Live & Do Business in Russia 🇷🇺

❓Question 4. How did your previous experience living in, or considering, other countries influence your decision to move to Russia? You may wish to share: • What you see as Russia's greatest advantage for you personally; • How Russia differs from the other countries you considered; • What advice you would give to someone who is currently deciding where to relocate. Feel free to share your story in as much detail as you like, or simply focus on the points that matter most to you. Your experience may help someone else make one of the most important decisions of their life.

#braiden_surveys №2245 Hello everyone! 👋 Today we are launching a new anonymous poll about the different paths people take before deciding to move to Russia. People come to this decision in different ways. Some move directly from their country of citizenship. Others first spend several years living abroad, gain experience of emigration, and only later decide to continue their journey in Russia. Some of our subscribers have also compared Russia with other possible destinations, including Europe, the United States, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. It will be interesting to see how different paths can lead people to the same decision - and what ultimately made them choose Russia. The poll is completely anonymous. In some questions, you can select more than one answer. 🗓 In one week, we will publish the results along with a summary of the most interesting comments from participants. 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Thank you in advance for your participation! ❤️ To find out why we conduct these surveys and see the results of previous surveys, click here

Ornella Muti and her daughter are also planning to buy a house in Moscow or St. Petersburg. It is not yet known which legal pathway they are using to obtain Russian citizenship.

#resettlement №2242 A German discovered his roots in Russia and decided to move there 🇩🇪🇷🇺 Peer Pallesche moved from Germany to the Vladimir Region after discovering that his ancestors came from Russia. His interest in the country gradually became more than just a family-history search. Today, Peer studies Russian villages, writes books about them and takes part in preserving the country’s cultural and spiritual heritage. He is also helping to restore an Orthodox church in the village of Andrichevo in the Arkhangelsk Region. Peer’s story shows how learning about one’s roots can lead to a completely new chapter in life - and even to finding a new home in the country of one’s ancestors. ❗️A simplified relocation pathway for citizens of certain countries became available under Presidential Decree No. 702 of August 19, 2024, for foreign citizens who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. We wish Peer success in his new life in Russia and in his work to preserve Russian villages and Orthodox heritage ❤️ —————————————— 📝 For a free consultation on relocation to Russia, send us a message at @braiden_support 📰 News Source —————————————— ➡️ Migration chat room ➡️ List of services

#resettlement №2239 Two families who moved from Canada and Ireland received Russian passports in the Pskov Region 🇷🇺 Stevimir and Karolina Ercegovac arrived in Russia from Canada a year ago together with their seven children. The large family became the first to relocate to the Pskov Region under its special programme supporting people who choose Russia as their new home. Igor and Angelika Ulitin moved to the region from Ireland while expecting their daughter, hoping to protect their family and raise their children in a safe and supportive environment. Today, their daughter Katya is already one year old, and the family has welcomed another child - a son named Alexander. Throughout the relocation process, both families received support from the regional authorities. They completed adaptation and Russian-language courses, successfully passed the required exams, found employment and settled into their new lives. Now, after a long journey, they have officially become Russian citizens. 🎉 Because a new home is not only a place to live - it is a place where your family can feel safe, supported and confident about the future. We sincerely congratulate both families and wish them happiness, peace and a bright future in Russia ❤️ —————————————— 📝 For a free consultation on relocation to Russia, send us a message at @braiden_support 📰 News Source —————————————— ➡️ Migration chat room ➡️ List of services
