The Foreign Ministry will be offering three-month visas as early as next month, Russian state media said.
  • Putin has signed a decree that Russia will welcome foreigners who want to escape Western liberal ideals.
  • Applicants may include those from countries unaligned with “Russian spiritual and moral values.”
  • The application process has been simplified, and visas will be issued as soon as next month.

    Edward Snowden is alive and kicking.

    Alexei Navalny isn’t. I wonder what the difference could be?

          That’s a different issue. The point was if she had done it in Russia, not only would she not have been allowed to transition, she’d be dead.

              That is why Chelsea Manning was brought up. Because if she had done what she did in Russia, she would have been murdered by the state for doing it.
