Anyone thinking about getting a Russian "shared values" visa?

Yes.

When that country is at peace. I will seriously consider it.

[Yohan]

Absolutely NO!
You cannot trust Russia at all. Very risky.
What is promised to you today, is broken tomorrow and there is no way to get out and away easily from this large area in case something is going wrong.

When that country is at peace.

When Hell freezes over or you reach your 90th.

That country isn't interested in peace

When that country is at peace.

yick says it like Russia is the victim here. As though they were attacked. Russia is the aggressor. They are the ones who invaded a sovereign nation February 24, 2022 under the guise of a "special military operation" to rid the country of imaginary Nazis and save the Russian speaking population. What horseshit

[Shemp]

Yes.

When that country is at peace. I will seriously consider it.

I've considered Russia as alternative to Ukraine. Russia should finish exterminating nationalists and idiots (Ukrainian equivalents of Voyager1) in the Ukrainian army by sometime in 2026. That leaves rear echelon opportunists (who will switch sides as soon as that becomes profitable) and front echelon psychopaths who enjoy killing for it's own sake (who the Russians will hire to work in their own military). Hopefully, strongman will then take over Ukraine and publicly hang a few thousand good for nothing politicians and journalists (and maybe regime supporters like @Voyager1 if he in Ukraine then) from the current regime, as a warning that there is a new sheriff in town, at which point Kyiv economy should bounce back quickly as an IT hub. (Most of rest of Ukraine will be economically ruined for decades, if course, a warning to other small countries of what alliance with USA brings.) But if not, then I'd consider Moscow as my permanent home.

Problem with the shared values visa is that, as a lifelong bachelor with no children, no religion, currently a whore monger, etc, I'm not exactly what they had in mind, which is young Orthodox Christian men looking to marry a young woman and start a family.

Russia offers some investment visas, but the price is more than I want to pay and l really don't want to get involved in business again anywhere or even own real estate. So I'd probably just get the standard business visa. Terms used to be excellent for USA citizens under reciprocal agreement (3 years multiple entry for like $100), though it's a nuisance to fill out forms and send off passport for visa and then more paperwork in Russia.

Business visa terms aren't nearly so good for UK. Peru might get 90 days visa free for tourist use only (no working). You could also maybe get an English teaching visa.

[Voyager1]

What an old fool. I hope they lock you up and intern you when you get to Russia. That will be your just desserts

[MrMan]

You could go there and they could give you a mandatory job to healp the war effort.

No I didn't.

Obviously, Russia isn't a 'victim' though Russians in the Donbas are.

I don't think Nazi's in the Ukraine are a myth. The Azov Battalion have been trying to ethnically cleanse ethnic Russians there for years and the state celebrates nazi's like Stephan Bandera. You being a racist douche will probably think that's OK.

However, Russia being at 'peace' has no inclination about who started what. It is just a simple observation that the country is not at war, nothing more, nothing less. Anything else is just your unintelligent meanderings and slants on something simple I have said.

I think they would still accept you for the visa I think. I am not young myself but like the look of Moscow, Yekaterinberg or Samara as a place to live and work and of course, teaching English would pay the bills doing privates or going to work for myself on a visa that isn't tied to an employer. That's a big one. I will probably stay in Peru but if it isn't taking off like I think it should I will seriously consider it.

Yes, Peruvians are allowed 90 days visa free but Brits have to go and get a visa from the Russian embassy, I can't see that changing anytime in the future either.

I can't see the video but if it is the case of John Huffman, he joined the army.

He took a silly gamble and lost. If I went to Russia to live tomorrow, no-one is pressganging me into the army.

He volunteered his services because he wanted the fat signing on fee but he thought he could do it being a REMF.

Once you sign on the dotted line. You go where they tell you, no.1 rule about joining the army. He has learned a hard lesson, if you don't join the army then you aren't going to the front lines.

I have been to Donbass and there was no persecution of Russian speakers there.

The Azov Battalions sported Nazi tattoos as a fashion statement though they were not National Socialists as the German Nazis were

[yick]

@yick you're a douche for living in China for so many years and not getting a girlfriend. Even the Chinese don't want you.

You should have gone to Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine). You could have gotten a Slavic girlfriend.

I have been to Donbass and there was no persecution of Russian speakers there. You're delusional.

The Azov Battalions sported Nazi tattoos as a fashion statement though they were not National Socialists as the German Nazis were.

Time to stop wasting your life in China what's left of it

I have been to Russia. It was great and yes, I could have easily got a beautiful Slavic girlfriend but life didn't work out that way though that was the plan on graduation.

The Koreans pre-paid my airfare as soon as the graduation ceremony was over and I have been in Asia ever since.

The Nazis sported Nazi flags as fashion statements back in the 1930's - what did you think the Swastika was to them? Because you indulge in 'fashion statements' doesn't mean you aren't a nazi or a fascist and the Azov Battalion (Brigade) are both.

Some of the most beautiful women in China were in love with me, if you knew the truth you would be green with envy but culture trumps love in this country, better believe it.

Anyone would be a fool to go to Russia now. If war breaks out between Russia and NATO the first thing they do is intern those who are citizens of those NATO countries. yick is a British citizen. Shemp is Irish. They will throw your asses in some Siberian camp. The Russians like to beat up and torture. Have fun
