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 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.

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're 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, 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 the reality we've of and people ask us okay, well i mean like, is it ramp 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 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 just 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, who you, these parents to the children were attending clock. literally this complete in

version. 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 about to say the materials and things. if you take care, you know, nobody could criticize her for women coming out to me. children, well, behavior is what she says, i you out of you online and she starts playing into me. everybody's terrified. there is no freedom of speech in america anymore. yes, there's nothing 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 boy's hand. this is like the most traditional in the angle world, both the boys had and then there i be 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, of the complex, the pressures for eating

a pigs had brought it 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 him, 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 had 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 day 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 equity. russian c o your little russian, more tables. one of his fest with the is high chance we're looking in the morning. i'd make money, he'd say, he 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 or you? oh, i never. 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 kind of defense that could suit anything

that's, 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. see 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 pats 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's 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, another american idea. 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 to, to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants and 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 as to gaz one boil in 3 years will have lead to milk. i agreed and dare go. 3 years later the rock starts and what are you going to do, which are the leaders of milk? that's howled j starting making cheese. and would you believe it? he became one of the most famous choose makers in russia. although when he 1st came here, he couldn't imagine anything of the sort. i got here 93 things, shooting at the white nose and it was there was little money for us was in the hospitals following the 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 receive here right away. i came for 10 days and 20 days and 40 days they was 61 a senior go go and more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back home to russian. so it's home, i say to people, hey,

if you could live in a rush, you can live anywhere in the world. it's not easy here. i mean, of course it's hard, it's one of the language of the alphabet of culture. stammer shaking hands under a doorway. the boxes on the table. man, it's thousands of. 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 is what happened before when birth or the 16th to was probably reasonable garcey there. oh, this k c a to comment as an info draining the games on the tv. they were the ones writing the programs right. better. and then there was a lot of it was to anybody you, a long hair was economy. anyone who had

a different idea was economy. news like this never stuff. the russians are guilty. they maybe trump for president or hillary clinton and they linked our e mails. it's all the russians for how many elections and we got into right. how many o as a session ations of elected officials have we actually done ring raid war against the payment because they weren't a horrible in which the things that the russians available right. when really rich 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 imposed sanctions banning in ports of cheese into rush and j as in suffering from the new sanctions either or so it's a technical support sample fussing was similar to the

weight. tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the draft? yeah, well, i think the same dollars. same ice cream. you know, the oil you made in the usa, even j will confirm sanctions and russia had 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,

[000:00:00;00] the, at the end of the 19th century, africa was divided between european empires, which mercilessly oppress the indigenous population. modern day tends and he used to be a german colony. the germans levied heavy taxes on local drives, and use them as free labor on cotton plantations. professions protest turned into an uprising against the colonial list under the banner of the religious movement of the magazine. margie, it was led by a man named kinsey, could do the rebels use guerrilla tactics because they did not have the power to grasp the german army in head on confrontation. but the germans were not able to

suppress the resistance of the guerrillas either. though the invaders decided to starve the population to one of the commanders of the german troops kept in wagon. heim wrote only anger and one can lead to final submission. military actions alone will remain more or less. a drop in the ocean, blasphemous bland work. the invaders burned villages and fields. in 2 years, germany deliberately starved up to 300000 people to death. later, the monstrous experience of the 2nd right in tanzania was copied by the 3rd right, led by the nazis in order to extricate the peoples of europe. the oh i sort of get sold, sold on the road. so it's yeah. so the milk now guys really?

me right of here. yeah. the you guys have to push. push. no, that option to stop. you 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 by. it looks like we're good to look at that. look at this beautiful villas to, to be up the hill is the 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 coming, they buy choose from you. yeah, go buy jeans or master class. they learn how to make g o,

they come and learn how to make g for 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 be home reward every mean under your ok. is there any upgrades or warning rooms for you? that's it. what do you pay for oil change day 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 and 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. talk to good morning. few minutes with a this is romano like to why i was really good. this is this is called to tell you the garden. so dried tomatoes, bell peppers, the metal metal. grumpy with rush. shockley. yes. i'm a sick man, but you know, don't hold it against the wall. i'm 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 for types, you know, 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 went st. petersburg, russia right now my 1st time,

and it's probably the coldest day since i have arrived in russia. i am feeling it to my bones right now. the deals are due to it up how you doing more? here's the role of the frozen as well. the more you it's a motor on so you can feel anything. oh no you came. i think you brought this weather with you man. yeah, i'm not good either. 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 in the next man, if there's no need to get it. and that's american, the us embassies and 4 countries that come after me is wild. and so we have 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 file on my wife. they've interrogated me, they visited me in boulder in prison personally as the i came,

they tried to make deals. and also never could microsoft. i covered 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 in new or is already lived in europe the and you can prove this. yeah, i do all that. and then they said they told the newspaper, the indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped him with the problem was, i was a united states and neither was he the and just 2 months prior, the same judge who set this whole thing up, put him on a plane using please 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 started the police take away, put him on a plane and then he the same judge, basically the foundation for get up and, 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 guy does the sort of thing, the only thing is ever fixed. it has massive publicity and i work the social media sometimes just any dance or you're gonna have to do is you're losing thing. yeah. i'm a 49 year old old man, but social media works right. yeah, i have a 150 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 that big. 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 ones that list. were you ever contracted by the government? no, never. so do you think maybe this is just me being serious and use things 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 floors or anything and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had a good range. okay. 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 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 gonna happen. we never discussed this stuff. my family would never give me information about that. i would never ask. russian may have and i don't have to have this, but maybe they offer me this island because i believe russian was far about more case my chase 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 secure. right, americans ask me all the time if that covers a choice, be safe and americans to be more safe in the cities here than they are home. i say this a lot to people 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 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 or 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 as it's really crazy. and i filled the metro's here and people like where the people to. yeah. where's the feet? yes, i drove out, i'd see the videos all the time and they always ask the same thing. like me chat is 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, so we decided to drive to the market and see for our search support month. oh wow. look at this place. funny. uh, on the search uh, bill. me see the pictures, but yeah, yeah. they are just really nice. easy on. yeah. yeah, yeah. i have come to spy on your phone to to get everybody and uh if they have to made it here or not. uh,

they said russian. okay. just a minute and let's take a look. i think there's 6 on me. does that look like the tomato? what in the tomato i like. yeah. tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, all the way down to me is tomatoes, tomatoes. that all the way down to main estimate is man is yeah. so it's all 1st of all, look at these because i've seen this based on the look joe, look right over here or 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, i'm sorry. what it like, tucked them into their jacket. last one. yeah. these are very high swings. papa has to be careful not to push you too. hi. okay. your wife was telling me when she was

on the forms for like mothers in america. yeah. so they talked 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 in america, not all, but it seems like a small portion i'd say are just framed i've never been felt safe for my entire life than living here. moscow is pillsbury state bank. people help us around the city all the time and moscow 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 going to take the kids from the area the get the cities. yeah, they had a part for kids. caldwell, the fun, thousands of people over a decade,
