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. | |

| Oct 20, 2022 at 6:10 | comment | added | erc | I 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. | |
