The war in Ukraine has prompted a shift in Russian families’ migration strategies, with giving birth abroad becoming a route to a second citizenship and eventual emigration. Following Argentina's tightened regulations, Brazil is emerging as a popular destination for Russian women seeking to give birth and secure future opportunities for their families. Obtaining Brazilian citizenship for a child can open pathways for the entire family to emigrate. This trend highlights a growing desire among Russians to seek alternatives outside of Russia amid the ongoing conflict and associated political climate. The change in destination reflects a search for countries with more accessible citizenship laws. The initial preferred location, Argentina, has become less viable, driving increased interest in Brazil.
