Plans are underway in Russia to build a settlement for conservative American and Canadian immigrants seeking to leave the West for ideological reasons, at least according to a Moscow-based immigration lawyer.
Timur Beslangurov, a partner in the law firm VISTA Immigration, claimed that construction would begin next year on a village in the Moscow region for about 200 families from North America, financed by the immigrants themselves.
The reason is propaganda of radical values: Today they have 70 genders, and who knows what will come next, he said in comments at a legal forum in St Petersburg, which were reported by Russias state-run RIA Novosti news agency Thursday. No evidence has been provided publicly for the claims, and its not 100 percent clear what Beslangurovs role in the reported project is.
VICE News contacted Beslangurov asking for further information on the reported project, and to speak with some of the hundreds of potential Western immigrants he said existed to help verify his claims, but he replied that he wasnt able to provide further information at this stage.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has wooed Western right-wingers and conservatives by positioning himself as a staunch defender of a traditionalist, Christian European identity, resulting in pro-Russian narratives about the invasion of Ukraine becoming widespread in far-right and conspiracist networks.

Good. I would personally buy one (1) one-way ticket for anyone leaving for there.
