Number of people

Several reports suggest that a number of people in Britain are considering relocating to Russia, as reported by FrontPageDetectives.com. This drastic move is partly motivated by Vladimir Putin’s invitation that elevates traditional values as a counter to what he refers to as the “woke West.”

“In the West, it seemed like they were just waiting for [Putin’s] document to appear – in the first 10 days alone, 17 citizens of Foggy Albion [Britain] wanted to move to us,” Tsargrad TV reported.

Thanking Putin
Since Putin’s announcement, 17 people have contacted Russian diplomats to inquire about fast-track residency permits, per DailyMail. “I feel like I’ve been put in an arch of safety. And it’s very important. Thank you so much,” one new resident of Russia said, thanking Putin.
Destructive neoliberal
The initiative aims to attract those who oppose “destructive neoliberal” ideologies, offering exemptions from immigration quotas and language requirements. “Tired of the liberal agenda – that’s how everyone who contacted the Russian diplomatic mission explained their decision,” Tsargrad TV noted.
Home countries
Some families, such as Americans Leo Lionel and Chantel Felice Haer and Canadians Arend Feinstra and his wife, have already relocated with their children, citing safety concerns and a desire to escape what they see as oppressive social ideologies in their home countries.
Allowing Russia
“Personally I want to thank your President Putin for allowing Russia to become a good place for families in this world climate,” Lionel said.
It is important
“It is important to emphasize that the peoples of these countries are not our enemies, but their governments, who have gone mad, are insane, and are imposing such policies,” MP Maria Butina said.
Agree with
Pro-Putin officials argue that many Westerners want to align their futures with Russia due to its emphasis on traditional family values and a different social climate. “We didn’t feel safe with our children there and for the future,” Canadian Arend Feinstra said of his decision to leave Canada. “There’s a lot of left-wing ideology, LGBTQ, trans, just a lot of things that we don’t agree with they teach there now.”
