These are a series of videos by Sergey, a Russian fellow who left the country after the mobilization. He fled to Mongolia. Hard choice to have to make.
The first video shows him crossing the border at Borzya and taking a taxi for a night-time trip across the steppes to Choibalsan in Mongolia. The city is the site of an important battle in the 1930s. In the large battle General Zhukov defeated the Japanese forces, which turned them from pushing into Siberia towards SE Asia instead. In the second video he tours Choibalsan a bit and then, in the third, he's back on the road as he heads to Ulan Bator.
He's low on money, doesn't know the language, has diarrhea and the temperature is 17° F. Tough life being a refugee -- I wish him luck.
