    Couple more American families have moved to Russia in recent months




    The parents of the first family had spent some time in Russia previously as educators I think. So they know some things already. For now they seem to just be in Moscow, don't know where they'll go next or what their plans are.

    The 2nd family had visited Russia 1-2 years previously and have some contacts. They met with various local administrations and were given guided tours of a couple different regions. There was one Russian immigration lawyer who was making some videos about them at the time, I remember watching those. Anyway they've moved to Russia for agriculture and are in the process of buying land, presumably in the Ivanovo region which is where they are now I think. Ivanovo region is a few hundred km's from Moscow, central Russia pretty much.

    Many Germans Would Like to Move to Russia Due to Economic Reasons – German Politician,12.15.2024.

    MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Many German nationals are interested in moving to Russia due to the economic stability and reasonable migration policy in the country, chairman of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty Ralph Niemeyer told Ria Novosti.

    "There is stability [in Russia] and there is employment. We now see full employment in the country, which means that anyone who is looking for work can find it. The issue of migration is also being handled better than in Europe, so migration is not uncontrolled. There are many foreign workers in Russia, but they are all working and contributing to society in some way. They are not just waiting for accommodation to be provided," Niemeyer said.

    The politician has compared the Russian migration policy to the European one, noting that many migrants who come to Germany do not contribute to the country's well-being.

    "That is why many people in Germany start to think, 'Perhaps there is a bright future for us in Russia and we would like to relocate there.' And I see that the Russian government is open to this idea, as they have made the process of moving, obtaining a work permit and settling in the country relatively easy. This is a very attractive prospect," Niemeyer said.

    At the same time, he believes that Russia could consider reducing the requirements for Russian language proficiency to attract migrants from Germany. Currently, foreigners need to have a fairly good command of the language in order to legally relocate, and the current requirement to study the language so thoroughly could alienate many Germans, Niemeyer argued.
    In early September, the German Interior Ministry said that the country would tighten controls at all of its land borders starting from September 16 to tackle irregular migration.

    I know what you mean Mir.... they look like they have been punched in the face...

    But then there are trends for all sorts of things... slim butts, huge butts, etc etc... lots of makeup, no makeup...

    The reason I have read for the large lips... which is why most women use lipstick to emphasise their lips to make them look big and swollen is related to their vaginas... but obviously rotated 90 degrees...

    Wonder if they realised this that they would still allow little girls to try on lipstick?

    Huge thick lips with heavy lipstick doesn't really do much for me.

    For a refugee that is escaping abuse and oppression you might be a bit loose on the language, but if you want to move to a country to live you really need to be able to communicate with the locals in their language. If you want to work somewhere you need to be able to understand what everyone else is saying to you... just for safety reasons.

    Took me a long time to learn English and that is my only language, so I am not some person who speaks ten languages and thinks that is easy.

    If I was going to move to another country the very least I would demand of myself is to be able to speak and understand the language.

    Besides, is it just me or is there something sinister about German migrants demanding to be allowed in without learning the language... should Russians learn German perhaps to make things easier for you maybe?

    It's fashion created by the "beauty" business.
    This effect needs repeated treatment to hold, which makes a great returning customer.
    Most of these weird "beauty standards" are being pushed and advertised by the women-oriented tabloids and magazines as a part of planned operation.
    Long story short, those are women who do that to other women.

    I don't really follow or understand fashion trends - so maybe that is why I find the balloon lips very unflattering and with possible adverse health risks later on in life.

    Fortunately most of the women I know just fake it by going overboard with the lipstick, but some actually get their lips injected with poison to actually inflate their lips.

    Rich older women inject their entire face with poison... botox or something it is called.

    The sad thing is that when they get a little work done they can't stop and eventually they look ridiculous... in fact they look artificial and plastic compared with just having some wrinkles if they didn't spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on getting "work" done.

    Horrible.

    But you can't tell them that....

    It works the same way for all creepy ideas that were worked out as a product.
    I will give you an example.
    Back in the 70s, the Rolex watch was just an ordinary piece. There have been brands much more respected, valued, with longer heritage and real technical advantages.
    What Rolex did, was sponsor soap operas showing "rich and prosperous". The Dynasty phenomena spread out in the 80s, presenting the Rolex watch as a high-class attribute. Every single soccer mom was convinced that there is no better way to aspire to the financial nobility than buying a Rolex for her husband. This created a great demand, allowing an insane price increase that continues.
    The same pattern applies here.
    Plastic surgery used to be expensive and available to the upper class only - again a soccer mom was watching the soap opera queens&princesses parading with brand new tits. Smaller nose. Bigger lips. Lifted butt.
    Every single tabloid and colorful magazine for women was reporting on that, with the juiciest details available.
    This created an obsessive need to pretend to be a member of this caste.
    The obsession opened a wide market for the business and lowered the limitations.
    Soon, some sort of plastic surgery was transferred down to the cosmetology. It became available for a much wider niche.
    Being promoted in lifestyle channels created a fashion.
    It does not matter that the thing looks disgusting, creates costs, health hazards and pain - if you want to be a fashion girl, here you go.

    On average, there are about 6.5 million foreign citizens in Russia at any one time; this figure has not changed in recent years. Such data was reported to Gazeta.Ru by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    "The annual number of foreign citizens leaving the territory of the Russian Federation and entering the territory of the Russian Federation is about 11-12 million people. About 6.5 million foreign citizens are in the country at any one time. These figures have remained stable for several years, with the exception of the pandemic period," the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.

    The ministry declined to answer the question of whether there is a shortage of migrant workers in the country.

    “We note that issues of regulating the labor market, including determining the need to attract foreign workers, fall within the competence of the Russian Ministry of Labor ,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.

    Before this, recruitment expert, director of the Migrant-Service platform Andrey Kladov said that one million migrants left Russia in 2024. Mostly  citizens of Uzbekistan , Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan left the Russian Federation .

    Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev proposed strictly controlling all movements of migrants.

    Americans leaving the US for Russia will find a lot of similarity. Russia is not quite as ripe with woke rot yet, but the trends are there. The same
    family destroying divorce laws and pandering to "oppressed" females by white knight politicians and judicial system. The same western fashion
    trends that extend into mentality of the population. Russia is a western country even if the west hates it and pretends it isn't. But we
    see that even eastern countries such as South Korea are swirling the same toilet bowl. China is experiencing similar symptoms.

    Modern civilization has the same built-in destruction processes around the globe. You can escape them for a while by migrating but eventually they
    will be critical everywhere. That will be the time the whole rotten facade collapses for real. Refuge will be found in some small pockets were
    food can be grown and where global warming will not prevent the growing of this food. Perhaps the high altitude regions of South America like in
    Peru is where such refuge will be found.

    Westerners moving to Russia or China for work will bring their own cultural baggage with them too which could be a problem.

    Western media and entertainment industries pollute the world with all sorts of Woke liberal rubbish... but lets face it, that isn't new.

    Anyone who remembers any episodes of Dr Who going right back to the beginning will know he didn't like guns... McGyver is the same... even the A Team which is awash with guns very few people actually get killed in the programme...

    Looking forward to seeing the next remake of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves", or should I say "Pitch Black and the seven little rainbow people"...

    I understand why they want diversity in movies but why don't we hear diverse culture stories too... why remake and destroy existing stories and series by making them more inclusive... instead of making James Bond into Jemima Bond, why not create a new series about a secret agent from another part of the world having adventures... why ruin the existing story about James?

    Equally, why not create new space and future adventures instead of corrupting existing ones.

    Russia is a western country even if the west hates it and pretends it isn't. But we
    see that even eastern countries such as South Korea are swirling the same toilet bowl. China is experiencing similar symptoms.

    When the US dollar collapses perhaps their entertainment industry will collapse too... BRICS needs an entertainment focus that shares traditional and cultural stories of the rest of the world to share that does not involve filth.

    Answer: it is tokenism.

    Even amongst the woke communities, such garbage piece of movie was highly criticized to be lack of depth, to show no meaningful message, and the plot is horrible. Only a change in skin color and call it as a day.

    Disney is also accused to merely used Haley Bailey as a pawn and scapegoat. When the black mermaid film was under criticism, Disney threw the actress into the frontline as scapegoat.

    That was why Democrats lost the recent election. Their traditional stronghold of marginalized communities no longer support them. They realized the version of woke promoted by the Democrats is only a farce.

    Brazil is per se an inflationary country. The official annual inflation rate is at 4%, but nobody believes that. Rate is calculated from a basket of goods and services for low (working class) families and that does not reflect the middle class consumer patterns.
    Rumour is circulating that the official statistics office is manipulating data so as to please the government economic policy with its budget.

    So the usual that I see in Kanada. Here the lying is over the top. The CPI is supposedly 2.7% but I do not see such a low price increase anywhere.
    Not in the grocery store, not in the hardware store, not on the car dealer lot, not in the computer and electronics shop. Nowhere. The Kanadian
    CPI is closer to 10%.

    Funny how in Russia there is the opposite fetish. The CPI is exaggerated and all sorts of GDP-shrinking inflation "fighting" is deployed. I see a pattern.
    Western stooges who serve the interests of the west. In the west we have low-balling of problems, in Russia we have high-balling. I am impressed
    that Russia has not gone the way of Ukraine with the level of infiltration of its institutions. Russia is hard to understand even though it is similar to
    western countries.

    More than 80,000 foreigners were expelled from Russia for breaching migration legislation last year, according to the Federal Service of Court Bailiffs, as quoted by TASS news agency. The figure has nearly doubled compared to 2023.

    The Russian authorities have taken steps to tighten the country’s migration policy since investigators identified Tajik citizens as the perpetrators of a terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall near Moscow last year, which resulted in 140 deaths.

    The figure dramatically surged compared to 44,200, from some 60 countries, that were forcibly expelled from Russia in 2023. In 2022, the number of those expelled over violations of local migration laws reportedly totaled 26,600 people from 47 states.

    More than 23,000 illegal migrants were expelled last year from Moscow and Moscow Region alone, according to the Federal Service. Most of those expelled were citizens from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), having predominantly come from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Three citizens from Latvia, France and Estonia were among those expelled.

    In late December, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree ordering illegal migrants to either legalize their status or leave Russia by April 30, 2025. The directive came as part of the country’s broader effort to toughen up the migration law.

    Last year, several new laws were enacted to monitor illegal migration via a register of “controlled persons.” The procedure of expelling undocumented foreigners won’t require a court ruling from February 5, 2025.

    In addition, organizing illegal migration has been made as a particularly serious offense with punitive measures for crime of the kind include the confiscation of financial and property assets obtained through facilitating human trafficking. The measure is expected to strip criminals of economic incentives and disrupt the operations in the shire of illegal migration.
