Russia often promotes stories of foreigners moving to the country for ideological reasons. Many of these expats turn to YouTube to share their experiences and push “traditional values” — often relying on sexualized portrayals of Russian women to draw in viewers.

  ‘Russian girl shows me her ass’ How foreigner vloggers who moved to Russia support Putin, promote ‘family values,’ and sexualize women — Meduza
  
  Over the past two years, stories of foreigners moving to Russia for ideological reasons have become a recurring theme in the country’s media. In October 2024, Russia’s Interior Ministry reported a surge in applications for temporary residence permits from citizens of “unfriendly nations.” Many of these expats, dissatisfied with so-called “LGBT propaganda” and feminism in their home countries, have turned to YouTube to share their experiences of life in Russia and promote “traditional values” — often relying on sexualized portrayals of Russian women to draw in viewers. Since 2023, the Russian government has poured millions of rubles into promoting the country’s image as a haven for disillusioned Westerners. The reporting project Glasnaya investigated how successful these YouTube trends have been and what narratives pro-Russian foreign vloggers are spreading. Meduza shares an abridged English-language version of their reporting.
