Thanks for the tips Andrew!

Do you have any advice if you're looking to move to a country where you don't speak the native language (Russia in my case)?
Any idea how many tech companies would speak English at the office? Probably doesn't help that I'll be looking for a junior position too.

Aidan, the specialists willing to move to Russian-speaking countries are in very high demand now. Such countries can boast growing markets and lots of product companies, along with low taxes. Try searching vacancies on jobs.dev.by/ or jobs.dou.ua/. Not all companies there offer visa sponsorship, but some of them certainly do. You should contact the recruiters directly.

As for English, developers in Russian-speaking countries are gradually learning it :) Unfortunately, that's not enough to forget about language barriers yet. For smoother relocation, it's better to be a middle/senior developer. However, nothing is impossible — due to high demand, you still can find something appropriate for you.
