The Foreign Ministry will be offering three-month visas as early as next month, Russian state media said.
  • Putin has signed a decree that Russia will welcome foreigners who want to escape Western liberal ideals.
  • Applicants may include those from countries unaligned with “Russian spiritual and moral values.”
  • The application process has been simplified, and visas will be issued as soon as next month.

          What are you on about? This migration will cause the IQ in Russia and the originating country to go up.

        I have bad news for them if they think accepting people running from “Western liberal ideals” is going to help with that somehow.

      Probably. “Come to Russia! Is safe place! Is not place with liberals! What? No, we don’t need bodies for military! No conscription of foreigners here!”

      Odd thing is, he might not be far off. He could try to sell some incels on hot single Russian women whose men have all died in 60 year old tanks. Also maybe some gravy seals might be willing to sign up. Maybe when Trump loses he’ll move there followed by some of his MAGA cult, and they’ll be this English speaking enclave in Russia somewhere. Could be the premise for a sci-fi tv show.
