Suggest they set up immigration centers asap in Moscow and St Petersburg and possibly Vladivostok for the future flood of western refugees per the prophecies. Like Ellis Island of the early 1900s.
Father Gleason; I also had an idea that cruise and shipping lines based out of Russia (preferably owned by Russian government) could act as offshore banks for migrants and facilitate getting oneself and one's belongings to Russia. These immigrant cruise/shipping lines might be based out of Vladivostok and other Russian port cities. A Russian- friendly third party country could facilitate atransfer from one cruise/shipping line to the Russian one thereby providing a work around to current sanctions. A Russian- controlled offshore bank could facilitate getting U.S. retirement income such as social security from the States to a Russian bank with conversion into rubles. Let's put the Russian cruise and shipping lines to work (!!)
A path for retiree who have a certain income to live in Russia. After all we can bring income and NOT take jobs from native Russian! Lots of nationa have a path for people to retire in their country.
You look really good Father Joseph, it seems Russia has been good for you and your family. You are the best Ad there is. You look so healthy, bravo to you for making the hard choices, being the pioneer. 🙏❤️
Two things seem to be important: money tranfer and luggage. Of course, both actions are difficult right now because usual bank tranfers and logistics has been made (nearly) impossible. Yet, there is and must be a way through third countries. The most important thing that their should be no problems nor additional costs for potential immigrants to bring their money and/ or belongings into Russia.
Many people would need to transfer money (either savings and/or proceeds from having sold their properties) to start a new life from scratch. This should be possible without any taxes. It is also desirable and helpful to have an opportunity to take their belongings, whatever they choose to take along, with them. Sending a sea container or by any other means of transportation would be good. This should be possible without paying custom duties, let's say only once for a family or per person. Of course, one can buy almost anything in Russia but some stuff can have emotional and practical value not to mention that buying everything requires even more money.
By the way, sending luggage was possible even in the Soviet times for those who were immigrating from the Soviet Union. So I think it is reasonable to ask fo it now.
Also it may be useful to work out some special conditions for groups of people, for instance, several families who wish to come as group.
Enact a similar style law to that of Israel's Law of Return, which would give people with Russian ancestry (1 or more grandparents), Cossack ancestry and those that identify with the Russian Orthodox faith (old and new believer) and their spouse the right to relocate to Russia and acquire Russian citizenship in a simplified manner.
Expand on the Native Russian Speakers law to prioritise or cast the net wider to include those who are active Russian Orthodox parishioners or converts and have an affinity with the culture, language and people of the Russian Federation.
- Abolish the 3 - 5 year residency/living in Russia rule
I am in no position at the moment but you all are paving the way for me in the future. Thank you for extending the bridge of support. I support & love with all my heart the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob & HIS Son Jesus, source code, the Bible. Not only is HE always in control, but blesses you.

Father Gleason; I just want to emphasize that a lot of Americans who want to move to Russia feel passionately positive about Putin and how Russia will bring "hope to the world" in the future. We are absolutely sickened by the depth of corruption in the U.S., and I, for one, would like to contribute to the SMO and Russia gearing up her military supply side. A lot of us hopeful migrants see what Russia is doing as a war against evil and we want to actively support Russia in this battle. Living in Russia and helping in her defense industries comes from a spiritual and emotional place; a place of the soul, I believe, for most of the people who wish to emigrate to the Russian Federation. Also, the Ringing Cedars of Russia movement is growing in the USA. Perhaps a kins domain Village concept for western migrants would be possible (???) It's about a lot more than just "homesteading". I think you could safely say that American expats are passionately patriotic about Russia. If I were an immigration official, I would offer a kins domain community opportunity to migrants, and locate those free hectare programs close to cities where labor is needed for Russia's defense industry or energy industries. Please tell your immigration officials you are meeting with to harness this passion we feel for Russia and put it to work for for Russia's advantage. A side note: most of the people applying for Russian citizenship from the States are highly educated and well aware of the heartbreaking demise of the American government. We could be great eyes and ears for Russia in detecting the kind of influences which have ruined our country. We suffer no illusions about the sheer evil infesting the United States. We could spot that evil attempting to infiltrate Russian society because we are wise to it, and have probably encountered it in our professional careers. Put us to work Russia (!!!)
1) Nix the requirement to take a PCR test. COVID has been everywhere and every single person on this planet has been exposed to it and either a) did not get sick, or b) actually had it, meaning immunity either way. The test is worthless and also dangerous for one's health.
2) Allow (at least to faithful Orthodox) automatic temporary residency so we don't have to navigate that labyrinth of "getting quota" without meaningful language ability, and we also therefore would not have to live with the stress of thinking that we have to get through the quota process in order to relax and start living life in Russia.
3) Allow us a year or two with some assistance to go into full-time language and history learning and then feel free to test us at the end.
4) Create a way with other countries for us to establish an account online to which we can deposit our funds that will be accessible in Russia. None of us can come without money. I for one do not trust crypto and if my money evaporated in a crypto collapse, I would literally be destitute. Our "people" back in the US will not be able to assist us in any way financially since they can't transfer money to us for any emergency, and some of us do not have families that are financially able to do so even if they were willing to do so.
5) Allow us to work remote for American companies that can pay us via the account mentioned above as it will be impossible to find work until we are fluent in Russian. This is good for the Russian economy bc a US salary will allow far higher buying power in the Russian economy and we will indeed be glad to buy in Russia.
More to come, but I have to take my son to work, :-)
Accept any visa into the country and then allow for immediate application for residency.
Also allow change to student or other visa within country while waiting for residency Or make a 3 year immigration visa one can change to upon entry with any other visa that gives same privileges of student and humanitarian visa combined to allow admission to schools for Russian language courses for those not seeking other college programs and regular college programs for those who are as well as allow for easier travel to see prospective places around Russia for settling down at.
Also need some help with money transfers and banking around sanctions.
Also open doors for financing homes and autos for those who don’t have the money to pay in full upon arrival.
Partnerships with BRICS and other nations so a visa there will be valid in Russia. The EU passport system is an example. That could create an option to stay short term in South America/Africa allies while planning the nuts and bolts of the movie to Russia (like acquiring real estate, getting money converted and transferred).
Assistance with divesting US assets and transferring it (crypto, silver, etc).
Perhaps the ability to use recommendations from ROCOR as character references or to streamline vetting. For example, ROCOR and the ROC can have remote meetings with Orthodox westerners looking to move and cover basic questions.
It is also important to inform and attract potential professionals who would like to come, especially from Europe and the UK. Since energy costs have risen enourmously there many small businesses, for example bakers but also many others, will inevitably go broke. Those business owners who wish to continue can come to Russia since energy is abundant and rather cheap.
The gradual deindustrialization of Europe will alsoeventually lead to high unemployment and again many professionals, specialists may be willing to go to Russia.
The same is of course applicable to all other people from any other country but I just mention Europe because the price of energy and living there has become more of a problem than in other places.
Is it true that Apostilles expire after a timeframe? Birth certificates, marriage licenses and college transcripts/diplomas are not bananas that rot or milk that expires. Please ask them to accept Apostilles without expiration. They are hard enough to get in a friendly America. With an ever increasing hostile America, obtaining new Apostilles could be a problem. Ask for no expiration on Apostilles please.
Additional thought: for those who don’t have any kind of visa yet, allow 30 day no visa entry like Belarus does and allow for application in Russia for “immigration visa”.

I guess the first request is remove all vax requirements

As usual great news from you...
Most helpful would be that its
1. easier to get visa...
It would give us opportunity to prepare well by giving us time
a. to come few time for a few months ahead of moving....
b. so as to find a place to live,
c. find out whats needed to settle in Russia... and
d. practise speaking/understanding Russian...
Thanks for the opportunity to come up with this
best regards
