Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing foreigners who oppose their home countries' moral policies to apply for temporary residence in Russia. The decree targets individuals who reject 'destructive neoliberal ideals' and seek to embrace 'traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.' Applicants can obtain temporary residence permits without meeting the usual requirements, such as language proficiency or adherence to quotas. Additionally, the decree offers three-month visas as part of this initiative. This move is seen as a gesture of humanitarian support for those disillusioned with the liberal policies of their home countries.
