The article details the experiences of two American families, the Huffmans and the Hares, who relocated to Russia seeking a society that aligns with their conservative values.

While they initially found support and community, Derek’s military service led to online scrutiny and hardship for the family. The Hares, motivated by similar views, also moved to Russia, enduring challenges such as financial scams and their children’s difficulty adapting to the new environment.

The modern conservative movement has been hijacked by a narcissistic bully who values power and money above all else.… Continue reading
As news circulates that Putin has declared Russia to be a ‘safe haven’ for individuals who want to swap out liberal Western ways for so-called Russian ‘moral values,’ a range of reactions has sparked thought-provoking discussions.
