  • Applicants may include those from countries unaligned with “Russian spiritual and moral values.”
  • The application process has been simplified, and visas will be issued as soon as next month.

    russia is not conservative at all, but it is a fascist police state without 1st, 2nd, in fact all amendments I’ve checked up to the 10th, so they’re going to love it, I guess.

      Their Facebook feeds will be absolutely hilarious.

      “They aren’t respecting my second amendment rights!!” As they live in a completely different country…

      Well, most countries aren’t going to have the same constitutional rights as the USA has. In the same way, the US doesn’t give their citizens the same rights as those in other countries receive. As such, I’m not sure if there’s too much point comparing the two.

      Otherwise. Yes, it’s not going to be a nice place to live, and anyone that chooses this option has only themselves to blame when they realise they made a deal with the leopard that has a history of biting faces off.

          Arend also highlighted the former Soviet Union’s perceived “strength” to “stand up against Western pressures” and its ability to shield their family from ideologies they found objectionable.

          “Other countries are under the Western influence and wouldn’t be able to stand up against it,” he claimed.

          “Western chauvinist” to “eastern chauvinist” speed run any%

          I’m not sure if that story is onionesque or real. Now, that uncertaintly is a problem with the modern world.

          Ok those people are dumb. But is the Russian government really hard up enough to steal the value of a Canadian farm from some yokels? Or more likely it’s some lower level corrupt officials. Come for the conservative ideals, stay for the corruption and scams.

        My comment was about the irony them “escaping” to have freedom of speech, gun freedom and trial by jury of their peers to a country that has none of those, not being a bad place to live. It’s not about “other countries”. Other countries can do whatever they want.

        (yea, I think I commented in the wrong thread, this was meant to go on the other one where magats ponder moving to russia)

        the US doesn’t give their citizens the same rights as those in other countries receive.

        The U.S. doesn’t give their citizens the same rights that the U.S. constitution has.

          You mean the same rights guaranteed by the constitution? Or you mean the rights of the document itself? Like no flash photography or stored in a climate controlled box or something like that?

          Not just bread, fresh bread! In many varieties! Something you would never see in one of those filthy American supermarkets with their shelves stocked with nothing but stale loaves of Wonder Bread.

    If they’re going to treat anyone nicely it’ll be the first wave of people to sign up for this amazing plan, so as to encourage others to follow. Go sign up right now, haters of Western Liberal Ideals!

    Oh please let this happen, the alt right fleeing to Russia thinking they’ll have better lives only to get shoved into a shitty overcrowded apartment or forced to work on a farm with 19th century farming technology would be the funniest fucking thing.

      None of this will happen. They will be sent directly to the front ending up as fertiliser for Ukrainian ground like the rest of the Russian military.

    You can have 'em!

    The reality is Putin is attempting two genocides, one in Ukraine and one in Russia. He has purged undesireables from liberals and independent media to the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minorities, political opposition, boisterous oligarchs, prisoners, and so forth… He and his Rasputin, Aleksandr Dugin, believe they can create a stronger Russia by making it a more pure one. But good luck with that lol.

    Putin be like, “Watch me speed-run becoming North Korea, stuck in the past and global pariah.”

    One only needs to prove their worth through an indeterminate amount of non-optional military service time.
