“I see no reason to defend my homeland when no one attacked it.” Since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, a torrent of Russian newcomers has arrived in Dubai — no longer seeking refuge from bitter winters, but from war and international sanctions.
from Russia’s federal statistics agency shows that between July and September, some 277,000 of its citizens traveled to the Emirates — more than three times as many as compared with the same period in 2019, before the pandemic.Olesya Sabra, an English teacher from southern Russia, arrived just days before the war broke out, seeking a fresh start in a sunny spot near the sea. She quickly set up a network of nearly 300 students, mostly from the marina and other upscale neighborhoods.
But the UAE’s fast and loose quest for growth has spurred some criticism. In March, the Paris-based intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force placed the UAE on itsof countries not doing enough to combat money laundering and illegal financial activities. The UAE has said it is committed to working with the FATF toward improvement. Either way, thanks to cryptocurrency, Russians in Dubai say they have no problem moving funds, even if sanctions mean most of their bank cards don’t work.
Tulinov, the tattoo artist, has more modest aims. Like many new arrivals, he didn’t wait around to see if he’d received a draft card. For others, Dubai is simply a stopover. At one cafe in the marina, a half-dozen Russian men in their 20s had breakfast before logging on for remote work. All had plans to avoid military service if they received what they called “the invitation.”“In Moscow I felt pressure all around me, every day you are waiting for something bad to happen,” said Bogdan, 27, an IT worker who spoke on the condition that he be identified only by his first name for fear of reprisals.
