‘I’m hanging between worlds’: couple who fled Russia toy with returning

Anna and her husband left after Putin’s mobilisation. She tells of difficulties in Turkey and potential dangers of moving back

A few months after leaving Russia, I came back to Moscow. We’re still figuring out what to do. We’re considering moving back to Russia because we can’t afford living in Turkey, since the rouble has become much weaker.

But it’s not safe. There could be another mobilisation at any moment, and we worry my husband could be drafted because he has an engineering background.
