Why did I Move to RUSSIA?

Wander around Red Square in Moscow under the night time city lights while an American answers the question in the title. I love Russia and Russian people but there is more to it than that. Why did I leave America?

Of course , we also have not so good people, but I love Russia , because we are open to say what we want .

When on Saturday evening, being on red Square we'd heard bell-ringing of surrounding churches it gave us goosebumps; we followed the stream of christians that brought us to a closest church. Being an ortodox christian, speaking russian as my native language, I really felt home.

Существуют частные случаи рукоприкладства, но на мой взгляд их не так много. Опять же, всё это нытьё идет со стороны женщин у которых проблемы с мозгом. Я знаю некоторых, они будут жаловаться что их избивают и унижают, но на предложения развода будут всячески отнекиваться. Это те самые дурные бабы, за которых нельзя заступаться в случае если её суженный избивает дуру на улице, она нападет на тебя вместе с ним и ты останешся виноватым. Они лишь могут грузить своими проблемами друзей и знакомых чтобы чувствовать себя лучше, вместо того чтобы внести в свою жизнь изменения. О, у каждой есть множество предлогов почему они не могут это сделать, но если они не сидят связанными в подвале, имеют возможность рассказать о домашнем насилии, обратится в нужные органы, но не делают это, то это ничтожества желающие сочувствия.

    Because I could not survive on my tiny retirement paycheck within the US I resettled to Russia several years ago looking for a cheaper life. Since March 2023 Social Security stopped paying my retirement benefits and has not responded anymore. I honestly earned my benefits working for decades, paying taxes, being a law-abiding citizen, but the US deprived me of my sustenance with no explanations. My passport expired and I cannot renew it because the Embassy in Moscow does not accept us American citizens anymore. I am too old and weak to resettle again and I have no money for that. I can only go to the street begging in a foreign country. I was also with the same fraudulent way deprived of Economic Impact Payment. The government of the US denies and defiles its obligations to the citizens and is actually a banana republic with rockets. I am not alone in such a desperate situation deceived and defrauded by the US.

Plus, at my age, I don't have many moves left...things are different in your 60s than they were in your 40s. In the end, we will all pass from this place.

    When i visited Moscow in 1991 with the Goodwill Games, everything was different than it looks now. The little grocery store next to the hotel we stayed in, only sold Pepsi and Vodka. There was a small chest freezer in the back of the store that had one small package of some kind of meat, no label. I was most impressed with the friendliness of the people.

    Russia is amazing, but the US is not at all. Those who want to move to Russia, be ware of the revenge of American government. They would hurt you as they can. Because I could not survive on my tiny retirement paycheck within the US I resettled to Russia several years ago looking for a cheaper life. Since March 2023 Social Security stopped paying my retirement benefits and has not responded anymore. I honestly earned my benefits working for decades, paying taxes, being a law-abiding citizen, but the US deprived me of my sustenance with no explanations. My passport expired and I cannot renew it because the Embassy in Moscow does not accept us American citizens anymore. I am too old and weak to resettle again and I have no money for that. I can only go to the street begging in a foreign country. I was also with the same fraudulent way deprived of Economic Impact Payment. The government of the US denies and defiles its obligations to the citizens and is actually a banana republic with rockets. I am not alone in such a desperate situation deceived and defrauded by the US.

    Unlike the U.S., Russian universities, besides commercial students, alco do accept "budget" students, who don't pay for education at all. But to get the "budget" place in a university, you have to meet certain criteria, such as passing certain exams not worse then university suggests. So, to get to budget place in Russian university may be quite hard, you have to have enough knowledge on required subject in order to get there. But, if you have a purpose to get there, it is possible. My daughter had graduated from a budget place in university, for example.

The lifestyle, culture and views of the people and northern forests/lakes/snow. My wife too, is Russian however she's never pushed for going back to Russia as this is more my idea which she supports. I just have one suggestion - you don't have to be apologetic for Russia's political stances as most of the world, less insane western media, support Putin. Best of luck with your family there.

    Ordinary people are the same everywhere. We all want good health, peaceful life, prosperity, good life for our children. All ordinary people around the world are the same. And for the "people suffer" side - Donetsk and Lugansk people and children suffer since 2014, they are being shelled every day by Ukrainian army, thousands Donetsk and Lugansk CIVILIANS were killed during these 8 years and the "world news" are silent about that like nothing happens. They are deaf and numb when it comes to realty done by ukrainian side who started this war in 2014. And I know it because my parents lived in a town from which everyday Ukrainian forses shelled nearest DNR city every day and keep doing it now. They just ran away from the town recently. During 8 previous yrs it was safe for them to live there becase only ukrainian side was shooting outside their town, into DNR civilians, there were no shellings in reply all these 8 yrs inside the town from DNR. Its a good thing to concentrate on our similarities - as all ordinary people deep inside are the same and wish the same. There is a slight upper layer that is different - language, culture, food, habbits, traditions. With a mutual desire to respect each other all the cultural differences become fun to compare. It's not ordinary people who start wars. And just to be clear here - the war in the Ukraine started in 2014 after Donbass refused to accept illegal government turnover in Kiev sponsored by who? If Victoria Nuland was handing out cookies to the crowds participating on the central Kiev square, on cameras? And those crowds were not only payed - by who?, people from small Ukraininan towns went there to earn money but were also given some kind of drugs and I know it because they came back and visited our local hospitaI to understand what is going on with them. In 2014 Kiev after the govt turnover Kiev brought troops to Donbass - eastern 100% russian speaking area where Russian language is forbidden for studying and not recognesed that it exists. Kiev started shelling peaceful Donbass cities in 2014 and still continues doing it now with western media "not noticing it". I always want to say for the "non belivers" - gosh, just buy tickets to Moscow, then take a bus to Donetsk and see everything with your own eyes, younger generations speaks English there as well as in Moscow, the hotels there working. What's the propblem to see the truth with your own eyes? There are western journalists who live on the spot there in Donbass - Patrick Lanckaster, Graham Phillips who show everything what they see around and speak English.

    Hi, when I first heard you say that you moved to Russia from the US, I thought at first you were crazy. However, as you explained your reasons, you got a lot more understanding and respect from me particularly because it was due to love of your family. I also agree with your view of adhering to all legalities especially since you are a visitor in Russia. I would do exactly as you do. I also agree with your view of showing that all people are similar, which is a backhanded way to quietly oppose the attack on Ukraine. If I may suggest, however, if you want a LOT more views, you need to get more personal. For example, you mentioned your wife but you never showed her on the broadcast. The same for your kids. You also noted that you moved to Russia so that they could get a good and cheap education in university ,but you never interviewed them about the schooling. I suggest that you become more compelling buy taking us into your life and showing us what you eat from day to day, what you do, what it is like for you and your family to live there through this military situation and more. If you draw us in more, you will greatly increase your viewership. I would also go to various restaurants and show us the cuisine. Show us what it is like to shop etc. Please make your videos at least 15 minutes too. It takes time to draw us in and to cover cool stuff. Also if you speak Russian to someone and vice versa, please post a translation at the bottom of the picture frame. Again draw us in and you will see many more views.

    Ever since I caught you with Dan the Marine from Siberia, I have loved following your story. I have dug into your video's and tried to do the chronological thing but then something comes upon my feed and I drift away. I think we have a very similar outlook on our life, time left, what to do and how we spend it. I am married to a Chinese woman and we spend time in China where there are some amazing sights. I fortunately speak about 80% of the standard Mandarin, but the dialects, they throw me off the edge at times. People there treat me as they treat each other, they know me and in most places I am recognised and greeted heartily with friendship despite the global situation. Australia used to have a wonderful relationship with China but then we had a leader (Prime Minister) who was so pro US that if we ever needed him we had to turn the POTUS around and grab his ankles and pull him out, if you get my meaning. This ended our trade relations and almost destroyed our GDP. We are now recovering under a new government, but the US are not happy with us. What can you say, 65% trade to our North or 18% trade to the USA, it is a no brainer if you want to survive. I will say that I truly envy you so much, of the two nations, it was on the toss of a coin and the absolute promise to myself and my mother that I would walk on the Great Wall one day, that I chose China first. Otherwise it would have been Moscow hands down in 2013. I will still get there, I will be ten years older and a bit more fragile but I was built to fight the odds. I will plan my trip carefully and I think maybe the train from Beijing to Moscow would also add to the experience. For what it is worth, I don't judge anyone for their choices, we are all global citizens and the more we get along the less wars there would be. Always watching and much love and best wishes to your whole family, from Australia.

    If you want to move to Russia, be ware of revenge of American government. Because I could not survive on my tiny retirement paycheck within the US I resettled to Russia several years ago looking for a cheaper life. Since March 2023 Social Security stopped paying my retirement benefits and has not responded anymore. I honestly earned my benefits working for decades, paying taxes, being a law-abiding citizen, but the US deprived me of my sustenance with no explanations. My passport expired and I cannot renew it because the Embassy in Moscow does not accept us American citizens anymore. I am too old and weak to resettle again and I have no money for that. I can only go to the street begging in a foreign country. I was also with the same fraudulent way deprived of Economic Impact Payment. The government of the US denies and defiles its obligations to the citizens and is actually a banana republic with rockets. I am not alone in such a desperate situation deceived and defrauded by the US.

    I've always loved Russia, and I am planning to move there one day once I finish college to escape the hopelessness and the dying empire that is the US. I was born in the US, but I have been to Russia many many times to visit family and I have Russian citizenship. I am an American patriot, and a Russian one as well. It is sad to see how one of my countries is crumbling into a void of neoliberal suffering while still desperately trying to viciously claw at the other. I know this is unsustainable, and if there are no changes, the US will fall, whether it be through severe internal problems or outright civil war between a group of normal people and a group of rabid liberals. I hope the US turns around and becomes more like Russia before it is too late. But for now, the safest option is to escape while you still can. The media may have taught you to hate Russia, the Russian government, and maybe even Russian people and culture. Throw all of those lies out of your head. Take a sledgehammer, and next time you see a guy on the screen whining about Russia being evil and whatnot, smash that sledgehammer into the screen, right at his face. You will feel better, trust me.
