Abstract
In Russian society, emigration can, to a considerable extent, be considered a "brain drain." Until recently, it was mostly the countries of the near abroad that were involved. It had been thought that the "brain drain" problem had come up unexpectedly—first for the USSR and then for Russia. Nevertheless, emigration has a history that began long ago. Emigration fosters the exchange of ideas, experience, and abilities, and it helps a particular country to become integrated in the world community. History reveals that in earlier times persons who went abroad were sent by the tsar to pursue an education. This practice became especially extensive during the time of Peter I, when several dozen young people were in various cities of Europe at the same time, mastering the rudiments of Western science.
