"According to the decree, foreign citizens will be able to apply for a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation without taking into account the approved quota, as well as without submitting a document confirming knowledge of the Russian language and the necessary knowledge about the history of Russia and the basics of Russian legislation. The reason for such an application may be rejection of the policy the country in which they were born (or live), “imposing destructive neoliberal ideological guidelines” that contradict “traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.”
“The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is instructed to issue single-entry visas for a period of three months to applicants. In addition, the foreign ministry must create a list of foreign states pursuing destructive neoliberal policies.
It should be noted that in November 2022, a presidential decree approved the Fundamentals of State Policy for the preservation and strengthening of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. The document notes that traditional values are “moral guidelines that form the worldview of citizens of the Russian Federation, passed on from generation to generation, underlying the all-Russian civic identity and the unified cultural space of the country.”
Traditional values include life, dignity, human rights and freedoms, patriotism, citizenship, service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its fate, as well as high moral ideals, a strong family, creative work, the priority of the spiritual over the material, humanism, mercy, justice, collectivism, mutual assistance and mutual respect, historical memory and continuity of generations, as well as the unity of the peoples of Russia.
“The Russian Federation considers traditional values as the basis of Russian society, allowing us to protect and strengthen the sovereignty of Russia, ensure the unity of our multinational and multi-religious country, preserve the people of Russia and develop human potential,” the document says.
It is expected that the implementation of state policy on the issue of preserving and strengthening traditional values will contribute to the growth of the people of Russia, as well as the protection of Russian society from the spread of destructive ideology.
The Russian Parliament noted that Russia remains one of the few countries that can be associated with traditional values.
“Our country and our culture remain the only beacon of sanity and the preservation of European traditionalism in a sea of tolerant, inclusive madness. I am glad that modern Russia is associated throughout the world with those values that have been called Christian for the last couple of thousand years. And I sincerely feel sorry for the Western world, which decided on collective suicide through a war against common sense and its cultural heritage,” State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov told RT.
As Yaroslav Nilov, head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, added, the decree of the President of the Russian Federation is aimed at maintaining spiritual peace and traditional foundations in our multi-confessional and multi-ethnic country.
“This is a definite signal to the world community and these are guidelines for the development of Russian statehood, first of all,” Nilov explained in a conversation with RT.
In turn, the managing partner of the Rusyaev and Partners company, lawyer Ilya Rusyaev, emphasized that thanks to Vladimir Putin’s decree, foreigners who want to move to Russia due to disagreement with the policies of their countries in the field of formation of spiritual and moral values will be able to obtain a temporary residence permit according to a simplified scheme. He noted that the Russian authorities are positioning this step as a humanitarian action aimed at protecting human rights and freedoms.
“In general, this decree represents a bold and unconventional approach to migration policy, closely linking it with ideological principles. It reflects Russia's desire to position itself as an alternative center of gravity for those who do not share Western liberal values. However, the practical implementation of this initiative may face a number of challenges both within the country and in the international arena. It will be interesting to see how this decree will be implemented and what impact it will have on migration flows and the international image of Russia,” said RT’s interlocutor.
The document was adopted “in order to protect fundamental human rights and freedoms, to support individuals who have made a free choice in favor of spiritual, cultural and legal ties with the Russian Federation.”

I agree with your opinion. I'm like that myself. I do not urge you to massively betray your country. I'm just offering you an alternative.
