Brits have already signed up for Vladimir Putin‘s offer to escape the woke West and move to Russia for its traditional values, reports in the country claim.
Already 17 people have been in touch with Russian diplomats in Britain seeking details of Putin’s fast-track residence permits, Moscow has said.
It comes after Putin changed immigration laws to tempt Westerners to embrace his dictatorship.
The aim is to save them from ‘destructive neoliberal ideological attitudes’ in the West.
Putin believes he is offering ‘humanitarian aid’ to people ‘who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values’.
17 APPLICATIONS IN TEN DAYS
All 17 applied in the ten days after Putin’s announcement via Russia’s consulate-general in Edinburgh, according to the Kremlin-run Mash media outlet.
There is as yet no separate figure for the Russian embassy in London.
‘In the West, it seemed like they were just waiting for [Putin’s] document to appear – in the first 10 days alone, 17 citizens of Foggy Albion [Britain] wanted to move to us,’ reported Kremlin-loyal Tsargrad TV.
