In the third quarter of 2026, the number of Russian citizens traveling to Serbia, Georgia, and Armenia reached the highest level in the last 17 years. These countries are common destinations for Russians emigrating due to opposition to the war. This is reported by Verstka, citing statistics from the Russian Federation FSB Border Service.
In the third quarter of 2026, 402.3 thousand Russians traveled to Armenia.
For comparison, the previous record was registered in the third quarter of 2025, when 344.7 thousand Russian citizens arrived in Armenia—57.6 thousand fewer than in the same period of 2026.
As in the cases of Serbia and Georgia, since 2010 no third quarter saw as many Russians traveling to Armenia as in 2026.
