It sounds like she just decided to move to Russia after visiting and enjoying the lifestyle. Law is a great, highly respected profession in Russia, and you pretty much have to study it there as their system is significantly different from the US/English Common Law.

I spent a year and a half in Russia (2017-2018) and had a hard time making the decision to come back to the USA. The slightly older-fashioned lifestyle and general personal liberty that the average person can have is very attractive, especially if you live outside of a giant city.

I'm actually in Russia right now, for a nice summer vacation (had to skip last year because of CCP virus).

Fair point...maybe there are some innocent people who go over there as I hear it’s a nice place, at least if you’re not planning on being a revolutionary.

“general personal liberty that the average person can have is very attractive”

I’m not doubting what you say at all, but to someone who grew up in the cold war that statement is mind boggling when you’re comparing it to the U.S. What a sad state of affairs we are in.
