The research explores the «feeling of home» among young Russian emigrant couples following the onset of Russian military activity in Ukraine in February 2022. The study utilizes a qualitative methodology, employing in-depth interviews to explore the narratives of these couples. It examines the motivations behind emigration, conceptualizations of 'home', the strategies used to reconstruct a sense of home in their host countries, and the ways shared experiences of migration contribute to the reconstruction of the 'feeling of home' for Russian emigrant couples.
