They apparently left the safety of life in the USA to move to Russia to get away from western media propaganda

The wife made a YouTube channel to document all of this.

The husband had 10+ years of working as a repair tech and was hoping to either do that or be a military reporter but got sent to the frontlines instead.

Still alive for now but all of this seemed so ill advised and not thought out, hopefully he survives

But it does remind me of all of the illegals here in the USA who move here and aren’t happy and want to complain about the free food they are given etc

We already have a whole thread about people moving to Russia in search for normalcy.

And the Huffman case was also explained there. He wasn't drafted. He voluntarily signed a contract, without knowing the Russian language.
  • Hoffman’s: the family in the video above with father in the Russian military. He can’t read Russian, signed a contract for military, was told he would be a “news reporter” or put in a repair battalion. Took less money than promised under the guise of “he will be able to choose where he goes”. They indeed spent all their money on their house in the American Village. Their builder was short 20% because of currency exchange issues and while that wasn’t technically their problem, they didn’t fight contract apparently. They were left with an unfinished yard and other work undone. Wife spent $900 USD in the last month on taxis, they have no money for a car, father’s military pay is at least 2 months delayed, they are accepting food donations. I would not be surprised if they are deported or something because you have to show proof of funds to migration office periodically. They actually don’t even have temporary residency yet, so they’re still on visa. The overall consensus is that Istra is an upscale dacha community with no close-by amenities or jobs, and an unsuitable destination for new expats. They’re on telegram under HuffmanTime
