Due to military mobilisation, I bet there's travel restrictions from Russia. 
They're alread telling those who took off for Europe and countries such as
Georgia they will be jail or executed if they return to Russia.  If they get
thrown in prison, the Wagner group will swoop them up and send them to the
Ukraine for cannon fodder.

Regarding buying land or condos, large construciton firms are building modern
apartments like crazy in China, and there doesn't appear to be a demand for
the high end dwellings.  In Tblisi, Georgia the Chinese built large
apartments surrounded by strip malls and economic districts, and the building 
are vacant or mostly empty.
