of the, the of wanted to come here since i was 121 my grandfather told me his mom came from russia, but we were, 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 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. 9 here in rush, so 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 godes 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 in russian to how you doing pretty good job was an i t program manager to work in many large companies including microsoft

. but he gave ups 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 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 a 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. 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 the a slash, 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 on 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 across. and this is the, the article as well sir, hawaii, 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. you have a lot of kids, people to walk up to my wife, make rude comments or about will say the materials. and whereas things,

if you didn't hear, you know, nobody could criticize or even coming out to me, children who will behavior. and so let me see what she says, i you bad as you online and she starts lane and to me everybody's terrified. there is no freedom of speech in america anymore. yes, i didn't really mean about that. would you be the organization or anything like that? oh, you'll be black, docks for life. people had to down no joke. i took a picture of christmas day because we had a pores, hand. this is like the most traditional in the angle world. both the boys had in hand or 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 credited for eating a pigs had. but a 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 or anything like that. talk about it. it was by whatever you're moving 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 at 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 have like one of the best orthopedic surgeons. like 5 star level hospital room, 1300 bucks. yeah. my says pregnancy ended up being on the case today and i think the bill was a $100000.00. we got a big discount on it because it was self

a. it was like $80000.00 and then we had the medical sharing, but still it was like intense wiley, lucel's equity, russian c o your little russian boy tables. one of his fest with t is 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 oh, i know. yeah, no, i thought there was going to be a 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 breakdown much, much better to be here. we don't have any type of defense that could suit anything . 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 pops 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 nothing that you're going to defend against. uh, this goes sideways for the whole world. hey, girls. rush and say look at this house. what are some of the learning flooding? 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 you should give us an

interesting perspective on how things have changed here. one of the things is most known for is cheats. so today i'm hoping that we can see some cheese production and get to meet some animals on his farm. the tobacco excuse me, and other americans. so very i deal with. yeah, on the another yang story. we're going to go build 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 dare devil biker in radio host, but he gave it all a sort of submarine which he had more to in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built a house and moved here. is that let's get rid of 2 calves, 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 jay started 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. free dang, steering at the white nose and it was, there was little money for us. was in the hospital's wall in a barge and everything was really bad. you mean, i couldn't imagine that. another country surviving. i think americans would die hungry. i didn't receive a right away, i came for 10 days and 20 days and 40 days they was 61, a senior loan going more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back home to rush. 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. i mean,

of course it's hard and some of the language, some of the alphabet, of the culture. several shake hands under a doorway. the boxes on the table. man, it's thousands of them. i don't believe in them. i think divine touch would 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 urges people to leave. but this has been happening before when birth or the 16th june was probably reasonable garcey. there was not k c a to communist room, full draining all their gains on the tv. they were the ones writing the programs right. better that there was a lot of it was yeah. anybody you a long there was economy. anyone who had a different idea was calling is i think this river stuff, the russians are guilty. they maybe trump for president or hillary,

clint bailey. they linked or e mails installed on watches for how many elections and wayne got into right. how many sessions ations of elected officials have we actually done ring raid war against the paper because they weren't lynch or maybe lucas think that the russians available. right. when really wish me 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 imposed sanctions banning in ports of choosing to rush and j as in suffering from the new sanctions either or so is the change if it's possible, extinguishing to wait. tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the draft?

yeah, well, i think the same cars. same ice cream. you know, the oil you made in the usa. even jay 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 to see what car service is like in the russian hinterland. the trump administration has quickly realized ending the ukraine complex is going to be difficult and time consuming. also, there is a growing understanding that the end of fighting does not necessarily mean creating the conditions of the stuff for the machine, for the surface of the machine. what

to model happening with these kinds of what it is different this next time and see if it doesn't take her to testify this thing. and so with the concept, even though it is a new, much so i was unable to deal with most of the company and some brokerage goes up, developing bio chemical weather's inside of the guns. good to watch, we use the solution, you know, wasn't cheaper to use the white glove service cost, but he's because of the secretary state because the oh i sort of get sold sold on the road.

so it's yeah. so they built snow. the guys really me right of here. yeah. the guys have to push, push the know that us option the stuff you got it. you got it. all right, let's see if we can 1st james car. let's wrap it for sure to stop. all right, looks like we're good to look at that a look at this beautiful villas to wow, look 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

a lot of your neighbors come and they buy choose from you. yeah, i'm going by chains or master class. they learn how to make jeans. oh, they come and learn how to make the james dropping his car off for an oil change. this is a russian brides look at that. doesn't 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 new york. okay. is there any i'll quote answer for you. that's it. what do you pay for oil, change j. and like i'm dollars 10 dollars, 10 dollars. oh. maybe 5 dollars, 5 dollars. is it a good? let's go, the time is coming to try jay's 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 you next week. this is romano like was really good a. this is greer. this is going to tell you and guard so dried tomatoes, bell peppers speaking metal, metal grumpy with rush. shockley. yes. i'm a sick man. but you know, don't hold it against the. i'm heading to the northern capital of st. petersburg and 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 rush 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? for more years old arose and frozen as well. you can feel anything. 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 if you can 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 snowden to get it, and that'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 rate it. our house in 2002 in cyprus. they have issued fall

and my wife, they've interrogated me, they visited me and vote here in prison. personally, i came, they tried to make deals. and also whenever can 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 every history that june 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 the and you can prove this. yeah. you all there and then they said they told the newspaper, the indictment. they said that i physically kidnapped him, but the problem was i was in the united states and neither was he the just 2 months prior, the same judge and set this whole thing up, put him on

a plane using police to return to 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 started a police take away, put him 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 the fires because when the guy does the sort of things it's the only thing is ever fixed. it has massive publicity and i work the social media. sometimes it's any dance or you're going after doing sort of the things and yeah, i'm a 49 year old bad man, but that's also tomato works. right? yeah. i have, you know, 50 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 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 the wanted list. were you ever contracted by the government? no. do you think maybe and this is just me being curious, do you think that perhaps a 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 of coverage. so these were close family members, and we lived in the same household for many years. and they had basically, i guess,

wouldn't america be called top secret type? ok, 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 and 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 asylum because i believe russian was 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 when 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 cities here than they are home. i say this a lot of people back home i had a concealed weapons permit. i the 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. there is an american to say that that's really amazing. the driver expected . i have 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 filled the metro's here and people like where the people who. yeah. where's the feet? yes, it dropped the videos 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 russian and people believe. so we decided to drive to the market and see for our center supposed month. oh wow, look at this place. funny. uh, on the fish. uh, you'll see the pictures, but yeah, yeah, i think i used to be on your own. yeah. yeah. yeah. i've come to

spy on your friends without, you know, everybody as a, they have tomatoes here or not. they said russian take us 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 tomato? i like yeah. tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, all the way down to me is tomatoes, tomatoes, then all the way down to man estimate estimate is. yeah. so it's all 1st of all. look at these because i've seen this based on uh already was good luck. jos. look right over here on market the gigs is 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 it 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 just not giving their children a gender. oh yeah, that's so weird but 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 brain i've never been felt safer, atlanta or 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 stuff 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 the 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 risk. and they were just taking kids and it was never getting reported on like these kids are just disappearing for these theme parks. that's why i'm talking about any news aids here. just say, 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, right? 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,

to deal with my goats and my dogs and jazz and like change. i love reading cheese. so it's all i can describe there is where you feel like it don't have to be your land in the way or where you're in wired way or an example to the people our plans. now i'm assuming you're going to go for citizenship. absolutely, and you're not looking back the sound of this, you, i get it is, i totally get it. i've got about 6 or 7 people that 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 with. absolutely. let's do it. the. ready the in take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by how us to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills. and is it just as a chosen for you. fractured images presented is 1st can you see through their illusion going underground can

a better friend ish, the hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . so trump administration has quickly realized ending the ukraine. complex is going to be difficult and time consuming. also, there is a growing understanding that the end of fighting does not necessarily mean creating the conditions of peace. the cross walk in ukraine, i'm joined by my guess, am proud in london. he is a senior british the bill that and off.
