By taking them in you reduce the level of fighting ability Russia has. Every fighting age person to leave is one they cannot field.
So while it maybe hard to stomach the idea of taking people who are only leaving to save there own skin, its still a reduction to Russia.
the biggest issue would be letting people in who are not fleeing but are conspirators trying to get into other countries to cause trouble.
Edit: There is the flip side, if by blocking the rich from leaving, you force the rich families to take a stand which may or may not help.
