Unicorns fart glitter.
For clarity, conscientious objection should be respected but that’s obviously not (as far as I can see) the case in Russia. It is though true that polling demonstrated overwhelming public support for the ‘special operation’ against the Ukrainian people.

Given this is the case I don’t think anyone can assume that everyone trying to flee Russia is a conscientious objector- many will be cheerleaders and supporters of the Z action movie and it’s just that they were happy to cheer the action heroes but god forbid they would have to join the cast. A quick look at their mobile phones would find out which category of objector they were and if the phone is new and they’ve never used the internet before, they’d have a job to do to convince their host country.
Of course sons of the Nomenklatura won’t be queuing at the border to get out- they’ll have got off a flight in Dubai by now.
