russia, but i was part russian. i didn't plan on staying this long and i was gonna look around, i was gonna see if it was for me that like it, maybe i'll look at some properties. come back in a few more years after i'm retired and then just finish out life in russia. but then i came and then i was like, i don't remember when i go home. that's how i felt about rush. i love it. i love it so much here that i don't even want to leave. i just want to travel around rush. i have no desire to go to any other country. the i've never been here in russia. the i've only lived here a few months, but i wanted to tell you what fascinates me about russia and share the stories of other foreigners who lived here. like jay who worked as a chef and now raises god's mixed cheese in the countryside. like chad who has been granted political silent because he's being persecuted by the f. b. i like an

american family. that recently moved to russia with 6 children the year. we are happy to be here. this is my friend joe. a few months ago he immigrated to russia with his large family. now i'm on the way to visit him. i want to find out why he decided to move here and how he likes it in russia from the how you doing? pretty good. the joe is an i t program manager. he worked and many large companies, including microsoft, but he gave up everything and moved to russia with his wife and 6 children. and now they're about to have a 7. so apparently they had a very good reason to relocate. did he talk you interested?

no, i think to be honest, we 1st rich the same conclusion. some states have had issues where they've come in and they've removed the child because they're claiming the child's being abused by not being able to think it was uh, it's 6 states in less than 6 months past these laws that even a 5 year old kid could be taken away from their parents and take them to the hospital and shop a lot. yeah. that's just the reality we've of and people ask us okay, well, i mean like, is it ramped and is it happening to like everybody have you been threatened with that? no, i'm not an idiot. i don't wait around for this stuff to continue to progress because that's what's been going on for the last several decades. a lot of people with traditional values wouldn't take the agenda, right. they wouldn't take it. i know they flashed a lot of traditional teachers anyway, the flushing traditional switches out of the system that's filling it up with

cookers. and these people likes child stressed out that being bullied, so they send them home with, well maybe you're upset cuz you're actually the rooms and you're like, maybe you're actually just something people going on here. and they actually condition is chosen to do that. and so it's, it's going on and the amount of schools that have had secret classes one recently where they were having hot classes after school every day for a year. and they were actually, they weren't doing hard at all. oh, actually transgender across. and this is the, the article as well sir, who you, these parents to the children were tending not cost. literally this complete inversion. we're perfectly fine shaming you if you're a straight white male is you have a lot of kids, people to walk up to my wife, make rude comments are available. say there's many really, there's things you should think here. you know, nobody could criticize or for me coming out to me. children who are behavior is let me see what she says are you out of your mind. and she starts lane into me.

everybody's terrified. there is no freedom of speech in america anymore. you say something really mean about l g b, d organization or anything like that. oh, you'll be black doc for live. people had to down. no joke. i took a picture of christmas day because we had a boy's hand. this is like the most traditional in the angle world, both of the boys had and, and their i b decked with bays and rosemary and somebody tag this animal rights activist group. put out my name where i worked, who the phone numbers to like, oh, had somebody complain that was that pressure for eating a pigs had by the here in russia, you can say what you think were out loud and the most relieving thing in the world . you actually are like me, this is actually really enjoyable. you can make jokes about this sort of stuff. nobody would, you know, cancel you or try to dock to anything. i think that's about it. it was 5,

whatever it will be on the what about health? carey, are you all worried about getting like the kids to a doctor or because oh okay, well i told them, i mean this goes from the end of last year and i had to go get a surgery. i was just like, oh, great, awesome. so like this is over for us because i'm going to drop, you know, tens of thousands of dollars on this, which i would have definitely in the states. i had like one of the best orthopedic surgeons. like 5 star level hospital room, 1300 bucks. yeah. my says pregnancy ended up being on medicare stay and i think the bill was a $100000.00. we got a big discount on it because it was self pay. it was like $80000.00 and then we had the medical sharing, but still it was like, intense was listed as a good team. russian. see, are you a little russian more tables?

one of his best red t as high chance we're looking in the morning. i'd make money, he'd say t. what were your thoughts before coming to russia with a special military operation and how did you feel? were you worried that there was going to be like more on the outskirts of moscow? are you? i never, yeah. no, i thought there was going to be war and i didn't want to be sitting, you know, at home in the middle of kansas down the street from fort riley when the, let me just say that i feel a lot safer here. right? than i do in america, if actual world war 3 breaks out, much, much better to be here. we don't have any kind of defense that could suit anything that i mean, right? something goes on over in the, in the states. it's over me, you know, i remember right before we left, we, uh, we heard reports the russian nuclear sub just pop his head up right off the coast of dc. hey, we're right here, just so you know, don't forget that we're right here. so there's a nothing that you're going to defend against. uh,

this goes sideways for the whole world. the girls see this house. what are the learning funny? yeah. the . so we're on the way to meet somebody who is pretty famous here in russia. he's a farmer and ex pat has been here since the 19 ninety's, so he shouldn't give us an interesting perspective on how things have changed here . one of the things he's most known for is cheese. so today i'm hoping that we can see some cheese production and get to meet some animals on his farm.

the back of the, excuse me, another american. so very idea who is come. yeah. and the another yang story . we're going to go broke to go. all right, awesome. it's hard to believe now the j was a famous shift to even to, to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants in moscow. he was also a dare devil biker in radio host, but he gave it all of the sort of submarine which he had more in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built a house and moved here. is that, let's get in a to gaz one boil in 3 years. we'll have lead milk. i agreed and there we go. 3 years later the rope starts and what are you going to do, which are the leaders of milk? that's how j starting making cheese, and would you believe it? he became one of the most famous cheese makers in russia. although when he 1st came

here, he couldn't imagine anything of the sorts. 3 things shooting at the white nose and it was there was little money for us was in the hospital as well in a board and everything was really bad. you mean, i couldn't imagine that. another country surviving. i think americans would die hungry. i didn't leave here right away. i came for 10 days and 20 days and 40 days they was 61, a senior road and more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back home to russia. so it's home, i say, and people, hey, if you could live in a rush, you could live anywhere in the world. it's not easy here. and of course it's hard. it's not the language. some of the alphabet of culture ever shake hands under a doorway. still haven't put a bunch of salt on the table. man,

there's thousands of them. i don't believe in the life of divine judge wouldn't because it's like a habit. i asked jay if he's afraid to stay in russia after all, our countries have a very troubled relationship. the us embassy regularly purchase people to leave. but that's what happened before. when birth or the 16th june was probably the, regarding their, or just not getting a to communism info draining all their games on the tv. they were the ones writing the programs right better. and then there was a lot of people say to anybody, let alone there was economy. anybody out of different idea was calling is i think this river stuff. russia was killed tv, maybe trump, for president or hillary, clint bailey. they linked or e mails. it's all, no russians for how many elections and wayne got into right. how many o as a session, asians,

of elected officials have we actually done ring raid war against the payment because they weren't horrible in which we have here. we're just saying that the russians available, right when, really wish and really like the biggest friends. i don't understand that at all. jay's business is going well and things have been going particularly well since a europe imposing sanctions banning in ports of cheese into rush and j isn't suffering from the new sanctions either or so as far as possible. i seen where seem to fax you weight, sanction tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the address? yeah, well i think version of the same colors. same ice cream. you know, the oil you made in the usa, even j will confirm sanctions and russia have failed. he ordered this on as on,

which is why i'm always ordering things. a j had to take his car to the garage today for an oil change and i've decided to go with them. i want us to it car services like in the russian hinterland. the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion. by power to division with no real live indians. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground can

is it possible to get lost in time? well, comes up in tucker and see for yourself. here several groups are remaining in their own bubble of sorts, surrounded by these beautiful last samples of the intern traditions and culture. and if we've come this far, we know that it's going to be worth the journey. oh i sort of get sold, sold out in the road. so. uh yeah. so they built snow guys really? me right of here. yeah. the guys have to push. push. no that option just um we got it. you got it.

all right, let's see if we can push the james car. let's rock it for sure to stop. all right. looks like we're good to look at that. look at this beautiful village too. wow. that's the key up. the hill is amazing. place here, this is a beautiful village by the way. a lot of people in america think these villages are just like falling apart. so lot of your neighbors coming to buy choose from you. yeah. go buy cheese or master class. they learn how to make jeans. oh, they come and learn how to make it so james, dropping his car off for an oil change, this is a russian brides. look at that and really look too much different than an american garage. they find out the middle of the country. so he'll bring home 3 years, we're really not sure. or is

there any upgrades or warning room for you? that's it. what do you pay for oil change j and like i'm dollars 10 dollars. $10.00. oh. of maybe $5.00. $5.00. is it a good? let's go. the time is coming to try chase cheese. he has a small shop and many kinds of different cheese j says there are 50 varieties in total. so it is just part of the natural process every day. turn it over the rubber down or talk to good morning. few minutes with this is romano like was really good. this is this is called to tell you and guard. so dried tomatoes,

bell peppers speaking metal. metal, crappy with russian with shockley. yes, i'm a sick man, but you know, don't hold it against the palm. heading to the northern capital of saint petersburg in american lives. there whom the f b i has been hunting for 18 years. he's on interpose a red list. they tried to extradite him to the united states from different countries, 4 times now lives in russia. i've been following his story for a while, and i can finally personally ask why the f b i as after him. i'm in st. petersburg, russia right now my 1st time, and it's probably the coldest day since i've arrived in russia. i am feeling it to my bones right now. the pills are due to a tough how you doing it here. so the role of the frozen as well where you

can feel anything. oh you came. i think you brought this weather with you man. yeah, i'm not good, it is so i don't know to go back and tell me a little bit about yourself. like, uh, what, what made you decide to come to russia? i received the asylum and so far as i know, the next man after snow to get it. and that's american, the us embassies and 4 countries that come after me is wild. and so with a couple of theories, the one that most people come to me 1st like, oh, there's just a bunch of bureaucratic mistakes, but there's no way they rate it. our house in 2002 in cyprus. they have a huge fall, and my wife, uh, they've interrogated me. they visited me and vote here in prison. personally, the i came, they tried to make deals. and also in erica microsoft, i cover the middle east and africa and i had several intelligence agency trying to recruit me to work for them. and when i kept saying no, they wanted to make an offer. i couldn't refuse and they have a history that to and is approvable, know because when they try and recruiters not like they leave behind

a business card and say, hey, you know, i'm from the intelligence agency, but very clearly there are 3 recruitment attempts. why is it that the f b i is looking for you on the website? they say that i legally retain my son, which is not because i had custody of my son anywhere is here to lived in europe. and you can prove this. yeah, i do all this and then they said they told a newspaper, the indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped them, of the problem was i was in the united states and neither was the, the just 2 months prior. the same judge who set this whole thing up, put them on a plane using police to return to me because he was visiting his mother for the summer in the us and she didn't want to return them. and the judge said, nope, he said the police take away, put them on a plane and then he the same judge, basically the foundation for get up and that whole thing's been dismissed, but the feds weren't dismissed there in the and he's, he's your strongest witness in this case and he's, he's 27 now. yeah. he's done news interviews on american television saying that he

was never kidnapped and as all the fires because when the guy does the sort of things, it's the only thing that's ever fixed is massive publicity. i work the social media, sometimes the dancer, your laughter doing sort of things and yeah, i'm a 49 year old, bad man, but that's actually for me to work. right? yeah, i have, you know, steve to these by now and that's how it works. i had to order 2 police officers to physically movies my mother and put me on a plane back to my dad hollis. and i'm not this is actual insanity. chad sun now lives in the caribbean and he's still on the missing children's list. and chat is still on the wanted list. were you ever contracted by the government? no, never. do you think maybe and this is just me being curious. do you think that perhaps uh, something that you may have worked on for one of these companies might be a reason for any of this. i, i never worked on anything that was secretive or anything sort of that i have built

software that's been in the space station. it is used by the government, right? but it is communication software. when i moved to russia in early 2001, i married into a family and lived with a family who worked in a military aviation factory. and they didn't like suite the forest or the thing. and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had coverage. okay, so these were close family members and we lived in the same house phone for many years. and they had basically, i guess, wouldn't america be called top secretary ok. and it became pretty evident that somebody in the american halogens agency had some kind of white dream that thought i could somehow blackmail my family to give me information. okay. it was never going to happen. we never discuss this stuff. my family would never give me information about that. i would never ask. russian may have and i don't have to if it is, but maybe they offer me the silent because i believe russian is far about more case

my case than i do. right. and maybe it was a thank you for you know, hey, you had the chance to turn on us and you didn't, i don't know. do you feel safe, ever returning to the united states of america? no. and you feel safe here? oh, absolutely. it is extremely censure. right, americans ask me all the time if that covers that yours to be safe and americans to be more safe in the city is here. they are whole. i say this a lot of people sliding back home. i had a concealed weapons permit. i had to carry, hang on with me everywhere i went. and since i've been here, people asked me, what about your gun rights now? what's the need for it? you don't need a gun african american to say that that's really amazing to try are expected. i'm a friend from new york and he lives here and he says he got marked on average 3 times a year in new york. it's just, it's really crazy and i still in the metro is here and people like where the people who. yeah, where's the feet? yes, it dropped out. i'd see the videos that all the time and they always ask the same thing. like me chat has passed a lot of strange questions on tick tock. recently,

he was asked if it's true that russia had run out of tomatoes. the american media often writes nonsense stories about russia and people believe them. so we decided to drive to the market and see for our search. for month. oh wow, it displays the funny on the for the fish a bill next week. the fisher and 5. yeah. yeah. the i used to be on your own. yeah. yeah, yes. i have come to spy on your point to to get everybody and they have to man is here not they said russian. okay, just a minute and let's take a look. i think there's okay, so tell me does that look like the tomato audio? the tomato, i like, yeah, tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, all the way down tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, then all the way down command estimate is tomatoes. yeah. so

it's all 1st of all, look at these because i've seen this based on uh, already was look joe, look right over here. a look at the gigs that amazing. got 32 boys, one and one of the belly. okay, we're good. i keep counting kids. i'm so paranoid because of america and america, if somebody would have like, tucked them into their jacket and walked toward. yeah, these are very high swings. papa has to be careful not to push you too high. okay. your wife was telling me when she is on the forms for like mothers and america. yeah. that they talk about not letting their children i guess not giving their children a gender. oh yeah. that's so weird. yeah. i mean, it's not like, yeah it's, it's amazing really important in america, not all, but it seems like

a small portion i'd say are just range. i've never been felt safe for my entire life than living here. moscow is, feels very safe by people help us around the city all the time. and myself parts there everywhere. i mean, i've never had so much to for my kids to do ever in america the, the kids when they're like by themselves and you like panic, like where's their parents? somebody's gonna take the kids from the area that i get the city. they had a part for a kid called worlds of fun, thousands of people over a decade, thousands of kids. it was being run by peter rick and uh they were just taking kids and it was never getting reported on like these kids are just disappearing for these theme parks. listen, i'm talking about a news aids here. just save. yeah. in some ways i feel like i've already fulfilled my dream. i've gotten them out right now. it is just about stabilize. right. so

that, that to me is the most important people like want to talk about, you know, oh, it's a, it's a bad thing to do something if you're running away and i get those comments on social media all the time. why did you run? mm. i didn't run i left, you know that this horrible thing that happened with the crocus inviting. everybody is like calling me from the states. hey, are you okay huh. and i'm like, what do you mean? should i be calling you every, every week? right? every day i cool. you live in chicago, should i call you on saturdays in the morning? are you okay right. one thing has happened which is truly horrible. but since what the ninety's to to to 1000. yeah. and, and, and you're calling me to see if i'm ok. no, i'm concerned about you. right the what are your future plans? i'm looking for a job now that asylum i can work your legal way. so that's great. i'd like to find

a public speaking job or maybe something immediate on tv, something in saint petersburg. no, because i don't want to move to moscow. mazda is great. but st. petersburg, my john, what do you like most about st. petersburg? why do you like this city? you know, i've, i've traveled there almost 70 countries. i've lived in 12, and it's really my experience of an entire world. i mean, people here as you see, if you even slightly brush into somebody there to stop sex to hold. the doors feels like you're living in a small town. there's something magical about the city to me, the happy here in time of the let me let i just want to come back here to my new religion and country road to deal with my goats and my dogs and gads and like change. i love reading change, so it's all i can describe there is where you feel like it don't have to be your land in

a way where you're in wired way or an example to the people that are there plans. now i'm assuming you're going to go for citizenship. absolutely, and you're not looking back. the sound of you, i get it is i totally get it. i've got about 6 or 7 p. the want to come visit this year, right? but i've warned, every single one of them i said, you know, the worst part about visiting russia is when you get here, you don't want to lease 100 percent. so it's, you want to be a russian citizen. he asked me to buy you want to be a russian would absolutely most of it. ready ready the

center for sponsor, for as long as cutting piece to the committee of the combined the percentage soon, i made a return your defensive with it's just that it would be due to the cbs, cbs criteria to that issue. now clips stores this thing is doing a visual book and you need it so it's no problem to move in. could keep the private and look at the well. dempster wouldn't even the name and the dock because after i knew i was most likely to pro is media. so doing this stuff, the one you upside with me at least the persistence. but some of those you, me to this to scare? you put their lives pretty soon, the pretty part of the most recent important, the religious you believe the truth, the key to the baby to be less moses to looks like the media to the cost for adults told the new the comes to go the coding and then to keep it, but often doesn't display a version of the charlotte. what's this procrastination less then grasp the position with this much less the police improvement without leaving your speech
