150,000 people annually leave RF over annexation of Crimea - Sobchak

The candidate for the presidency of Russia noted that most of the challenges posed to Russia are the consequence of the "return" of Crimea

"In 2014, just as Russia has annexed Crimea, the number of emigrants from the country reached the level of 1995, and since then 150000 people leave the country every year. Moreover, most of them are young or middle-aged people with higher education from economically sound regions. And all this, we will not deceive ourselves, happened because of Crimea"
