Bulgaria is on the Kremlin's list of countries with "destructive" attitudes towards Russia. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin approved the list of countries that contradict the spiritual and moral values of the Kremlin.
The document was signed on September 20 and was issued in accordance with President Vladimir Putin's August 19 decree to provide humanitarian support to individuals who share the values in question. The decree provides for a simplified procedure for moving to Russia for those who do not accept the "destructive neoliberal attitudes" in their countries. Such applicants will not be required to have knowledge of Russian language, culture or history.
Why did Moscow announce that it would encourage political immigrants from these countries? The theme in the studio of “Hello, Bulgaria” commented the journalists and former correspondents of the BNR in Moscow Prof. Valery Todorov and Chavdar Stefanov.
"Looked from the side, the law is humane, as it allows people who do not share the "destructive attitudes" to emigrate to Russia. The Russian Duma began its session on Sunday with anti-immigrant laws to vote on and pass. I even posted information on Facebook that Putin ordered this humanitarian work to be done, to save those who want to from the oppression of liberalism, to join spiritual values, and here we can add the Russian church. She currently supports the removal of the Darwinian system from textbooks," Stefanov said.
According to Prof. Todorov, there is a contradiction in the decree. "Those wishing to emigrate must share Russian spiritual values, but may not know the language and history. Then in what way will they subscribe to these values? Another point is that the people in question, in order to settle, must have a certain profile. I don't know if people with non-traditional sexual orientation can be asylum seekers? And are they welcome? Currently, foreigners in Russia re-register every three months. So how will these people who will be granted asylum be treated?" asked Prof. Todorov.
