There’s nothing smart or moral about moving to a country objectively poorer than America where your kids will have fewer opportunities.

Also, this schtick about Russia being some place with strong families is simply not borne out by the data. Outside of the rich areas, there is horrific substance addiction, idleness, crime, etc.

Why not just move to Utah?

A while back I read the average Russian woman has some insane number of abortions. Like 5-7.

*ETA: this was way before Russia's invasion in 2022.

Russia is also a country where a massive population of their males are basically committing slow suicide every year via alcoholism.

Move to Utah…the population majority that believes in a heretical religion of Satan. Yep, nope.

30,000 Orthodox Churches have been built/rebuilt in Russia in last 30 years since fall of USSR.

Russia encourages and rewards the family unit and farm land is abundant and Americans are warmly received by ex-pat communities who are raising their families in a land not beholden to the LGBTQIABCD agenda.

So yep, run down a family seeking a place that aligns with their spiritual values…I’m sure your ancestors came here for same reasons.

I dated a Russian girl once. I asked her how old she was when she first tried vodka. She told me 9 and when I asked her why she told me because it was cleaner than the drinking water they had access to so they would drink it with dinner every night. And yes, her father all her uncles etc were alcoholics. Typical Russian story.

I would take a lower standard of living in a heartbeat to get my country back. A much lower one.

A nation's economic wealth doesn't necessarily translate into opportunities for children growing up, however, a corrupted moral base most definitely translates into exceptional difficulties for children.

Sounds a lot like the US currently, except that horrific substance addiction, idleness, and crime also exist within the rich areas of the US. (I don't recall cocaine being found in the Kremlin anytime recently - or ever.)

Because Mormons shun alcohol and Russians embrace it so heartily that they make hard liquor out of POTATOES!

Are you describing American urban centers or American rural areas like Appalachia?

The Russians are a wonderful people, and their culture is much less damaged than ours.
