Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing foreigners who reject the moral policies of their home countries to apply for temporary residence in Russia. The decree facilitates the application process by eliminating the need to adhere to the approved quota for residence permits. It is aimed at foreigners and stateless individuals who wish to move to Russia due to their alignment with 'traditional values' and opposition to 'neo-liberal ideas.' The decree allows these individuals to obtain a three-month visa to reside in Russia.
