Some prospective migrants complain about high immigration in their own countries or what they see as declining living standards, he says.
Pot calling the kettle black.
man I wish we could convince the entire GOP to go. imagine that timeline…
Obvious aside, who thinks moving to a country where you can’t speak to anyone would get them in touch their culture? How would you know what the culture was osmosis?
Play with fire, get burned.
Devout religious people… Lol
Whenever these morons move to Russia, they improve the average IQs of both countries.
Russia is the perfect country for the MAGA fucknuts. I’m surprised Ben is not serving as canon fodder on the front. 224 idiot Germans moved to Russia, WTF! Stay there and do not return.
Matter of time. Once they’re no longer useful for the propaganda machine, that is.
That’s right. They should stay there for a bit, get conscripted, and then get killed in Ukraine. Fucking pieces of shit.
This article inspired me to check and Teddy Boy Greg (the disgruntled white power barber with a ton of ridiculous facial tattoos who moved to Russia to get away from what he called “degenerates”) has recently died in Ukraine
you got a source for that? I’ve been lookin’ but I can’t find any news about him less than 2 years old.
On his Instagram fanpage in the comments people were posting RIP and some dude was gloating saying he died at Potrovsk in March according to some Telegram or something that popped up when I searched him up but not like an journalist’s article or anything that credible. I took it at face value but I guess it could be trolling albeit one really easy to contest
What a nice patch of sunflowers he’ll make.
Ilja Belobragin, general managing partner at Move To Russia, a company which helps foreigners relocate to Russia, says something he frequently hears from his clients is that they “don’t recognise the community around me anymore”.
Some prospective migrants complain about high immigration in their own countries or what they see as declining living standards, he says.
Let’s break this down: The people say they “don’t recognise the community around [them] anymore” because of “high immigration”, so they decide to become an immigrant surrounded by people of a different nationality than them.
As I see it, this is for one specific reason only: I don’t believe it’s the different cultural values from immigration that bothers them (they are literally moving into a wholly foreign culture; although I’m sure the Orthodox church gives some perverse appeal), but I believe they are bothered by ethnicity/skin colour. I believe these people are racists more than they are xenophobes.
I believe, for these people, Russia is a better alternative only because they have a certain perception of white-skinned Russians. I don’t think these people are aware of places like Tuva, or Yakutia, or Chechnya - and I don’t think they would ever visit those places. To say their quiet part out loud, I think these “conservatives” are just people who are white supremacists, moving because it’s a “white country” in their eyes, and thinking all white people have some shared essence. This is how they can justify to themselves being a foreigner in a foreign land. How else could they justify it to themselves?
From what I’ve read in the past, a lot of them are just really homophobic.
Russia’s been running a massive propaganda campaign in Europe and the US for more than a decade. Including slandering the LGBT and trying to associate them with illegal activities, promoting Christian orthodoxy over atheism, depicting Europe as degenerate and failing, demonizing immigrants and trying to frame them as criminals etc.
The people who move to Russia thinking they are upgrading their lives are few according to this article, but I’m still surprised by how these people completely ignored how authoritarian and destitute that country is. Germans moving to Russia thinking it’s the better place to be is a huge propaganda victory for the latter.
- Not really very different to the promises of great new lives made to people joining ISIS
- Oh the irony of becoming a migrant elsewhere whilst complaining about migrants at home.
Nonono, he is not an immigrant, he is an expat. HUGE difference! Just ask the British pensioners in Spain and southern France!
Ah yes, I know a few of those including a family we grew up with. After moving to Cyprus they became quite the voice about how terribly it was going in the UK. Piss heads
My schadenfreude is through the roof
Schadenfreudegasm
I wonder if he’ll be drafted
Within weeks of arriving, Leo says they were defrauded of 5 million roubles – about £52,000 ($66,000) – by a contact they trusted, leaving them homeless.
Although he is committed to staying in Russia out of a sense of “destiny”, he now says he misses the freedoms that have shaped the American personality.
“[In] Russia you don’t have these human rights values.”
he is committed to staying in Russia out of a sense of “destiny”
More like “density”.
Human rights? I thought that was “woke” /s
He means for white straight cis people only. How could you enjoy your rights otherwise?
I guess credit to them for following through but now they’re in the Find Out phase.
Conservatives, tankies should really be careful for what they wish for.

It’s kinda like when you see a dog barking behind a window, and it immediately calms down when you open it.
Russia is the greatest country in the entire world… Until they have to live there.

Worried about immigration and poor living standards? Become an immigrant in Russia! Conservatives aren’t great at thinking things through.
things through
If there are that stupid let them.
If we get rid of those idiots that way, why should we complain? I mean, there are enough sources of information to see how a county is. If you only rely on state-issued propaganda and you fall for it, don’t expect any sympathy.
