Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Louis Marinelli, leader of the movement, said the embassy will not deal with diplomatic issues, but will act as more of a cultural center that will educate Russians about California's history, boost trade ties and promote tourism.
We're not requesting military assistance from Russia, Marinelli explained.
We're certainly going to request recognition of our independence and recognition of our [2019] independence referendum result, as we're going to request that the entire international community recognizes the results.

Not everything. Get the Reagan library and everything on that property here on American soil where he’ll be respected.
I would not want California to secede but I would support selling chunks of it to the Chinese.
The Federal Government owns 49 pct of California.
For all the shrieking and feigned outrage over Trump supposedly being influenced by Russians, what do Lost Causer secessionist Californians go and do first thing? Open a fake embassy in Russia.
Wow. Great comment! You nailed these hypocrites.
Here we go again.
The last time Democrats pulled a stunt like this just because a Republican won an election, they fired on Fort Sumter. What will they fire on this time, Coronado Island?
That’ll sure piss-off the U.S. Navy Seals.
>>Grant California its independence. Thats 56 less liberal electoral votes.
We should not abandon inland California. Let the coast secede, but we keep 50 states and replace 2 commie senators with pubbie ones. Call it the “State of Jefferson”. Then collect the “exit tax”.
Whatever it takes to get rid of CA so bit it.
Whaaaaat? Getting cozy with Moscow, those horrible hackers?!
>>Without checking my copy of it, this may be un-Constitutional.
At minimum, it’s probably a violation of the ‘Logan Act’.
When the crazy uncle wants to move out of the attic and be on his own you let him.
I was merely emphasizing in my own way the hysteria of the diehard Leftists. They think we want them dead when in reality we simply want their ideas to be fully exposed for the ridicule they so justly deserve.
I think the first thing Moscow will learn about their new “friends” is that they’re twisted sexual perverts, flat broke, can’t run their own affairs, and probably are looking to con a handout.
But if CA did secede silly chicken hawks like you would be a tiny minority and not a factor.
Nobody is going to kill anyone to keep a state IN the union.
If we are lucky, Kalifornika will fall into the ocean but I hope those who are NOT liberals can make it safely back to our shores. The liberals?...........not so much.
Birds of a feather.
And there I go, thinking of the late, great Charles Lichenstein again. Note to the blue bits of CA: I’ll practice my fond farewelling should you ever have the nads to put your money where your mouths are.
So Redsylvania is where all the white men live?
The banner says, “Republic”. Does that mean a representative government like congress and electors?
“”that will educate Russians about California’s history””
Maybe these dunces should learn about the history of Russia AND California via Fort Ross. What does Russia have to do with their DESIRE to secede? Just go for it without the distraction of Russia. What’s the gimmick? Why can’t all these schmucks just quietly leave the United States if they are so uncomfortable here? No one would miss them.
