An American family of five, the Hares, has received asylum certificates in a Moscow police department, allowing them to live and work in Russia. They relocated from Texas, feeling their way of life was threatened. The family, described as devout Christians, views their move as securing a future aligned with traditional family values. They believe Russia offers a safer environment amid perceived moral decay in the West. The Hares exemplify a growing trend of Westerners migrating to Russia for conservative values, although they may encounter challenges like legal issues and financial hardships.
"I feel like I've been put on an ark of safety for my family," 61-year-old Leo Hare said at the time. "I want to thank President [Vladimir] Putin for allowing Russia to become a good place for families in this world climate."
"In a small way it feels like I just got married to Russia," echoed his wife, Chantelle Hare. "I look forward to building a future here with my family. I look forward to the opportunities that my sons will have here."
