Shocking number of Brits opting to live in Putin's Russia - leaving 'woke West' behind
Daily Express ^ | Sep 10 | By Jon Austin

Brits are clamouring to sign up after an offer from Vladimir Putin to leave the "woke West" and move to Russia to embrace its "traditional values," the Kremlin has claimed.

According to reports from Moscow, 17 people from Scotland have been in touch with the Russian Embassy to enquire about Putin's "fast-track residence permits".

It was after the Russian dictator amended immigration laws to tempt more Westerners to come to his country.

Putin has effectively said westerners would be seeking asylum from wokeism in Russia as he was offering "humanitarian aid" to people "who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values".

It comes after Russia claimed that people from North America have already taken up the offer and moved there.

Good to know you have an option to always claim asylum in Russia because you never know... (like Snowden)

With all the hunting, fishing, and trapping across 11 time zones, why doesn’t Russia offer all remaining Ukrainian soldiers a respite from otherwise eventual death defending a corrupt borderland that sold them out? These Ukrainian men are already survivalists. Does Russia prefer removing them from the gene pool to make Lebensraum for Israel’s expanding Jewish population?

It’s a feudal nation! Are these ppl nuts?

As soon as the govt get’s it S together from the current crisis it will callously use them as resources to be exploited.

There were a bunch of idiots and delusional fools, who went there 100 years ago. They’re all gone. Killed in purges, work camps and wars.

If they stay the wrong thing, they’re looking at long stints in prison. No way I would move there.

She said: "It is important to emphasise that the peoples of these countries are not our enemies, but their governments, who have gone mad, are insane, and are imposing such policies."

She got one thing wrong, the segments of the peoples are indeed our enemies. It is not just the government. If it was just the government it could be changed, but in a democracy it is the will of the people. She is naïve to think those wokesters are not her enemies. Failing to see the legal mandates placed upon her/us is coming from her fellow citizens. Many are failing to define what and who it is we are to stand against. Many are too afraid to say this quiet part out loud. Our enemy has already said it out loud; defining us into the domestic lists and we feebly petition our government about the slander.

So, they leave the nation of the birth(s) hopeful for a perceived better place to live. It is a common story of people who search for freedom. My forefather left the Bentley and indentured himself to come to the new world. Later made enough to provide material support to the Continental Virginia Army.

What will Russia be like in a decade? What about the United States?

In some obscure way I give them credit for making a difficult decision, taking an action even if we do not agree with it. It is better than the keyboard bloviating which we will soon witness being shutdown, as even the smallest of free speech disappears.

Putin just changed Russia’s requirements considerably so people are moving there.

It was very common in the early 1900’s for young and misguided Polish communist/socialist youth to sneak across the border into Lenin/Stalin’s workers paradise.

Of course the Russians arrested them for being Trotskyists or capitalist fascist spies.

Most of them were sent to Siberia. And those that weren’t shipped out found out the dreadful truth of communism

Bro, I dont want any money spent by us on the ukraine war. It’s a corrupt regime and NATO knew it would instigate a war by trying to let Ukraine join.

But Russia is NOT a place I want to live.

You’re not deluded enough to think that you will have real freedom under Putin, are you?

By all means, go there and speak your mind on EVERYTHING :)

One of those things will land you in a prison.

Good luck.

Lots of Germans went home in the 1930’s as well.

Not sure what is “shocking” about this.
