(14,453 posts)have moved to the US. And Canada. And Europe.
These folks really see themselves as refugees. They really think they, as white folks in countries where they cant consistently control government to their full, uncontested liking, are therefore oppressed, and the really dumb ones are willing to flee to fairly random places to try to get out from under their perceived burdens.
From what Ive heard, many Russians do speak English, at least enough its possible to get around the country. Meanwhile, for Russia, its a PR get, so they were most likely happy to play along until it wasn't useful anymore.
Now.. if it were dozens, hundreds of folks doing it, id have some questions. But one (clearly unserious, deluded, and not very bright) family to do something that is clearly deluded, not very bright, and unserious.. is not terribly hard to believe.
