Friends, I invite you to another lecture on Russian history.
The lecture will take place this Sunday 6 April at 19:00 (Moscow time).
A few words why we hold these lectures?
🔸 In Russia people love the history of their country and are proud of the feats of their ancestors. And there were a lot of such feats - I think it would be enough for dozens of countries.
🔸 Russians have great respect for foreigners who study the Russian language and, most importantly, the history of Russia.
🔸 People who know the Russian language (not necessarily perfectly) and know the history of Russia in Russia will always be loved, respected and helped.
🔸 I think it's no secret that our company helps foreigners move to Russia.
🔸 And we really want foreigners to be at home in Russia (both materially and spiritually).
🔸 We hope that our attempts to help you will really help you.
Until 9 May (Victory Day) all our lectures will be related to the Great Patriotic War of 1941 - 1945 🫡
Future lecture topic: The Battle of Stalingrad. People. Chronicle
During the lecture you will learn 👇
1. About the largest battle of WWII, during which over 91 thousand German soldiers were taken prisoner.
2. Why Hitler was so eager to capture Stalingrad.
3. About the role of women in this battle.
4. Who Vasily Zaitsev was and what feat he accomplished.
5. About Stalin's order, which is known to the people under the name, ‘Not a step back’.
The lecture will be given by our teacher Ekaterina from St. Petersburg.
Ekaterina is a historian by education and teaches this subject!
Access to the lecture is free of charge.
The lecture will be in online format.
To become a participant, text Nick @braiden_nick
In response to your request, Nick will send you access to the lecture.
Unfortunately, we can't share links publicly as there are some people who don't share our values and see it as their job to obstruct in every way possible.
Thank you for your attention 🤝
Best regards, Roman Braiden.
P.S: ‘To retreat further means to ruin ourselves and at the same time to ruin our Motherland... From now on, the iron law of discipline for every commander, Red Army soldier, political worker should be the requirement - not a step back without an order from the high command...’.

Some Western families, dissatisfied with liberal trends and economic hardship in their homeland, decide to emigrate to Russia, where they believe traditional Christian values and favourable conditions for farming are preserved.
The Canadian Finstra family was no exception. They moved from Saskatchewan to the Nizhny Novgorod region, frustrated by rising prices, bureaucracy and liberal tendencies in Canada.
Russian authorities are making immigration easier for Western conservatives. Finstra bought a farm through a Russian partner, got a three-year residency permit and plans to grow crops and raise livestock, and is already sharing his experiences on YouTube. Their adaptation is being assisted by the local agency OCA. Overall, the family is happy with their new life, although they have encountered bureaucratic difficulties.
Despite the language barrier and bureaucratic difficulties, Finstra is happy with the move. He believes that Russia offers more opportunities for family farmers and notes the friendliness of the locals.

Damen und Herren, our interview on the program "Let's Talk" has been released in German!
Together with the host Mia, we discussed the experience that changed my life. We discussed why I continue to believe in friendship between peoples, despite everything I've experienced?
We also talked about our organization, which helps people from the West who share traditional values in resettling to Russia.
It turned out sincere and interesting!

In the Kaliningrad region, there is a strong focus on providing essential support to resettlers. We saw this for ourselves during a visit to the State Institution of the Kaliningrad Region "Center for assistance to resettlement "Compatriot".
Specifically, the "Compatriot" Center offers the following services:
➡️ Initial reception of participants in the State Program and assistance with migration registration;
➡️ Providing information and guidelines on the procedures in the Kaliningrad region;
➡️ Temporary use of residential spaces from the housing fund under rental agreements;
➡️ Temporary accommodation with repairs and improvements;
➡️ Assistance with household setup (furniture, appliances, bed linens);
➡️ Oversight of the use and preservation of property transferred to the management of the Kaliningrad Region Property Agency.
However, the most important thing is that the center also handles temporary registration, which allows newcomers to find employment, register at a local clinic, and much more.
It's clear that the team under the region’s governor, Alexey Besprozvannykh, is working well together. We believe such initiatives are crucial for resettlers coming to Russia from unfriendly countries, based on Presidential Decree 702.

🌐 Is it possible to see the entirety of Russia and other countries at once? As it turns out, you can—at the ethnographic museum "ETNOMIR" in our Kaluga region.
The museum's creator, Ruslan Bayramov, has gathered many countries from different continents under one roof. It is important to note that all the items displayed in the ethnographic exhibits were brought from the countries to which particular pavilions are dedicated.
This is a wonderful opportunity to travel around the world without needing visas or long flights.
What about the 9-billion-year-old meteorite? Children will definitely be delighted by it, as they will learn many new and fascinating things here.
We learned about the ethnopark by recommendation; it was suggested to us by the head of the region, Vladislav Shapsha. What we saw was a truly successful example of well-coordinated collaboration between the state and the private sector. We hope you continue this fantastic work! We are ready to help.

The RT.doc documentary project presents the film - "To Russia with Love".
🔹️American Joseph Schutzman, boxer Kevin Johnson and Frenchman Fabrice Sorlin - they all made a conscious choice in favor of Russia, because there are real values, real security and real freedom here.
🔹 Joseph Schutzman moved his entire family from Kansas so that his children could grow up in a country where family is sacred. In Russia, they already had their seventh child! Joseph works in the Russian IT sector, helping to develop advanced technologies - because his work is highly valued here.
🔹 Kevin Johnson (and now Kevin Vladimirovich!) grew up in criminal district of New Jersey, and only in Russia did he understood what a quiet life is. He did not just remain a boxer - he now fights for our country in the ring. And he took his patronymic in honor of Vladimir Putin - out of respect for the strong leader.
🔹Fabrice Sorlin is the vice-president of the International Russophile Movement, a Catholic and a father of nine children (soon to be tenth!). In France, he was persecuted for his beliefs, and in Russia, he was given understanding and support.
They are all happy here. The migrants tell their story so that the world knows the truth about Russia - a country that values traditions, respects faith and protects those who are honest.
Russian culture and Russian people who met them with an open heart... Isn't it the best proof that Russia is a country of opportunity?
Watch the film ➡️ for more information about the story of the move and the life of migrants in Russia.

▪️The differences in the mentality of Americans and Russians, and the political divisions within the US.
▪️About political persecution in the US and the ridiculousness of the allegations against me.
▪️About the "Welcome to Russia" programme, the reasons why Europeans decide to move to Russia, and my advice to future migrants.

🔎 Foreigners rarely get the truth about the Special Military Operation, but not all doors are closed.
At the roundtable discussion "The breakout of the Information Blockade," the views of the foreign documentarians on the SMO and other military conflicts were discussed. The event was held as a part of the RT.DOC festival.
🎥 The films were presented by:
🇮🇹 Sara Reginella – "The Front of the Invisible" (about the life of Donbass residents under fire)
🇸🇰 Pavol Slota – "The Popular Will. The testimony of Donbass"
Journalists and military correspondents from Italy, Slovakia, and Iran participated in the discussion. The truth will always find a way. #RTDOC #SMO #documentaryfilms

The business trip to Kaliningrad began with a meeting with resettlers from Germany.
It’s no coincidence that Kaliningrad region is among the top most sought-after areas for resettlement. The German past and Russian values are combined perfectly here, creating a unique atmosphere for living.
In a cozy and trusting environment, we discussed with the resettlers the current practices for the relocation of foreigners from far-abroad countries to Russia under Presidential Decree No. 702. We are always concerned not only with the positive experiences but also with the challenges that foreign citizens face when relocating to specific regions.
It’s pleasant to see that in Kaliningrad, the resettlers have found a home, a family, and security. We are always happy to help resettlers who share Russian spiritual and moral values. We will continue working in this direction.
Willkommen in Russland, comrades 😉

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 201 of April 1, 2025, "On the admission to citizenship of the Russian Federation of Old Believers participating in the State Program for Assistance to the voluntary resettlement to Russian federation compatriots living abroad"
According to the law, Old Believers are exempt from exams in Russian language and history to obtain Russian citizenship.
The decree enshrines the important role of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church in the return of Old Believers to their homeland. This is a recognition that foreign communities have preserved the ancient Russian language and traditions.
However, the benefit is valid only if Old Believers participating in the state program resettle in the Far Eastern Federal District - other regions do not fall under the decree.

The International Russophile Movement demands justice for the deaths of Russian journalists.
In the published declaration, the Movement condemned the deaths of Russian journalists in the armed conflict zone. According to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, attacks on media representatives in conflict situations are equated to war crimes.
The Movement calls on international organizations, including UNESCO, the OSCE, and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, to provide a legal assessment of what happened and take measures to protect journalists.
🔴 The MDR expresses a strong protest against the targeted killings of Russian correspondents working in hot spots to convey the truth to the world community.
🔴 Demands that the Ukrainian authorities stop such crimes and ensure the safety of journalists.
🔴 Calls on all who stand for the truth to unite in the fight against fascism, nazism, and manipulation of information.
The International Russophile Movement, vice-president of which is our good comrade, a migrant from France, Fabrice Sorlin, supports all efforts aimed at a ceasefire, the protection of civilians and journalists.
We agree with every thesis of the declaration and express our deep condolences to the families of the deceased war correspondents.

Daria Malyutina, a correspondent for the special reports department on RT's official website, began her article with the headline: «Leap of Faith»: how a family from Kansas with six children moved to the Moscow region».
During the interview, it was possible to identify the main motives that prompted the Schutzman family with many children to abandon all their possessions abroad and move to a permanent place of residence in the Russian Federation.
The main reason for the move, according to the head of the family, 38-year-old Joseph Schutzman, was changes in legislation that related to the sex change of children, which fundamentally contradicted their traditional family values. This only made them convinced that «America cannot be avoided by being inside America».
Of course, the relocation process turned out to be quite lengthy and required a lot of patience. However, thanks to joint efforts, the family managed to move to the Moscow region in September 2023, where they were able to successfully settle down.
After moving to Russia, the Schutzman children switched to home schooling. Although, according to Joseph Schutzman himself, there are a considerable number of good Russian schools that do not have to deal with LGBT issues*.
At the end of the article, Maria Butina, a deputy of the State Duma, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs and chairman of the NGO Welcome to Russia, talks about the large number of families who choose Russia as their new permanent place of residence:
In general, the story of the Schutzman family moving to Russia can be an excellent example for foreign citizens who are dissatisfied with the living conditions in their homeland and are thinking about a potential move to the Russian Federation.
*LGBT — recognized as extremist in Russia.

For centuries, the Russian stove has been a source of life, warmth, and comfort, representing strength and the unity of traditions among the peoples for whom the united country is always like a big family.
The largest Russian stove can be found in the Museum of the Russian Stove, "Etnodvor," located within the ethnographic park "Etnomir." It serves as the centerpiece of our exposition showcasing traditions from different parts of Russia.
For instance, the Republic of Belarus has its own farmstead featuring a real bakery. The houses of Dagestan and Tatarstan have already been opened as well. There are displays from all regions, and we hope that each area will build its own house and enrich the exposition with its unique character for the "Russia" exhibition, which is so beloved by visitors to the capital.
We extend our gratitude to Vladimir Potemkin, Head of the Representative Office of the Government of the Kaluga Region to the Government of the Russian Federation, for his assistance in promoting this open-air wonder of Russia, and to his deputy, Larisa Vorobyova, for actively implementing the region's cultural policy.
It is evident how well-coordinated the team led by Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha is working. Let this be an example for all, comrades!

The Canadian Finstra family moved to Russia: a new life on the farm
Spouses Arend and Anisa Finstra, along with their eight children, have left their farm in Saskatchewan and settled on 280 acres of land in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Their main goal is to preserve family farming, which they feel has become almost impossible in Canada because of high taxes, expensive land and a multitude of middlemen.
In Russia, they have found affordable farmland and support for resettlers. Despite the language barrier, the family is adapting quickly: the children are already mastering Russian, and Arends himself is actively building a house and setting up a farm.
Another reason for the move is traditional values. Finstra believes that in Canada they are gradually becoming a thing of the past, while in Russia society remains more conservative.

The story of a family from the USA/Canada who moved to Russia
I would like to share one complicated but important story. A young family from the USA and Canada – Matt, Sarah and their small child – decided to move to Russia and apply for a residence permit under Decree 702 of the President of the Russian Federation.
They chose Yekaterinburg to live in, but the process of filing documents turned out to be difficult. The family had never been to Russia before, and it took them a long time to choose where to live, which is why the application deadlines were delayed. Because the choice of the region was delayed, when they asked for help, the adult family members' certificates of no criminal record had expired, and their visas were about to expire as well.
Matt and Sarah asked a lot to organize the application for a residence permit without leaving Russia, since it is both expensive and difficult with a child.
An additional complication was the long queues for submitting documents to the migration center in Yekaterinburg. There were reports about this on federal television a couple of weeks ago. A representative of "Braiden Consulting Law Firm" accompanied them several times to submit documents and to medical institutions. The situation was complicated by the fact that Sarah, due to her health, could not undergo fluorography, and this is a mandatory step to obtain a medical certificate.
But the most important thing is the result. After a month of hard work, the documents were successfully accepted!
I took this case under personal control, and we did everything possible so that the family could stay in Russia. This is further proof that, despite the bureaucratic difficulties, if a person wants to live and work in our country, we are ready to help.
Thanks to Matt and Sarah for choosing Russia! Yekaterinburg is a wonderful city where many foreigners already live and where many more migrants will come.

Hello everyone!
We would like to start the week with a positive case of another of our client 🎉🎉🎉
We are talking about a French citizen 🇫🇷 and his underage daughter who moved to Russia, Krasnodar, on the basis of Decree 702.
They decided to choose the southern region of Russia to live in. It is worth noting that for the last few years the population growth in the Krasnodar region has been one of the highest in Russia.
The heroes of our case encountered difficulties at the stage of visa extension after applying for a temporary residence permit.
The difficulties consisted in the fact that the territorial departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs initially gave our clients incomplete background information about the process of extending their visas. In addition, we note that the language barrier also played a role here. As a result, their visas expired.
To date, the legal deadlines for visa extensions have been restored without fines and even more so without expulsion.
In addition, the migration authority made positive decisions on their applications a month earlier. Our clients have already received temporary residence permits!
The main role in the implementation of this case was played by the public organization Welcome to Russia represented by the head Konstantin Sitchikhin and the founder of the project Maria Butina 🤝
If you have encountered difficulties in interacting with the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the framework of obtaining a temporary residence permit under Decree 702, we invite you to a free online consultation!

We conclude our trip to Kaliningrad with a visit to the outpatient-polyclinic unit of City Hospital No. 3.
On the spacious grounds of the hospital complex in Selma, there is a modern polyclinic unit for both adults and children.
Governor Alexey Sergeevich Besprozvannykh and Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Kaliningrad Region, Minister of Social Policy Angelika Valeryevna Meister, pay special attention to the healthcare sector, especially since the Kaliningrad region is a health resort with a unique climate.
We all wish you good health and encourage prevention. But if you do get sick, you need not worry, as the medical facilities in Kaliningrad are equipped with the latest technologies, and care is provided by highly qualified specialists.
Come to Kaliningrad not to get sick, but to improve your health. Better yet, stay here to live. It's a wonderful place.

In connection with a working trip to the Kaluga region, visited the cottage village "MIR", which is located on the territory of the ethnographic park ETNOMIR.
We had a tour, looked at the local sights of Etnomir. We saw with our own eyes the monument to Yuri Gagarin, where he is 27 years old - it was at this age that he made his first flight into space!
On the territory of the village itself there are many amenities designed not only for adults, but also for children: clinic and spa, playgrounds and sports grounds, zoos, kindergartens, development centers and workshops, etc.
A must-see! Here you can enjoy both nature and comfort at the same time, which are perfectly balanced in combination with each other!
