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.

          This would be the most circuitous immigration route they could take to get to Europe… go to russia, head to front lines (and survive), surrender, become a POW, claim refugee status (and avoid being deported), land in a western country and start from scratch.

            I was thinking just because they realized if they didn’t defect, they’d be killed, not to get to Europe.

            Sounds like a modern Don Quixote (though I imagine in their minds it’s more like The Odyssey).

      The great thing for Russia is that they know their target demographic will never see that news!
