The residency route, dubbed the Shared Values Visa (SVV), simplifies relocation to Russia, as the effort doesn’t require passing Russian language, history, or legislation tests.

The number of applications in the UK reportedly increased by 226%; according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, “thousands of people” come to Russian embassies in [[NATO]] countries to get relevant documents,” as said by [[Maria Zakharova]], adding that people want to protect their kids “from having their genitals twisted and rearranged” by state law and [[public school]] teachers without parental consent.
