Putin has decided that Russia is going to be a 'safe haven' for people who want to trade liberal Western ways for Russian 'moral values'
The Foreign Ministry will be offering three-month visas as early as next month, Russian state media said.
- Putin has signed a decree that Russia will welcome foreigners who want to escape Western liberal ideals.
- 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.
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
Shhh, They THINK Putin's Russia is a conservative utopia so don't crush their dreams.
But they have bread...and shopping carts!
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.
Ok, ok, bread culture is generally better in most of Europe.
Sandwich loaves didn't even cross my mind :/
All I know is I would never pick up and sniff a flithy American loaf of bread.
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.
Sometimes clickbait is so bad that it's good again
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.
...it didn't occur to them to even start learning Russian before they went?!
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.
LOL
_Arend also defended their portrayal of Russia as a country with a free press, prompting challenges from viewers to critique Russian leadership and ongoing conflicts. _
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)
Yeah, my point is, comparing them to constitutional amendments doesn't make too much sense for the rest of us.
But you know, I think they do have trial by jury. Just, I think like the elections there, the jury gets told the result, before they decide it.
If they want to own guns, no problem. The government will supply them, and even provide transportation to a place they can use them. (I hope the /s is implied here).
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?
Yeah, I meant "guaranteed"
Their Facebook feeds will be absolutely hilarious.
"They aren't respecting my second amendment rights!!" As they live in a completely different country...
