The war in Ukraine will last two years (2014 - 2016). Then WW3 will start. Also, according to Russian Orthodox Christian Wjatscheslaw Krascheninnikow (Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov): Humans were created about 7500 years ago. Demons grow human skin and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. The government provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, scream: "JESUS!!!" Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)Moon 2)Inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)In lake Baikal in Russia 4)In Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets.
This is a too vague question. If you don't want to hear about the economic and social effects of it then what do you want to hear? Some particular stories? Well, e.g. this "... graphene was first reliably produced in the lab in 2004 by Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov at the University of Manchester..."
people have become free in the sense that we pretty much can do or say much, like criticizing the government. Slavery is still around, human sex trade, sweatshops. But now the slaves can live nicely physically while they sell their intellectual knowledge to the right entity. America owes much to the Nazi scientist that gave us our technological edge, the Soviets regret they didn't get the best ones. Basically knowledge prostitution instead of sexual prostitution.
Your dissertation is due in 3 weeks and you still haven't picked a topic? LOL.
Is this what you want to hear? Other countries must grant Visas to Russian citizens in order for them to work there.
Suppose a carpenter wants to work in USA, make $40,000 and come back to Russia with $40,000. NO VISA!
Suppose a nuclear engineer wants...VISA GRANTED!
or to work in Germany, or Israel, or England...
"argument on Nuclier Weapons ( how the scientist were terminated from their jobs in Russia, and get jobs in the U.S., Israel and other western counties)" - what are you talking about? Those who had access to such a projects signed a paper that they have no right to leave Russia for years. Access to simplest things like permit to ENTER the BUILDING where secret data are POSSIBLY stored or discussed leads to 5 years of prohibition to leave the country (if person likes to travel, he will never agree to have any deals with secret materials). Those who had/have anything to real security data - nobody knows what they sign and what limitations they are ready to follow.
So, sorry, your idea has nothing to do with real life.
Other scientists (with regular, non secret jobs, like workers of university laboratories etc...) migrate, but their stories are not that "hot".
Unfortunately, there is nothing unique in absolute majority of stories nowadays. People just move in search of higher salaries (including moving back).
If you like something interesting, you can write about political refugees among Russian businessmen. But be ready, these stories are VERY fishy. Western press shows them exclusively as victims of scary Putin. But it looks like the truth is much more complicated (I doubt you will find alternative points of view in English press).

Law On rules of leaving USSR (was in power in Russia after USSR disintegration till 1996):

read article 7
In USSR times there were no considerable brain drain, so you should analyze time after its disintegration till nowadays.
Interesting article here:
http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/1953656
they mention cases of Arkadii Bartik and Sergey Soltysyak, who applied to European Court of Human Rights and wanted Russia to cancel limitations on leaving the country for those who had access to state secrets. ECHR decided that Russia should not prohibit people from leaving the country. Russia did not agree to implement these decisions. Then there was another case of Alexander Ilichenko. He asked Supreme court of Russia to cancel the ban and issue him travel passport. The Court decided that rule is not against Russian constitution and it will not exclude the ban from its legislation.
You can brouse archives of ECHR and might find something interesting about these cases.
