According to RBC with reference to the report, the migration outflow will primarily occur in regions with low incomes and a weak social support system, with an underdeveloped infrastructure.

Also, subjects with high employment in the services sector (they were most affected by the crisis) and with proximity or convenient transport links to more developed regions will be subject to this.

According to experts, the most serious scale of the outflow of economically active population is expected in Chuvashia, Bashkiria, Omsk, Samara and Nizhny Novgorod regions. 

Earlier, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) predicted a decrease in Russia's GDP in 2020 by 4.5%.
