Following the initial exodus of up to a million Russians in the aftermath of the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine, a significant number are now returning to Russia. This reverse migration, which is attributed to challenges such as difficulties with residency permits and financial issues, is seen as a propaganda victory for President Vladimir Putin and is contributing to a boost in Russia's war economy. Reports indicate that between 40% and 45% of those who left in 2022 have returned. This influx of returnees is also linked to Russia's economic growth, which saw an increase of 3.6% in 2023.
