Free residence permit on the table: Mother Russia welcomes you

You guys should learn that this is not the real world, we are all here to learn something from each other.
And that “Sanctions” are never a solutions to conflicts. This applies at any level, from parents-kids to inter-states relations.
yeah... you're right. Let's have Putin down for a nice friendly chat with some tea and biscuits and try some Montessori-inspired "positive discipline" with him. "One less human rights violation today? Gold star!". Or maybe have a productive session of "gentle redirection" next time he invades a country.
I don't think Putin has time to meet OCT members for tea and biscuits. He seems to have quite a lot going on in his life, including somewhat demanding job, family, social clubs, etc.
And when it comes to invading countries I guess more important would be to direct those who finance the wars, and benefit from them.
@pomegranate, please, do not divert the thread to a heated political discussion. Although pointing at the broader context is well possible here, this is still a debate about a particular way to get a residency in Russia in Second Citizenship, Golden Visa & Immigration. If you want to discuss world politics (pretty possible), please, open a new thread in Let's talk... Thanks.
@Don, I appreciate your reaction; yet in general, the same as above is valid.
The married part doesn’t play too well, but your friend should still be able to find good ladies willing to be sponsored.
If nothing changed in the last years, I can confirm.
Perhaps not overrun but it is (was) easily possible to meet such, especially in cities like Moscow or St.Petersburg.
Is this topic really decisive wrt asking for a Russian residence?
As to a reason WHY I would ask for Russian residence? Yes. My brain is conservative. My penis is liberal. So I have to look at all the pros and cons. Just like "getting arrested for looking at P**N" is one huge negative why I won't move to Dubai. Do I look at P**N daily? No. Do I look at P**N sometimes? Yes. Do I want to go to jail for looking at P**N? No.
Lifestyle is really important for where I live, especially if I am paying taxes there. I guess I just need to visit.
(1) I reported his ad hominem three weeks ago! You will see my report.
My plea to keep the thread decent was ignored.
I waited patiently for 3 weeks. THREE WEEKS! Nothing!
(2) Even @daniels27 reacted to his post here: https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/th...-mother-russia-welcomes-you.45815/post-322808
(3) You all gave the "poor" @John Spectre an implicit approval to attack...knowing FULL well I would come back like a hypersonic missile. I waited again...nothing.
(4) The moment I blast him OUT of the water...everyone is "offended." Like WTF???!!!
Make it make sense....
Go through the thread YOURSELF! Do NOT rely on the links others send you! Do your OWN due diligence!
Start from the top, go down the thread one comment after another, and realize WHO drew first blood!
Also, look at your log to see if "a particular" someone "accidentally deleted" their comments because we all know they would NEVER do it "deliberately."
Trust NO one! Verify everything yourself!
PS. Also, I blocked that "person" a LONG time ago, but he just will NOT quit! Look at my log and confirm since when I blocked that "person."
I haven't had a chance to answer this! I will make a Mentor Gold of it to answer you because this is a fundamental question, and we need ALL brains on deck to calculate "quasi-retirement to the point of no return, no debasement, and 'controlled'' inflation." I don't know how to do it. At least, I am NOT confident I am NOT overlooking major "holes" in my forecast.
The Christmas season is approaching, and I have so many orders to fulfill, and it's mind-blowing. Yesterday, Sunday, I filled 119 containers for my clients! Like, WTF???? I haven't slept yet!
@jafo, please, keep calm. Be advised that I am verifying issues by myself. I admit that this thread should have been supervised earlier. Well, we (moderators) are neither omnipresent not omnipotent. Sorry for that. We have some private conversation with @John Spectre ; I will DM you, too – probably tomorrow (=on Tuesday).(1) I reported his ad hominem three weeks ago! You will see my report.

P.S.
I am aware (now) that you had been calling for our attention at the beginning of the conflict: https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/th...u-post-in-the-uk-or-re-post.45709/post-315655. Sorry. We apparently underestimated this.

Russia right now and Russia in early 2000s are 2 different countries

100% true maybe according to your experiences . Different people will have differing experiences , no need for generalization .
Living in a certain region with a corrupt governor => will paint your whole view about the country in a bad light , even though there are other regions with good leadership.
Your experiences don’t necessarily represent the whole country .
Let individuals experience it firsthand and form their own opinions .
It’s essential for all of us here on this forum, and in life in general, to maintain a civil and constructive dialogue .
You’re welcome to share your specific experiences , especially events that shaped your opinion about this country.

For sure you can go and have your own experiences there.
I have been to most of the regions there and lived there. Moscow is just a nice shell and even not all of the Moscow.
It’s not only mine experience but as well the experience of my friends and thousands of people that were imprisoned just for posting smth like ‘I am against the war’ in their social media, it’s about many other things as well. If you are okay to live in the country where you cannot say any word without having problems afterwards , where you see many old people with 150$ pension looking for food on the street, where police won’t help you at all when you need that and will try to scam you (for example put some drugs in you pocket during a car search especially if you drive a good car) this happens basically anywhere in Russia and many many other things. If you are okay with all of that- please go there and live there, but some people might be not okay with that and should be aware of such kind of things.
It is just the tip of the iceberg what I have mentioned.
Ps
Regarding my exact experience
I have been living in Moscow, novosibirsk, astrakhan, Volgograd, saint-p, Stavropol
And been to most of the regions as well in business or touristic trips
