Moving to Russia

  • I'm considering a move to Southern Russia for several reasons not the least of which pertains to the message of Fatima. I am hoping to convince some priests to relocate as well. It seems to me that traditional Catholic priests would be of primary importance in assisting in the eventual conversion of the Nation. 

    I recall years ago that there was much more focus on not only praying for Russia but as I understand it the sspx had originally set its sights on setting up chapels there as well. This has obviously declined. 

    Has anyone else considered this?

    I do not recommend it. Russia is not 'based' like the propaganda would have you believe. They are also more willing to silence you physically than western nations.

  • Are you Russian? If not, then why move to Russia? They will never accept you as one of them. You simply won't fit in. You are not part of their culture.
    Why pretend or LARP as a Russian when you aren't one? Same goes for any other country you have no real/blood connection to...

    You know who invented the "cosmopolitan" way of life? The citizen of the world, settle anywhere and everywhere, with no roots? You guessed it -- the Jew. The Jews, since their punishment from God in 70 AD (loss of their country), they have been eternal exiles, always a stranger wherever they go. How did they deal with this? They always strive to make their host countries as "cosmopolitan" and "melting pot" as possible, because that's the environment that favors them. The Jews have the most trouble living in ethno-states -- unless it's their own (Israel).

    Say what you will about America (I certainly will!) but nevertheless, I'm still waiting for a better country to ride out the coming hard times in -- especially to raise a family in, in the here-and-now.

    However bad America is, other countries are worse.

    The widespread evils, insanity, and chaos is like a flood. America is like the top of a mountain. Will the highest mountain tops be covered by the flood waters eventually? Probably. Would it make more sense for me to be anywhere else (at a lower elevation)? Heck no.

    One also has to remember that because of sanctions, Western bank accounts don't work there and any flight out is really 2 because of having to find a neutral country. 

    One has to ALSO remember that Catholicism in Russia is moribund. There is a small smattering of diocesan Roman Catholics, but little growth. Four dioceses and one of them is the largest on Earth because it covers all of Siberia.

    In Russia, once you've agreed with your neighbour that you don't like gαy Pride, there is precious little else you will be able to talk about. The Catholic mind is tuned to an ordered Logos which no other religious or political doctrine has, and this makes things very difficult when talking with Russians. 

    For example, a Russian could have a picture of Lenin, Stalin, Christ, Nicolas II and Putin on the wall of his living room, without ever caring about the contradiction. Imagine a British Catholic with a picture of Elizabeth I and Thomas More in his living room?  

    I know the country well,speak the language, am married to a Russian who is Catholic. The news from Russia is not the version presented by western patriots such as Scott Ritter, Douglas McGregor, Alex Jones and the rest of them. And when these disinformation agents visit russia, Walter Duranty like, they provide the version that most satisfies their western patriot listeners. However Russian patriots like Igor Strelkov, Alina Lushavina and Svetlana Lada-Rus are in jail for pointing out how Russia is a not independent, but a useful idiot in rolling out the Chabad Lubovich messianic program. 

    As Matthew said, it's far better to stay where you are. At least in the USA, there are any number of places you can move to where you will feel at home.

    All that having been said, I am strongly rooting for them in their fight against satanic NATO and the USA. If they are helping roll out a "Chabad Lubovich messianic program", apparently that's better than whatever NATO and USA are pushing. The two are legit fighting each other in a bloody war. If they're both on satan's side, then why are they fighting so fiercely?

    And even if it is "satan's minion vs. satan's minion" which DOES happen -- which side winning would be better for the average european Trad Catholic? Because we absolutely have to choose which one would be better for us.

    Because you can't say that a Russia vs. NATO war has no impact, or doesn't matter. Like your neighbor choosing to buy a new car or not. "Doesn't matter, mind your own business." NO. Russia is a huge, powerful country. They are allied with BRICS, a growing bloc of economic and military power. And the USA/NATO is used to export evil to the whole world. Etc. USA is the right arm (power extension) of Israel.

    So the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war matters immensely. More than any other news story going on right now. Will USA/NATO be weakened and have to sit down for a while? Or will Russia be weakened/defeated and be taken out of the picture? Those would have HUGE ramifications for the world order.

    Should I be preparing for WW3, a totalitarian surveillance state, the antichrist, or what? The outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war might determine that. And yes, WHICH disaster is coming does make a difference, as far as preparations.

    What do you know about Russia? Do you know the language? They have a tenuous relationship with Catholics and are distrustful of them. If you  are not at least a Slav, it will be difficult. However, I love her soul, literature, and culture. In a perfect world, this would be a dream for me as they have a divine role to play in our time.


    "Russia's recent nomadic past does not appeal to me, and I am all for civilization. But I dislike America intensely. America is a stinking place where not just art is being murdered, but with it, all the loftiest aspirations of humankind. If it's America that we are looking up to, as [a model for our] future, then I'd rather stay under our greyish skies... We do not have those skyscrapers that have so far managed to produce nothing but Rockefeller and McCormick, but here Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin and Lermontov were born.”

  • Russia would LOVE for you to emigrate.

    American who joined Russian army to escape 'woke' US has been sent to the frontlines, wife says

    A Texas father of three who moved his family to Russia and joined the military to escape “wokeness” in the US has been sent to the frontlines of Moscow’s meat grinder, his wife said.
    Derek Huffman, 46, claimed he was being tossed under the bus after being deployed to the frontlines in Ukraine despite assurances from the Russian military that he would be serving in a non-combat role, his wife DeAnna said in a now deleted YouTube page, according to the Telegraph.
    “He feels like he’s being thrown to the wolves right now, and he’s kind of having to lean on faith, and that’s what we’re all doing,” she said of her husband’s situation.

    The Huffmans had moved to Russia in March, with the father-of-three celebrating what he called an escape from the LGBTQ “indoctrination” in America.

    He was one of two families who reportedly answered American blogger Tim Kirby’s invitation to move to a village outside Moscow to be free of the “liberal gender norm.”

    “If I risk myself for our new country, no one will say that I am not a part of it. Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts,” he added.
    DeAnna, however, claims he was misled during the military recruitment process, where Russian officers allegedly promised him a role as a welder or war correspondent.
    Instead, Huffman, who has no prior military experience, underwent training in a language he did not understand and was shipped off to fight in the frontlines, where hundreds of Russian troops are killed every week.

    That shouldn't surprise anyone who was paying attention, not their words, but their actions. 

    There is a Russian Trad on this forum. His input on this thread would be most valuable

    Clearing the Ukraine and Donbass of men of military age is what's going on in order to create the New Khazaria, the now well known plan for "Heavenly Jerusalem".  I've already posted Russian links about this in previous posts and made the case quite fully.

    I'm just rooting for peace and wish that Russia and Ukraine could cooperate. I doubt the Kievians are particularly keen on Russia's safe and convenient digital rouble.

  • The best thing you can probably do in America is live closer to your traditional Catholic Church therefore fostering Catholic relationships with others. As a collective, community is important for Catholics, and it's even more important now. In my opinion, being in a Catholic desert is not prudent for the long term with a family. When I say desert, I mean 3 hours or more from your Catholic community and Church. 

    But as we all know, the higher paying job is near x and y. Materialism, as I have said 5000 times on here, is rampant, and infects us.

    Did you say F L O O D ?

    A few days ago Spain got the worst flood ever . 110 litres of rain per square meter in just one hour (5" ?)from a hurricane . The destruction is incomprehensible: 100s of cars floating down waterways.

    Somebody better start saying Rosaries .

  • I think the writing is on the wall.  The nation of Russia is gradually ascending from the ashes of Communism and clearly is regaining a sense of the natural law.  Whereas in once Christian nations, as well as the US, the decline is only intensifying.  Further, if Russia will be the instrument of chastisement of the world, it seems prudent to live under the protection of the Chastiser.  All the while, waiting for Her conversion to become a truly Catholic nation.  Imagine living in a Catholic nation!  

    Make no mistake, the hysterical anti-Russian madness propagated by the West along with preparations for war is an unmistakable sign of what is to come.  I do not think the US will be bombed but rather it will most likely collapse into social chaos through the weight of it's own iniquity.
