the, the, the of wanted to come here since i was 121 of my grandfather told me his mom came from russia. it 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, for 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 there. 9 here in a row, 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 it raises goats and it 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 this cited to move here and how he likes it in russia

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 step. 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, 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 drop a lot. yeah. that's just a reality we've uh 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 would. okay. i know you're down as a flash, a lot of traditional teachers, anywhere they flashing traditional switches out of the system that's filling it up with cookies. and these people like child stressed out that being bullied. so they send them home with, we're maybe your 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 hard at all to actually, um,

from gen across this is that the art classes are wholly these parents to the children were attending on cloth, literally this complete inversion. we're perfectly fine shaming you if you're a straight white male and 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 are well behaved. and so let me see what she says are you out of your mind and she starts lane and to me, everybody is 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 dots for live. people had to down. no joke. i took a picture of christmas day because we had a boy's hands. this is like the most traditional in the angle world. most of the boys had and hand bare. i. b decked with bays and rosemary and somebody tagged this animal rights activist group. put out my name where i worked,

who the phone numbers to like, oh, my complaint was that frustrated for eating a pigs had brought it here in russia. you can say what you think were out loud. and there's 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 for the costs? oh, okay, well, i told them, i mean that's gonna spend 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 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, this is a good to russian. see, are you a little russian boy, tables one of his best with the is high chance we look at 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? are you 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 secretary 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 of 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. this goes sideways for the whole world, the euro, russian. so you love this house? what are the learning funny? yeah,

of the law. 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 shouldn't give us an interesting perspective on how things have changed here . one of the things he is 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 tobacco excuse me, another american. so various ideas always come. yeah. and the another yang. a story. go built to go. all right, awesome. it's hard to believe now that jay was a famous shift to even to, to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants in moscow who was also

a dare devil biker in radio host. but he gave it all up 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 to cabs one boil in 3 years. we'll have lead milk. i agreed and there we go. 3 years later the milk starts and what are you going to do, which are the leaders and 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, you 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 all in a board and everything was really bad. you mean? so 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 and was 61,

a senior role and more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i think just want to get back on to russia. 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 at some of the language, some of the alphabet of the culture. several shake hands under a doorway. the boxes solves on the table. man is 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 really happening before when birth or the 16th june was probably reasonable garcey there. in this case, a to communist room full draining the games on the tv. they were the ones writing

the programs right. better that there was a lot of people to anybody you a long here was economy, anybody out of the variety of was calling news river stuff. the russians are guilty. they maybe trump for president or hillary clinton and they linked or e mails installed on watches for how many elections have wayne got into. right. how many o as a session, nations of elected officials, have we actually done 3 grade war against the paper because they weren't a horrible in which the things that the russians available. right. when really originally like the biggest brands, 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 is the change if it's possible,

extinguishing the weight. tabasco sauce made in the usa sanctions of failed. ok. what's the drum? yeah, well, i think 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 to see what car service is like in the russian hinterland. the russian states never as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the

speed the one else calls question about this. even though we will fan in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on the russians to day and split the smooth net, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube, the payment services for the question, did you say stephen twist, which is the the oh i sort of get sold, sold on the road. so. so

yeah, so the notes now guys really? me right of here. yeah. the guy said the 1st know that you got it. you got it. all right, let's see if we can 1st james car. what's rocket for sure, the stop bar looks like we're good. a man, a look at that. a look at this beautiful villas to pull out the key up the hill. this is amazing place here. this is a beautiful village. by the way, a lot of people in america think these villages are disliked 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 cheese. oh, 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 and really look too much different than an american garage. they find out the middle of the country. so he'll be home 3 years. we're really new york. okay. is there any upgrades or warning rooms for you? that's it. what do you pay for oil change j and like m dollars 10 dollars, 10 dollars. oh. of maybe $5.00. $5.00. 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 to next week. this is romano like was really good. is this is the gold detailing and garden so dried tomatoes, bell peppers, stinking metal metal, crappy with rush shockley years. 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 types 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 for more years old or was it 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. take a 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 his note to get it. and that's american, 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 is 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 fall on my wife. they've interrogated me, they've visited me and vote here in prison. personally, guy 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 have a history that to and is approvable, know because when they try and recruiters not like they leave behind a business card to 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. if you all there, and then they said they told the newspaper, the indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped him, but the problem was that was in the united states, and neither was he the just 2 months prior. the same judge who 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 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 in his all of ours. because when the guy does the sort of things, it's the only thing is ever fixed. it is massive publicity. i work the social media, sometimes you see the dancer you're going after doing sort of the things and yeah, i'm a 49 year old old man, but that's options for me to work. right? yeah, i have a little 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 son now

lives in the caribbean and he's still on the missing childrens 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, 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 forest or the thing. and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had a good range. 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 secret type. okay. 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 and get 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 for rush. i may have and i don't have to if there's, but maybe they offer me the asylum because i believe russian was part of about more case my case than i do. right. and maybe it was, i 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 asked 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 philosophy, the slides 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. 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 still in the metro is here and people like where the people who. yeah, where's the feet? yes, i drove out. i see the videos that all the time and they always ask the same thing . like me chat is asked 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 them. so we decided to drive to the market and see for our center supposed month. oh wow, look at this place. funny on the fish. a bill next to the figures, but yeah, yeah. they are just really nice people. yes. you know? yes,

i have come to spy on your final production. not everybody as a they have tomatoes here. not a said russian. okay. just a minute and let's take a look. i think there's okay, so tell me does that look like it's a made out in the tomato. i like yeah. tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, all the way down to me is tomatoes, tomatoes. then all the way down command estimate estimate is. yeah. so it's all 1st of all, look at these because i've seen this based on uh on already was look joe, look right over here. i look at 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 away. yeah.

need a very high swings papa has to be careful not to push you too high. okay. your wife was telling me when she's 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 1000000000 in america, not all, but it seems like a small portion i'd say are just brain 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 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 gonna take the kids from the area the get the city. they had a park 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, 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,
