Half of the Russian scientists who left the country publicly opposed the invasion of Ukraine: they posted online and signed an open letter against the war. In the past 18 months, at least 21 Russian economists, 27 computer scientists, 34 physicists and mathematicians, 15 biologists, and 17 philologists left the country.

Professors are experts on a very specific fraction of a scientific topic, even losing one as I said - might close down an entire research branch. And as you said - Russia already has a problem with corruption, so not many scientist have to leave to shut down what is left of research.
