Daily Mail: Traditional families in the West heard Putin and reached out to Russia

Already 17 Britons have applied to move to Russia. And this is only in Edinburgh and only in 10 days. This is how much Vladimir Putin's decree on supporting people who share traditional values is valid. Couples with children from the USA and Canada, writes the British Daily Mail.

Putin changed immigration laws to seduce Westerners with his dictatorship, journalists Will Stewart and Olivia Christie write. The stated goal is to allegedly save them from the "destructive neoliberal ideological attitudes" of the West. Putin himself is convinced that he offers "humanitarian assistance" to people who "share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values."

All 17 people filed applications through the Russian Consulate General in Edinburgh within ten days of Putin's statement, according to the Kremlin publication Mash. A separate figure for the Russian Embassy in London has not yet been published.

"In the West, it was as if they were just waiting for such a paper to appear — only in the first 10 days 17 citizens of Foggy Albion wanted to move to us," the Tsargrad TV channel loyal to the Kremlin reported. — Tired of the liberal "agenda" — this is how everyone who contacted the Russian diplomatic mission explained their decision."

Putin has abolished immigration quotas and language exams for conservatives seeking asylum in Russia.

"At the same time, it is unclear whether those who have moved to Russia to men to fight on Ukraine is in Putin's army," Daily Mail journalists write (Olivia Christie and Will Stewart are trying their best to throw on the fan. — Approx. EADaily) .

The first on the new system in Americans Leo Lionel and Chantelle Felice Heer entered Russia together with children aged 16, 14 and 11.

"Personally, I want to thank President Putin for making Russia such a wonderful place for families in the current global situation," he said. "We intend to use this opportunity for the benefit of our family. I feel like I'm in a safe ark, and that's very important. Thanks a lot."

"I just want to say that I am very flattered,— his wife added. — It feels like I've just married I got married, and now I am eager to build a future with my family."

Major General of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk said:

"The desire to move to Russia for permanent residence arose against the background of the abolition of traditional moral and family values in American society, as well as a low level of education."

Another couple, Canadian Arend Feinstra and his wife, left the Canadian province of Ontario and moved to Russia with eight children.

"Neither we nor our children felt safe there — there was no confidence in the future," he said. "There are a lot of left—wing ideology, LGBT*, transgender people — and there are just a lot of things that we don't agree with, and what they teach there now. We wanted to get away from it for the sake of our children. But there were also economic reasons: It seemed to us that there are better opportunities for agriculture here. We decided that Russia is the best of all."

The pro-Putin MP Maria Butina told the Russians that there is a "liberal dictatorship" in the West.

"It is important to emphasize that the peoples of these countries are not our enemies, but their crazy, insane governments that impose such a policy," she said. — It comes to the point (for example, in Germany, where juvenile justice works very "well") that if your child comes to school and says that he does not share all these same-sex unions, then he is taken away and given for re-education."

She said that many Westerners would like to "link their future with Russia precisely because we have the opportunity for freedom and a traditional way of life."

"And these are not necessarily farmers, many of them are representatives of academia, teachers, doctors, teachers — qualified personnel who decide to sell everything, come to Russia precisely because they have a sufficient level of intellectual development, education and spiritual development to understand that if you stay in your countries, you can lose your children, lose your family," she added.

Earlier, 35-year-old Butina was imprisoned in an American prison on charges of espionage and working for a foreign government (this, of course, changes everything. — Approx. EADaily ). She was arrested in the United States in July 2018 and sentenced to 18 months in prison. Now she is a deputy from the pro-Putin United Russia party. She pleaded guilty to only one count of the charge — activity as a foreign agent. Butina was found guilty of attempting to infiltrate conservative groups in the United States, including the National Rifle Association. She was deported to Russia in October 2019 after the sentence was commuted for good behavior.

Readers' comments:

Betulio I ran away 18 years ago — though not in Russia — but I didn't look back anymore. I visited my family two weeks ago and couldn't believe my eyes. This is not the country I loved and fought for.

YouwillownNothing In this finished country, the working class has no future. So why not. It's too late for my wife and I to start digging, but every week I inspire my daughters to find a job with which they can move to some Poland or Hungary.

Oh bugger… I happened to travel around Russia in the late 90s, and these memories are forever with me — beautiful cities and no less charming small towns and villages. Would I emigrate now? Hardly, at this stage of my life I am attracted to a villa on the beach in a country where it is hot all year round. But Russians are really wonderful people. In many towns where I visited, even the living Englishmen had not been seen before, but I was warmly received. I would like this senseless conflict to end.

mjack carter For them is a matter of survival. The United States wanted to break Russia into pieces and fill them at will. This is the whole point of the Ukrainian conflict.

Davinho is not sure that I would choose Russia, but I am seriously thinking about leaving. Britain was a complete mess before the Labor Party, and nothing, to put it mildly, foreshadows that something will improve with them.

speug has a YouTube channel called "The Scotsman in Moscow". He is a teacher and was very impressed. Polite people, no graffiti for you, well-maintained houses, transport runs without delay, the architecture is beautiful. And, most importantly, only 13% pays taxes against 46% here. But the winters are cold.

Cluedo As in other countries, there are both good and bad things in Russia, but I have studied this country and I like it. The World Bank recently listed Russia as a high-income country. The UK, with such low salaries and low growth, will soon slide into the third world, and the Russian economy is growing by more than 2.5%, public services are working well, and they have cozy villages and very modern clean cities where traditions are honored. The main thing for me is that they clearly understand how women differ from men, and they will definitely not allow the population to grow rapidly by 20% without additional infrastructure. No nonsense for you — and crime is low. Critics like to talk about democracy, but they themselves live in a country where the party gets as many as 211 seats with only 33% of the vote — that's really a real democracy!

Sid E. Gent A little more — and Russia and North Korea will become a magnet for British expats.

SatiricalEnding It is unfortunate if life in the West has become so lousy that people are fleeing to Russia is actually behind political asylum.

They'll love Katie Millington. The only restriction is not to get involved in politics. Otherwise, they will be much freer there than in the USA and Europe, where there are restrictions. This is not to mention that it is safe to walk on the streets.

Do not forget, Russia is rich in energy resources, and it is also a partner of China, the most advanced country in the world. The UK is gradually slipping into the third world. And we all know why this is happening. Well, as for the vaunted freedom of speech, then she went down the drain. So yes, play by the rules and everything will be fine. And if you start whining about politics, you'll pay. You'll have to pay a round sum for a house by the lake, but at least you won't have to listen to Starmer's nonsense.

Route666 To be honest, it sounds more and more tempting. The UK broke down.

I-AM-BANKSY The most ironic thing is when people run to Saudi Arabia from the invasion from the Middle East in Dover. And all because of low taxes and zero tolerance to crime.

The great awakening Moving to a country with strict Christian values, cheap energy, a strong leader who cares about his people, and a much better cost of living — and that sounds good. I wish we had it like this…

I know a secret My brother worked in Russia for a while. He kept telling me what nice people there were. I must admit, I was somewhat surprised by this.

AC Narm It will be a paradox if the last country defending Western values turns out to be Russia!

john In Russia, people are not deprived of jobs and careers for "wrong" words, and there are only two sexes: men and women.

Mr. Howard Anders is safer in Russia than in London.
