Does Western Culture No Longer Feel Like Home?
You've felt it coming for years. Maybe longer. The thought of moving to Russia grows with each passing day:
The government no longer represents core values.
Political decisions contradict personal beliefs. Watching the news makes it clear: the country no longer feels like home.
You're afraid to raise children in this environment.
Schools teach ideas you reject. Neighbors and friends pressure you with views you disagree with. Children deserve to grow up with clear values instead of confusion.
You're exhausted by the restrictions on faith.
Speaking about traditional values has become dangerous. You're labeled "backward" or a "fanatic" for believing in God, family, and tradition.
You desperately seek a society where faith, family & stability still matter.
You need a place where most people share those beliefs—not mock them.
You feel profoundly alone.
Everything around you feels hostile. Others who think like you either stay silent or are planning to leave. You need a community of like-minded people.
