i stayed on the rushes to day and split the r t supposed next. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say a request, which is the of wanted to come here since i was 12 for my grandfather and 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. 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 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 and 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 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, 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 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 take the a slash, a lot of traditional teachers anywhere. they flashing 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 wrong gender. 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 the amount of schools that have had 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 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 available, say the materials and things. if you didn't hear, you know, nobody could criticize or coming out to me children, well, behavior is what she says. i you out of you online and she starts lane in to me. everybody's terrified. there is no freedom of speech in america anymore. you say something 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 bores hand. this is like the most traditional in the angle world. both

the boys had and hand bare. i b decked with bays in rosemary and somebody tag 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, but 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 them, i mean this goes from the end of last year and i had to go get a cert,

jerry. 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 a good to russian c. o. your little russian boy, tables. one of his passwords. fee is high chance was 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 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. 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,

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 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, and other americans, various ideas always come. yeah. and the another yang. a story. we're going to go build 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. he was also a dear double 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 milk starts and what are you going to do, which are related to 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. 3 things shooting at the white house 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? 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 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 can live in 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, some of the alphabet of the culture sam or shake hands under a doorway. the boxes on the table. man, it's thousands of them. i don't believe in the life of the 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 urges people to leave. but this is what happened before when birth or the 15th june was probably the garcey.

there was not k c a to communist room, full draining all their games on the tv. they were the ones writing the programs right. better and then there was a lot of it was yeah, anybody you a long there was economy? anybody have a different idea? was economy news like this? river stuff. the russians are killed tv, maybe trump, for president or hillary, clint bailey. they linked or e mails and solve the russians for how many elections have we got into right. how many sessions ations of elected officials have we actually done ring raid war against the payment because they weren't to which the things that the russians available. right? when really wish me 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 banding in ports of cheese into rush and j as in suffering from the new sanctions, either attractive as possible extinguishing. tell don't wait. search tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the address? yeah, well i think the same colors. same ice cream. you know, they owe your 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

there's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. is the case of the med, most of the people. i tried to go to the gym, but i'm certainly not ready to fight russia. this is also of soon. this is the 3rd world lunacy re washer. as for so the funder lion likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and business deals to work. so let me, let me on my have very quick propaganda. you know a price here in your i think we don't know the aftermath any time that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. the more questions ask the better the answer is will be oh, i sort of get sold, sold on the road. so

it's yeah, so the milk now guys ready? me right of here. yeah. the guy said, 1st know that option is done. you got it. you got it. all right, let's see if we can 1st james car. let's wrap it for sure. the stuff. all right. looks like we're good to look at that. look at this beautiful villas to. wow. the sky 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 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 the 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 that you find out in the middle of the country. so he'll be home 3 years. we're really not sure. okay. is there any upgrades or warning room for you? what do you pay for oil, change j and like i'm dollars 10 dollars. $10.00. oh. maybe $5.00. $5.00. is it a good mood? 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's 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. this is this is called to tell you the garden. so dried tomatoes, bell peppers speaking metal. metal, crappy with russian shockley. yes, i'm a sick man, but you know, don't hold it against the heading to the northern capital of st. petersburg in american lives there whom the f b i has been and 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'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 dealing it to my bones right now. the pills are due to how you doing the role of the frozen as well. you can feel anything. oh no, you came on think you brought this weather with you man. yeah, i'm not good either. so i don't know to go back to 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 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 raised our house in 2002 in cyprus. they have

a huge fall on my wife. they've interrogated me, they visited me and vote here in prison. personally, as i came, they tried to make deals. and also whenever, for 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 a neighbor 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 anyways. here lived in europe the and you can prove this. yeah, i agree. all of it, and then they said they told the newspapers, indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped him with the problem was, i 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 please return to me because he was visiting his mother for the summer in the us and she didn't want to return him. and the judge said, nope, he said the police take away a, 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. he's done news interviews on american television saying that he was never kidnapped. and it's all a far as the because when the guy does the sort of things, the only thing is ever fixed. it is massive publicity and i work the social media. sometimes you see the dancer you're going after doing sort of thing and yeah, i'm a 49 year old bad man, but that's awesome for me to work. 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 but my dad hollis and i'm not, that's a,

this is actual insanity. chad. so now lives in the caribbean and he's still on the missing children's list. in chat is still on the wanted list. were you ever contracted by the government? no, 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 and 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 say the floors are the thing and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had a good range to. so these were close family members and we lived in the same house phone for many years. and they had basically guess what an american be called top

secret type. and it became pretty evident that somebody in the american halogens agency had some kind of wet dream that thought i could somehow block me on my family to get information. okay. it was never gonna 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 proof of 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 safe. here, 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 of people like back home i had a concealed weapons permit by the carry. hang on with me everywhere i went, 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 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 is that feed the videos all the time and they always ask the same thing like me chat as 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 russia and people believe them. so we decided to drive to the markets and see for our search. suppose to month, oh wow, look at this place. funny. the on the fish a field, they feed the fish or in the 5. yeah. yeah. the i used to be really nice. easy on. yeah. yeah, yeah. i have come to spy on your phone to to get

everybody and they have tomatoes here or not. uh, 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 it's a made out in the tomato. i like yeah, tomatoes played is tomatoes all the way down to me to estimate estimate is that all the way down to man estimate is man is yeah. so it's all for i small look at these because i've seen this based on uh already. well good luck. jos. look right over here on the 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.

so you would have like tucked them into their jacket and walked on. yeah. either very high swings pop. it has to be careful not to push you to hi. 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 sounds like, yeah it's, it's amazing really in america, not all, but it seems like a small force and i'd say are just framed i've never been felt safe for my entire life than living here. moscow is feels very safe. my people help us around the city all the time and myself parks 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 that i haven't given cities. yeah.

they had a park for a kid called world 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. listen, i'm talking to the use 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,

should i call you on saturdays in the morning? are you okay? one thing has happened, which is truly horrible. but since what the ninety's to 2000. yeah. and, and, and you're calling me to see if i'm ok. no, i'm concerned about you the, what are your future plans? i am looking for a job. now that i'm asylum i can work here legally. so that's great. i'd like to find a public speaking job or maybe something, and media on tv, something and st. petersburg. no, because i don't want to move the mazda from mazda is great. but st. petersburg, my job, what do you like most about st. petersburg whiting. like this city, you know, i've traveled to almost 70 countries, i've lived and 12, and it's really my experience in an entire world. i mean, the people here as you see, if you even slightly brush into somebody there to stop and say to hold the doors feels like you're living in a small town. there's something magical about the city to make the snappy here in general. anyway, i just want to come back here to religion and country road to deal with

my goats and my dogs and jazz 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 the way or where you're in wired away or an example to the people in their 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 people. 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 will absolutely most of it the. ready the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground can

1941. the radical right wing was stone, shall be nice. ation seized power and foam, the independent state of croatia. good. pull on 3 in a sense, what kind of a problem with a still a system of these 3 i just got one of the main targets was children. historical sources say because gosh, killed over 72000 children business it, my god, they have done a roll of nose up that of course i say, you know, they may have done one up front that be upset. then we cannot just go a, b, c on shading again. that is not even the germans themselves were horrified by the atrocities committed by the starship. fluttering of that, so on the, on the election bill of global mistakes theme is a new style structure. possibly it can be too tight not to allow me

to research on the the big trouble. no, no. okay. not a lot of jobs in your country is in big trouble. i know you're not, you're not winning this trunk. dropping some big crude plum drive there, and it does not go down well with the lender. so the modulator kicks them out of the white house along with the dreams of striving to deal with washington. how do you come in salt? someone, when you are practically begging them for money and assistance when you're wholly dependent on the, the largest of the american people, and then walk into their white house in the office. and try to be argumentative and insulting. in fact checking whenever necessary we absolutely box each other off. i'm not sure about yourselves. well shifts the reality.
