Swiss media reports that an increasing number of Westerners are moving to Russia, attracted by the country’s ‘shared values’ visa program. This initiative, launched in September 2024, allows foreigners who share Russia’s traditional values and oppose neoliberal policies to live and work in the country without language tests, specific qualifications, or investments. Over 1,156 applications have been received in less than a year, with Germans, Latvians, Americans, and French leading the way.
