"Now,
in America, there are cases of people losing their jobs, not being able
to find a new job, being denied an education, and not being able to get
into a university - simply because they're opposed to homosexual
behavior, and because they're opposed to this lie of homosexual
marriage, or because they're opposed to transgenderism,"
By Ekaterina Blinova: Russia
has rejected globalism and now serves as a safe haven for Westerners who
are feeling oppressed by neoliberal destructive ideas in their
homeland, US journalist Timothy Kirby told Sputnik.
President
Vladimir Putin signed a decree on August 19 providing foreigners who
share Russia's spiritual and moral values, and who seek to escape the
West's destructive neoliberal ideals, with a temporary residence permit
in Russia.
"The
law provides Westerners something that they've sought for a long time -
the opportunity to move to Russia," Timothy Kirby, an American-born
journalist and radio host, told Sputnik. Earlier, Western foreigners
couldn’t immigrate to Russia without a legal basis, but now "the door
has finally started to open," he added.
Under
the new law, the temporary residence permit would be granted outside
the quota approved by the Russian government, and without the need for
confirmation of the applicants' knowledge of the Russian language,
Russian history, and basic laws. However, they would have to submit a
written statement, stating reasons for moving, to their local Russian
diplomatic mission or consular office.
In
addition, Putin has instructed the Russian Foreign Ministry to draw up a
list of states imposing destructive neoliberal values.
"In
a lot of ways, Russia is the country that is leading the fight against
some of the absolute madness that comes from the West," Kirby added,
referring in particular, to the absurd idea that "gender" is some sort
of social construct that has nothing to do with one's sex assigned at
birth.
Another
Western theory says that patriarchy is designed to "repress women for
some reason, even though women aren't particularly repressed," he
continued.
Kirby
emigrated from the US to Russia in 2006 and calls himself "an advocate
for life in Russia" for those who oppose a "satanic new wave" of ideas
which are "very popular among the Western elite, but absolutely
disgusting to the rest of humanity."
"Russia
and the Russian people are facing the challenges of the 21st century; a
lot of intellectuals would basically call it the era of postmodernism,"
Kirby said. "The average person in Russia, whether they understand it
or not, rejects this. Russians have chosen to remain human, to keep
going with society, to reject globalism, to reject some sort of
post-human and post-modern bizarre future. And that's a good thing… And
God bless Russia for it."
Conservative Westerners have been relocating to Russia for quite a while. Speaking to Sputnik last year, Father Joseph Gleason, an American-born Orthodox priest, had expressed hopes
that moving to Russia could be simplified for family-oriented,
hard-working Christian immigrants. Gleason moved to Russia with his wife
and eight children in 2017 to escape the Western aggressive neoliberal
agenda. Since then, he has been assisting other conservatives to settle
in the country.
"Now,
in America, there are cases of people losing their jobs, not being able
to find a new job, being denied an education, and not being able to get
into a university - simply because they're opposed to homosexual
behavior, and because they're opposed to this lie of homosexual
marriage, or because they're opposed to transgenderism," Gleason told
Sputnik in August 2023.
Earlier
this month, Irina Volk, the official representative of the Russian
Ministry of Internal Affairs, announced that another American Christian
family is seeking shelter in Russia.
Leo and Chantelle Hare and their three children decided to move to
Russia as traditional, moral and family values are increasingly under
attack in the US.
In
the future, the Hares plan to obtain Russian citizenship. The couple
understands that the level of education and security is higher in
Russia, and that the state protects traditional values and provides support to large families, stated Volk while speaking to the press.
