Canadian farmer Arend Feenstra, who moved to Russia through a streamlined immigration program for citizens of “unfriendly” countries who share “traditional values,” has complained that he cannot get a permanent residence permit. The news outlet Nizhny Novgorod Onlain drew attention to his YouTube video.

Feenstra received a three-year temporary residence permit in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region in early 2025. He then brought his wife and eight children to Russia and began farming.

But Feenstra has now learned that to replace his temporary residence permit with a permanent one, he must sign a contract with Russia’s Defense Ministry.

    Just let people vote and respect their decisions. What’s so hard about that?

    Ukraine’s parliament voted to remove Yanukovych

    The Ukrainian people elected Zelenskyy

    You need to let people vote and respect their decisions

      Bullshit. There weren’t enough representatives per the constitution because a Nazi mob removed THEM, those that did not already flee.

      Zelesnky won on the promise of ending the conflict through the Minsk Agreement, a popular rejection of the Banderites and a mandate for peace, then watched helplessly as the Azov Brigade refused his orders to stop shelling the Donetsk city center.

      Now he’s just a kapo stooge who will never outlive his usefulness to the Banderites.

      A Jewish man “guarded” by men with Totenkopfs???

      You’re very confident in something you clearly don’t understand. You just need to be pointed at whomever they tell you your enemy is, huh?

      Chump.🤡
