Emigration to Russia?

There is a new campaign for the Russian people to bring non-speaking Russian people to come to be part of the so very HIP Russia. If the video is coming out of Russia, then there is some recognition by the Russian elite, otherwise, it would never make it outside of the Russian borders.

It is just more of the propaganda that has floated Russian reputations internationally for decades.

Look, Russia needs soldiers. So, any emigrants need to be ready to pick up a gun and go kill Ukrainians without training.

Russia has been mocked (click here) over a bizarre promotional video intended to encourage emigration to the pariah state entitled 'Time to Move to Russia'.

With a gravelly voiceover that sounds comedic and a monotonous listing of national qualities that feels satirical, it has baffled viewers as to whether it is a parody or actually serious.

The Russian embassy in Spain tweeted the 53 second clip with the titles of the video followed by white, blue and red hearts of the Russian flag on Monday

It is unclear if the video is an official Kremlin production.

The video is accompanied by glossy stock footage of typical Russian scenes ranging from wholesome visuals of children running through fields and Russian cuisine to monuments like the All-Russian Exhibition Centre.

But it soon drops any pretence of being sincere....
