So, Russia is working on a new visa regime for people, who want to escape the West and live in an LGBT free society…
Basically, Russia should have done this a long time ago. Although, the question is how much Russia is actually traditional and how much is it a good place to live? Now, if you want your kids to grow up and be educated in an environment, where they would not have LGBT, gender theory and similar shit shoved down their anals in school, Russia is probably the place but otherwise it really depends on your lifestyle.
I don’t think Russia is particularly opposed to digitalization or vaccination. So if you are against these agendas, this might not be for you. Although, I don’t think Russia will make you eat bugs. Actually, if you are a farmer, a food producer, Russia might be a place for you. Russia has plenty of land and fertile soil. Ever heard of the Chernozem? It is a belt of fertile soil stretching from Ukraine to the steppes of Central Asia.
Russia is now in the process of conquering the Chernozem area of Ukraine and that place will be depopulated, lands will be up for grabs. But moving to Russia will completely close any roads to the West. So basically, anyone that takes this opportunity must be prepared to take his entire life to Russia. Transferring money to Russia from the West currently is rather hard. You could use crypto. Soon there will probably be a BRICS payment system that could make things easier.
But the West will probably sanction this because doing business with Russia is off limits. At least Western citizens will be barred from participating in anything like this. But if you are ready to abandon the West, there is a whole new out there. After all, you are leaving the culturally decrepit West then why feed it economically?
Russia also has a low tax rate, a flat tax too but from what I have heard, they are much into digital payments and government control. More than Czechia actually. Basically the place has its pros and cons, and one should do a thorough research before moving there. But in my opinion, we will see colonies of Westerners in Russia in the future.

There’s a blog by American boomer, he just came back to USA from Russia. I think blog name is between two worlds.
It has lots of typical boomer takes, but there’s value in that as well, especially finding random old post, where you can see him breaking through some propaganda he grew up with. And then whining about some of his American friends attacking him for daring to touch holy cow of American propaganda.
He’s moving back since his wife died, he had tough time there with regular stuff, paying bills etc. He’s just to old to learn the language that well by now basically he’s somehwere in B1 or B2.
So if anyone wants to go there language is the must.

B2 should be sufficient in my opinion. I have reached C1 in Russian but with a diagraphie exception. I write too slowly to do the tests in time. Honestly, Russia seems harsh but at the same time there are opportunities that aren’t anywhere else.
