@Mauve_matelot I think they get an education to 18 but with parental permission they can drop out from 15. I think tertiary and higher education is common. I only personally know folks with a higher education. I share the MOD update each morning - they can be interesting.
@Mauve_matelot About 50% of those I worked with no longer live in Russia - they are now either in Australia, the US, Ireland or the UK. Working in IT opened doors to enable that movement.
@Mandypar thank you for responding, I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and those of the Russian people who you worked alongside.
