SocietyHow a Russian émigré rebuilt her life in Armenia after leaving with little money

English teacher Elmira Drau says she and her husband left Russia for Armenia in 2022 after she was reported over an antiwar comment. They had no jobs or contacts in Yerevan and relied on money from selling their car. Drau later started income-earning projects, helps stray animals and is writing a book about emigration.
