“The problem of personnel outflow exists. It was quite massive at the end of February – beginning of March, when the “herds” of IT people, not sorting out the road, rushed somewhere, ”Kasperskaya noted, she is quoted by RIA Novosti.

She acknowledged that in Russia there is a problem of outflow of personnel in the IT field. To fix this, the authorities need to take “propaganda and reassurance measures,” Kasperskaya added. She did not rule out that the experts “sit, sit and come back.”

The outflow of IT specialists from Russia was also commented on by the TV presenter of the 60 Minutes program Evgeny Popov. He stated that the mass exodus of skilled workers from Russia was “a very unpleasant figure.” According to various sources, 50-70 thousand IT specialists have already left the Russian Federation, the Russian Association for Electronic Communications (RAEC) reported.

The association also predicted the departure of up to 100 thousand IT specialists from the Russian Federation in April, noting that only expensive tickets, expensive housing, as well as the attitude towards Russians and the lack of financial connectivity are holding back the second wave.

The day before, it was reported that the Ministry of Digital Development had prepared measures to support the IT industry – a three-year exemption from income tax and inspections, a deferment from conscription, tax preferences.
