Although it is a taboo talking point in British mainstream media, political scientist Orlov explained the motives of Europeans, many of whom are moving to Russia:

In an interview with RT, Anton Orlov, Director of the Institute for the Study of Modern Politics, named the main reasons that encourage Europeans to move permanently to Russia.

‘The main motivating factor for these moves is children. Those Europeans who still share traditional family values ​​do not want their states and their education and upbringing systems to have anything to do with their children,’ he said.

This is especially relevant for residents of the northern part of Europe, where juvenile justice agencies sometimes act as punitive bodies, the political scientist continued.

‘In Norway, there is a state child support service, Barnevernet. And this same service has been accused more than once of removing children from families under completely strange pretexts.

Including stories with families from Russia. That is, the actions of this service create an atmosphere of threat to the child and stress for the family, stimulating them to think about moving,’ he noted.

Some European parents are also not satisfied with the local systems of raising and educating children, the expert added.

‘Many Europeans wisely believe that children should be taught physics, mathematics, history, languages ​​and other subjects at school that will help in their development and choice of future profession.

But when a child comes home from school and starts talking about a two-hour lecture on the naturalness of non-traditional relationships among certain animal species, parents again rationally clutch their heads with questions: where do we live, who will our child grow up to be?’ he said.

As a result, as the specialist noted, some of these families understand that the system of upbringing, education and support for children that they want is in Russia.

Language and culture difficulties in emigrating to Russia will be inevitable. However, it must be remembered that from the 17^th to 20^th centuries, tens of millions of Europeans emigrated to the United States, Canada and Australia.

Millions were unknowing of the English language and left a culture unlike anything they had experienced.

These emigres were far more isolated and faced far greater challenges than moving to modern Russia, where, thanks to progress, they can travel back and forth to their home countries.

Healthcare is free, as is education: Jobs are plentiful in Russia’s booming economy, and children learn languages fast – a super investment in their future.  

‘And let’s not forget the issue of personal safety. In Russia, it is simply safer to walk down the street than in many European countries,’ Orlov concluded.

Earlier, it became known that the Russian embassy in Norway receives many monthly requests from foreigners wishing to move to Russia. Would you consider contacting your country’s Russian embassy to learn more?
