh's try to keep their national identity, language and culture if Russia has already forced their culture, language and identity on their neighbor. Like they tried to do in Ukraine.
Al Jazeera did a great job!
Please can you do a fellow up story especially with the young russian band they sound great.
The people who call them traitors and cowards are those who can’t leave. When they are conscripted to war, they will be sorry they didn’t leave. Ukraine did not invade Russia .
Speaking objectively, they are traitors and cowards, as they abandoned their country (if we are talking not about the government, but about other people) and fled into the bushes.
If their psyche were stronger, then they would not run like that, but this is their upbringing and biology. There's nothing to be done (putting them in jail is a waste of resources)..
That's an oversimplification. There are divided families as we saw in the video. And there are many people from the old school who know how to keep quiet.
Some ppl always stay, I have all ways to leave Russia but I will stay till the end here
@@MsNinich If that makes you happy, go for it. But if they conscript you to kill innocent people, then you might be sorry.

Crossbirfer migrations don’t always bode well in terms of prospects to to refugees.
Ones that flee are smart the ones that stay are willing to be ending up in the battlegrounds.
All these Russians should be given visas to the West. We need more moral, hard working residents
Yep you want a bunch of people who are unwilling to fight for their country 😂
We welcome the Ukrainians not the Russians
@@hydra8845 Russia's not a country but a terrorist gas station
@@hydra8845 yes, they are smart people, unlike YOU
@@hydra8845 You mean for the Cannon Fodder's Army?
Kazakhstan, very nice!
very interesting video
I'd be running from a MAD MAN too.
One mans delusional dreams of an empire destroys for ordinary people.
Sick ambitions...
Yes it’s sick to let his countrymen be killed in a neighboring country. Just show how ignorant of the reasons of the war why don’t you
@@hydra8845 According to Putler, Ukraine isn't a country. The man is truly sick. The whole Kremlin mafia is evil. Can ordinary people actually be elected into the Kremlin, I wonder..
Very interesting....Does anyone know how I may be able to get in touch with Nikita? I may be able to help him out.
Why don't they fight against Putin?
War is for mad man only
And 80% of war waging Russians
I can see peaceful, cooperative and democratic Russia sometimes in future. It is in the hands of it's citizens whether and how they deal with the midget in high heels.
It will never happen, the citizens of this criminal and terrorist country most likely have it in their genes 🧬 to continue on this path. They have been like this in the past hundred years, are now destroying their neighbours and will always be like this, unless this cancer ♋️ is wiped off the planet 🌎
but there are no such citizens as they live in Kazakhstan 😅
@@qwertyqwerty-ss3jq they gotta learn how to exercise their democracy. I understand they have never had a chance in the history.
@@Filip333ify Russia had many chances in history and failed. In no time they will vote for another Putin .. its only question of time Putin will claim a piece of Kazachstan in order to protect these "discriminated" Russians ...
How “peaceful and democratic?” Like the US and Britain and France? The countries that have invaded, plundered, genocided, stolen, from hundreds of different countries!! The same war criminals who invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Lybia! 🤦♂️
Don't get me wrong I love this channel. So does my 82 yr father. Only problem is he can't read the closed captioning. I wish channels had a voice interpretation of video
Putin can’t last too much longer
When he has gone the people can rebuild their lives
Such brave people and an end to the war very soon
Brava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
These people have finally learned the "social contract" was not with the ordinary people of Russia.
The ordinary people have always been the currency, the payment - in the contract between the Kremlin, the oligarchs and the church; where they are allowed to become fat off exploiting the people, as long as they made the people do what the Kremlin wanted.
Do these people care about those who were not able to flee? Who were too poor, because of these people's privilege, these people who benefitted from Putin's reign, who never spoke out against oppression and corruption until it affected them? Did they care about Chechnya, Georgia, Afghanistan? They knew what Putin was like.
I was sympathetic to start, but then I remember there is a lot of "soft" pro-Russian/Putin/totalitarian programmes being put out by Al Jazeera. And I remember the coverage of widespread russian chauvinism and betrayal of the countries that took them in.
While news which should be told, I think this is a part of that soft pro-russian agenda. I hope those people take their privilege back and give it back to the country that gave it to them at the expense of the poor - to sorting out the rats nest rather than consuming the freedoms which they have not worked for, the hard work of others..
Exactly!
How true!
That's the pinpoint breakdown 👍
