MAGA voters are moving to Russia ‘because it feels like America during the 1950s and 20% of local women look like supermodels’

MAGA voters have explained why they left the US for a new life in Russia, claiming the former communist state is a “positive vision of 1950s America.”

Conservative men have cited the country’s Christian values, beautiful women and breathtaking landscapes as reasons for their move.

After losing faith in their hero Donald Trump, some have headed to eastern Siberia, unfazed by the prospect of being led by an autocratic dictator.

They have even expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin, who has chosen to believe his story about his decision to invade Ukraine.

“I think he’s a good man,” ex-pat Peter Frohwein, 62, told the Free Press. “This lie that he’s somehow a dictator doesn’t mean he ever killed anyone because he was in the KGB.”

Frohwein is divorced and has no children, but hopes to start a family. He moved from Atlanta to Yalta in Crimea in July 2023.

“Twenty percent of women could be supermodels,” he said, explaining that he expects his children to speak three languages: English, Russian and Mandarin.

“I wouldn’t seriously consider starting a family in the US today,” he added. ‘The US is a political mess. Socially it’s a mess. Mentally it’s a mess.’

Bernd Ratsch, 56, agrees with this assessment of American politics and moved to Moscow from Texas in 2019.

‘Is Trump better than Biden? Naturally. But do I want him? Would I vote for him again? No. It’s just, ‘Boy, shut up for a second,'” he explained.

Meanwhile, family man Joseph Rose has managed to make a career with his YouTube channel documenting his new life in Moscow.

“I would say that Russia is becoming a bastion of Christianity, and America is becoming the opposite of that,” Rose explained.

“I really think it was God who led me to where I needed to be. I was put in a place where I could be used.”

Many of the expats expressed their admiration for Vladimir Putin and supported his story about his invasion of Ukraine

Rose, 49, moved to Russia from Tallahassee, Florida, with his wife and children and hasn’t looked back since.

“I often say it feels like our positive vision of 1950s America,” he explained.

A Texas program manager, who spoke on condition of anonymity, suggested that Russia offered a simpler way of life.

“People run around America wondering why we have so many problems with suicide and depression, and they’ll signal and talk on the phones, and it’s this and that, and the reality is that kids aren’t allowed to be kids, the father of six said.

His comments carry echoes of the conservative, Christian Feenstra family who moved from Canada to Russia to “escape LGBT ideology.”

Farmer Arend Feenstra and his wife Anneesa made the decision to move their family of ten from Canada to Russia in January, but their dream seemed to go downhill quickly upon arrival.

The proceeds from the sale of their farm in rural Canada were immediately frozen because their Russian bank deemed the amount ‘suspicious’.

Wife Anneesa complained on social media about unhelpful locals who did not speak English, but then apologized after Russian government officials got wind of the insults she had dished out.

The US government has urged Americans to leave Russia after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as relations continued to deteriorate.

Tensions between the White House and Moscow are evident in the detention of journalist Evan Gershkovich, the first American journalist arrested on spying charges in Russia since the Cold War and who has been in prison for more than a year.

This failure is reflected in the detention of American journalist Evan Gershkovich on charges of espionage, which the reporter, his newspaper and the US government strongly deny.

Gershkovich, 32, became the first American journalist to be arrested on espionage charges in Russia since the Cold War when he was detained by the Federal Security Service (FSB) on March 29 last year.
