from the developed countries or purely from the old soviet bloc, countries that remain largely undereducated and underdeveloped? Estonia, for example.

i don't have the hard data in front of me but I'd be willing to bet you that more have emigrated from ethiopia alone in the last five years than all of europe combined, even if you include russians from continental asia.

Furthermore I'd also bet that if you calculated the percentages, eastern european emigre's emigrate to european countries on a far greater scale than they do to the us.
