a medic ordeal. the philippines was finally able to achieve the independence. the i wanted to come here since i was 12. 1 my grandfather told me his mom came from russia. that was part russian. i didn't plan on staying this long. i was gonna look around. i was gonna see if it was for me, i 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 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 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 gods and makes cheese in the countryside. like chad who has been granted political asylum 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 and russian to how you doing. very good.

the joe is an i t program manager. he worked in many large companies including microsoft, but he gave up everything and moved to russia. with his wife and 6 children, and now they are about to have a 7. so apparently they had a very good reason to relocate. did he talk you into russia? no, i think, to be honest with 1st rich, the same conclusion. some states have had issues where they've come in and they've removed the child from here because they're claiming the child's being abused by not being able to think it was uh, is 6 states in less than 6 months past these laws that even a 5 year old kid can 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 a ramp and is it happening to like everybody? have you been threatened with that?

no, i'm not an idiot. 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. okay. i know you're down and they flash a lot of traditional teachers anywhere. the flushing traditional switches out of the system that's filling it up with cuckoos. and these people likes child stressed out that being bullied, so they send them home with where maybe you're upset cuz you're actually the rooms and you like maybe you're actually just helping 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 classes after school every day for a year. and they were actually, they weren't doing art at all. oh, actually transgender classes. and this is the, the article as well sir, who you, these parents to the children were attending on cost. literally this complete in version we're perfectly fine shaming you if you're

a farmer to an ex pat has been here since the 19 ninety's, so he should give us an interesting perspective on how things have changed here. one of the things he is most known for is cheats. so today, hoping that we can see some cheese production and get to meet some animals on his farm. the tobacco. excuse me, another american surgeries idea who was come? yeah, on the another yang story. we're going to go broke to go. all right, awesome. it's hard to believe now that j was a famous shift to even go to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants in moscow. he was also a dear double biker and radio host, but he gave it all up sort of submarine, which he had more to in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built

oh no, 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 asylum and so far as i know in the next man, if there's no need to get it, and it's american 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 rated our house in 2002 in cyprus, they have a huge file and my wife, they've interrogated me, they visited me and vote here in prison. personally, the i came, they tried to make deals and also from microsoft, i cover in 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 already lived in europe. the and you can prove this. yeah. you all there and then they said they told a newspaper, the indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped him with the problem was, i was in the united states and neither was he the just too much prior the same judge who set this whole thing up, put him 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 wanna return him. 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 is, he's 27 now. yeah. he's done news interviews on american television saying that he was never kidnapped. and as all a far as the because when the f

b i does the sort of thing. it's the only thing is ever fixed is massive publicity . i work the social media. sometimes it's any dance or you're gonna have to do is you'll do everything. yeah, i'm a 49 year old man, but that's the social media works. right? yeah, i have a 250 to these by now, and that's how it works. i had to order 2 police officers to physically movies. mazda came to me on a plane back to my dad, hollis. and i'm not investing. 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 a 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's 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 floors or anything. and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had to go to brands. so these were close family members and we did in the same household for many years. and they had, basically, i guess what an american we called top secretary. and it became pretty evident that somebody in the american halogens agency had some kind of wet 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. russia may have and i don't have to have this, but maybe they offer me the silent because i believe rushing us 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? and you feel safe here? oh, absolutely. it is extremely censure, right? americans ask me all the time if that covers it to us, be safe and americans to be more safe in the cities here than they are whole. i say this a lot of people like back home i had a concealed weapons permit. i had to carry, hang on with me everywhere or when, since i've been here, people ask me, what about your gun rights now? what's the need for it? you don't need a gun. there is an american to say that that's really amazing. the dryer is expected. i have a friend from new york and he lives here and he says he got marked on adverse 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 is there a fee? yes, i drove 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 that. so we decided to drive to the market and see for our centers to support. oh wow, look at this place. funny on the for the fish. a bill next to the figures. 5. yeah. yeah. they are just really nice. easy on. yeah. yeah, yes. i have come to spy on your point without everybody as a 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 it in the middle i like yeah. made is made. is tomatoes all the way down to me? is tomatoes, tomatoes, then all the way down to man estimate is demand is. yeah. it's
