A Kremlin-controlled media outlet on Thursday reported that there are plans to build a village for conservative Americans and Canadians who want to live in Russia.RIA Novosti quoted Timur Beslangurov—a partner of VISTA Immigration law firm who assists foreign investors in obtaining residency and citizenship in Russia—as saying"about 200 families want to emigrate [to Russia] for ideological reasons.
In total, Beslangurov said, tens of thousands of people with no ties to Russia want to move to the country. The lawyer spoke about the planned project for conservative ex-pats at a legal forum in St. Petersburg, according to RIA Novosti, saying the regional government in Russia had approved plans for the village.
Beslangurov reportedly said traditional Catholics are among the 200 families from the United States and Canada that are looking to move to the Russian village because they"very strongly believe in the prophecy that Russia will remain the only Christian country in the world." No Russian officials have announced plans for the village, but Beslangurov said the Moscow region administration has signed off on the project. He also said the community will be financed by the relocating families.
