 1">What does it mean when a social movement has to physically relocate to c
 ontinue its advocacy? This “movement” of movements has been underway since 
 Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022\, raising a host of issues <span class
 ="searchHighlight">for</span> Russian social movements. In past research\, 
 we identified several broad trends in Russian civil society prior to the wa
 r\, which we labeled enduring\, evaporating\, <span class="searchHighlight"
 >and</span> adapting <span class="searchHighlight">for</span>ms of activism
 . Here we examine a new trend in Russian civil society – escaping. We consi
 der how social movement theory can shed light on the dilemmas faced by Russ
 ian civil society groups using examples from feminist <span class="searchHi
 ghlight">and</span> environmental activism\, <span class="searchHighlight">
 and</span> ef<span class="searchHighlight">for</span>ts opposing Russia’s w
