Don't forget the origin of the problem. That person wasn't afraid of border officers but of political situation, so if border officers wouldn't let her out where she would go for help? And who would help her. Answer this yourself

I have gone abroad for several times and have never had this problem. Do you know many situations like that? Is it common? And what is scaring in Russian political situation?

I guess you should ask that person. Can't go inside somebody's head

When I fly out of Sweden the border police always ask where I am going after they checked the passport.
I always respond honestly but it irritates me that they ask - it's my personal business. I have never been asked anywhere else.
