1I think this answer misses the point a little: The problem is the field of study, especially after this became public, German universities have probably become more cautious. I guess the primary decision OP has to make is if it is more important to get out (stay out) of Russia or to do a PhD in that specific area.– ercCommented Oct 20, 2022 at 6:10

@erc You sum it up pretty well - IMHO, they have several options: either find some country more willing to go ahead with them pursuing it (China would be the most obvious option here but given the context, they might get a measure of personal comfort but there are obvious problems with this decision; oddly, USA might be more receptive also), be willing to sacrifice their field of study (likely the least contentious), or go back to Russia (the worst option for OP).– LodinnCommented Oct 20, 2022 at 7:18

2But the reason I'm "missing the point" here is that assuming for a moment OP is willing to not pursue their chosen academic track for a while or even at all - and I'd argue they should be definitely considering this - it still leaves them with a logistical nightmare right now. They thought they had a job lined up for them and now are in a foreign country without money, documents or job prospects. They don't have the luxury of mulling over decades-spanning decisions and must focus on making ends meet first.– LodinnCommented Oct 20, 2022 at 7:22

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
