As of October 4 the figures are 171000 not including the 261000 crossing into Kazakhstan and the two Russians who sailed a boat to Alaska and asked for asylum:

More than 93,000 Russians have crossed into Georgia in two weeks, according to the Russian news outlet Fontanka. An earlier search by Newsweek found that six miles of traffic had built up at Russia's border with Georgia the morning after Putin's announcement.

Last week, the European Union reported that 66,000 Russians had arrived in the EU, with the majority of citizens entering the bloc through Finnish and Estonian border crossing points.

By October 2, at least 12,000 Russians had entered Mongolia, according to border officials.

Add in those flying to Yerevan, Dubai, Baku, etc and you get close to 700k. This is talent hemhorrage that's even better than sanctions. Mobilization is a sanctions own goal.

If Forbes Russia were pro western it would have already been shut down.
