Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing foreigners who share Russian spiritual and moral values to apply for temporary residence
The presidential decree grants the right to apply for a temporary residence permit without considering the established quota and without submitting proof of Russian language proficiency or knowledge of Russian history.
The document applies to those coming from countries that impose destructive neoliberal principles that contradict Russian traditional values. According to the decree, the list of such countries will be determined by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Do they accept people from non-western backgrounds?
I don’t know anything about the immigration policies in Russia, but I’m assuming anyone could go there but paperwork will differ depending on where you are from and the circumstances of you going there. But hey, with this current policy maybe your country will be listed, but if not I guess you’d have to look into it more
