russia has developed a list of countries whose citizens can move to russia under a simplified process in the name of “traditional values”. This list includes 47 countries – most of the EU and NATO members, some Asian nations, and even Ukraine.

◽️ This is part of a program previously announced by russian leader vladimir putin, allowing foreigners to apply for temporary residence in russia without needing to provide proof of language proficiency. Russian propagandists provide extensive information support for the project, sharing stories of foreigners who have moved to russia and supposedly started a “new, happy life”.

◽️ This initiative is part of kremlin propaganda aimed at expanding russian influence worldwide. In reality, the kremlin is turning foreigners who seek “traditional values” in russia into agents of its propaganda.

Moreover, amid declining interest in putin’s “Compatriot return program”, russia is attempting to boost its population by attracting emigrants from “hostile countries”. However, early data on the number of program’s participants already suggest that it is unlikely to become a large-scale success.
