Russian Church Spokesman Explains Why Americans Are Moving to Russia - "The U.S. Is a Country of Victorious Minorities"
Russian Faith ^ | 6/30/21 | Yana Dobralyenko

"America, in this sense, is a country of victorious minorities. The situation began with the protection of rights, but has developed into a dictatorship . . ."

"we can say that dozens of such families are ready to move to Russia . . . If you analyze the situation in the United States, it has to do with the nation's process of actively accepting LGBT values, same-sex marriages, and so on. As this process intensified, people began to think about moving to other countries, including Russia . . .

RT's "Not Alone" project received a request from Orthodox families from the United States and Canada to help them relocate to Russia. It was initiated by Joseph Gleason, an American priest who converted to Orthodoxy himself and moved his family to the Yaroslavl region several years ago. As the main reason for the move Joseph names commitment to traditional values and pressure in the U.S. on those who adhere to them. In an interview with RT, Vladimir Legoyda, chairman of the Russian Orthodox Church's Synodal Department for Relations with Society and the Media, shared his views on what pushed the foreigners to take such a serious step.

- Vladimir Romanovich, we have been approached by American Orthodox families in the "Not Alone" project with a request to help them relocate to Russia. Is this important from a media perspective?

- I think it's important that RT is not limited to the classic functions of the media ā€” to inform, educate or entertain. In your work, such a pronounced social dimension is very good. Because if there is any such dimension in the media today, it is politicized and, it seems to me, more likely to have a destructive function for society. But actually helping to support people ā€” that is really valuable.

I think we’re going to see more and more of this as time goes on. I can understand it. However, I would prefer that people first stay and fight to preserve this country, or at least a part of it.

I’m old enough to remember when America believed in God and Russia didn’t.

Problem is Eastern Europe has insanely low wages. The average Hungarian earns about $11,000 a year. It gets worse the further east you go. Czech Republic and Poland are the best of the lot but lag very far behind Austria, Britain, France, etc.

You are better off financially in Brazil, Columbia, Chile, Costa Rica and Panama.

Who in their right mind would move to Russia?

  1. Edward Snowden
  2. People afraid of global warming
  3. Expatriate Russians who find the grass is not really greener and miss their homeland.

Just know, that Russia is a multi-cultural country because many from the Central Asian parts of the former Russian/Soviet Empire have moved into the Russian cities.

Well I’m not moving to Russia ever but it does interest me. St Petersburg especially but I’d prefer to do it from a cruise ship.

I know a girl from Moscow and she said they have self-cleaning showers - not exactly sure now they work but she had gone back home and was visiting someone who said she had to turn on her shower cleaning. I had never heard of this before.
