Russia to offer sanctuary & residency to foreigners disgusted by the demonic globohomo clown world west

The fact these don't work out often is another thing but it's mostly for them to not feel like they are being easy.
Also you see it in the Balkans a lot where women get into relationships with loser guys. Guys who are broke, do not have a proper job, drink a lot and smoke weed, cheat on them, treat them badly, etc. If they are dumb enough to date loser guys then it is there own fault that it does not work out. I really have no sympathy for these whores.
 
Regarding western men generally being introverts, I sometimes wonder if that's a default setting or a learned behaviour. Of my father's friends only the ones who don't have kids are comparable to the average guy from my generation: quiet, reserved, soft-spoken, shy, self-conscious.
Being shy and self conscious is not the same as introversion. The former stems from anxiety, whereas the latter is a natural preference for greater solitude strongly influenced by genetics. So yes, this behavior can stem from different things.

There are confident introverts who just don't like to talk much as there are shy extroverts who babble to calm their nerves. This shyness thing is not normal in Western societies and I'm convinced it's come about through our modern atomized lifestyles with social media, pornography, etc. And it's not exclusively a Western phenomenon as well.
 
I just did some googling and saw that pretty much the only cities in Russia where the temperature stays above zero the whole year are Sochi and Yalta (if you decide to include Crimea as now being part of Russia). There are other cities that have warm summers and Springs but the temperature dips below zero (degrees celcius) in winter. Even those to cities drop to zero or near zero (degrees celcius) in the coldest winter days which is still too cold. The only way I could see myself living in Russia is if I lived the 6 months a year and spent the other 6 months per year in warmer countries. I hate the cold unless I am going skiing, snowboarding or trekking in the mountains I prefer to avoid cold weather if possible.

Do these people even plan ahead, do they do any research? How do they expect to survive with no income?
Believing the hype that teaching English online is a viable longterm career choice, assuming they can keep US-based remote jobs, assuming a job will “just work out” despite preschool levels of fluency…

There are many opportunities for small businesses, though, but you *have* to be fluent in Russian.

If you had $250k USD, would you:

A: build a $250k 2 bedroom house 1.5 hours away from Moscow
Or
B: live comfortably for at least 5 years while learning the language and country, buying a modest fixer upper and investing in starting your own business or real estate

🤷‍♀️

I almost feel like they just think rural Russia is some utopia where everything just works out on its own. They make dumb decisions that you shouldn't even make in your own country, much less a foreign land halfway across the world.
Critical thinking is in short supply and many people are trying to sell you something, especially if you’re not used to self sufficiency.

A lot of this mentality comes from these Evangelical/dispensationalist survivalist influencers who say everyone needs to escape the cities and be completely self-reliant. Yet that's not how most Christians have lived for thousands of years, we need community.

In any case, someone moving to a foreign country is most likely to succeed if he is:
- Single, since family makes everything five times harder
- Good at learning languages
- Comfortable with discomfort and can go without modern amenities like AC, diswashers, etc.
- Has substantial savings or a career that can be done remotely, i.e. software engineers
- Is able to accept things are not going to be done the same way as back home
Pretty much ✅ I’d add:

-Make the Church and spiritual life the center of your relocation goals; this will pay so many dividends
-Start learning Russian ASAP. Aim for B1/B2.
-Network among Russian communities where you live now. Many people go back and forth, and they are a wealth of information and connections. Usually there’s an older American guy who married a Russian woman in the 90s/early 00s and he’s been investing in real estate or other businesses.
-Consider a back and forth strategy vs all in
-Get relevant documents like birth certificates and marriage certificates apostilled in your state. Doubly so if you were born in another state than you reside in and it’s a time consuming process. They don’t expire.
 
How long ago did you live in Poland, how was it and what would you recommend it as a place for foreign men to live? And what is the wife hunting situation like there for foreign men?
There are too many massive generalizations in your questions mate. For example I specifically understood I could meet women in Albania because I recognized there was a niche of very bored introverted women there. But you made the massive generalization that no Albanian women will date a foreigner. It is not true. I know another guy who went there and met a girl. You just have to meet ONE girl to undermine all of these generalizations. Including in your home country. Ok if you are seeking a very attractive 20 year old virgin that is less likely. Anywhere. Why not set an attainable goal like a non promiscuous women with decent values?

Very true. In addition, keep in mind that some EU and US based companies won't let you work from Russia. Part of the reason Russians left Russia when the war started was to be able to keep their remote jobs.

There are many IT sector jobs in Russia for Russian companies, but, as you said, you better learn Russian. The typical "yo no hablar espanyol" approach to foreign languages probably won't cut it.

As much as I hope their family pulls through this, I think everyone should take their story as what a family should not do. Russia is not the US. They seem to be finding that out the hard way, unfortunately.

Looking at what they did via their youtube channel... they could've been poor and unemployed anywhere in America and be better off. They could've relocated to Northern Michigan with better results. The mom couldn't figure out how to homeschool in Texas... so moving to Russia where they have no family or friends or work, don't know the language at all, is the obvious answer to their problems...? The whole scenario is really odd...

The ideal way to move abroad, imo, with a family is if the husband is working with an international company/business and can be relocated to the desired country's branch. That way the company helps/takes care of most of the visa/residency issues and any legal issues that come up. Some companies even give housing stipends or have corporate housing that employees can rent at lower prices.
