According to the video, which, it is not yet clear if it is actually a Kremlin production, some of the reasons to move to Russia are “cheap gas, no cancellation culture” “beautiful women” and “an economy that can endure thousands of sanctions”.
An admittedly strange promotional video entitled ‘Time to Move to Russia’, which aims to encourage immigration to the country, has become the subject of commentary on social media.
As the Daily Mail describes, in the video a monotone, borderline comical voice lists reasons to move to Russia, leaving viewers confused as to whether it’s a parody or an actual commercial.
The Russian embassy in Spain posted the 53-second clip on Twitter today, with the video’s titles accompanied by white, blue and red hearts, in the colors of the Russian flag.
It is unclear whether the video is an official Kremlin production.
The video is composed of stock footage of typical Russian scenes from children running in the fields and Russian cuisine to monuments such as the All-Russian Exhibition Center.
Reasons to move to Russia include “cheap gas, no cancellation culture,” “beautiful women” and “an economy that can withstand thousands of sanctions,” according to the video.
On the other hand, he also praises Russia’s “rich history, world-renowned literature, unique architecture, ballet and hospitality.”
It also emphasizes “traditional and cultural values”, pointing to the existence of a religious consciousness in the state (through the official religion of Christianity.
The clip also advertises cheap taxis, the country’s services, cheap water and electricity costs and, of course, Russian “vodka”.
In fact, the clip closes with a timely reminder to European leaders: “Don’t delay… winter is coming.”
