As many as 1,500 “ideological immigrants,” including 127 Americans, have applied for temporary residence in Russia in the last year.
Two years ago, Derek and DeAnna Huffman were desperate to leave Humble, a suburb of Houston. Their three daughters, they believed, were being brainwashed by public school and mainstream media to support LGBTQ rights. American culture in general no longer offered white people the same opportunities as other races, they said.
The couple yearned to live in a place that shared their “Christian values” and where they “weren’t going to be discriminated against” as white, politically-conservative Christians.
So in March, the Huffmans became the first family to move to a community planned for fellow English-speakers some 30 miles west of Moscow, a project they had been following online run by long-term American expat and former Kremlin-sponsored RT host Tim Kirby. The family is among a small but growing number of Americans who have moved to Russia because the United States, in their opinion, has become too “woke."
Will their children be able to come back when they become adults? I hope they’re not trapped over there, they aren’t responsible for their parents poor decisions.
Unless they renounced US citizenship they can always go back.
not if they sold everything in the us and MOVED TO RUSSIA, it will be next to impossible to set up a home again the states, much like how trump shipped the afrikaaners to the usa with no help at all, and s africa told them"your on your own"
Yeah, but that applies to all Americans, not just people that come in from abroad.
