Small story from the local RusDeu community:
Couple, both in their mid 50s. Had good jobs, paid off their condo, etc. Have sold everything to return to Rodina! There you would finally be free, no Greens! No gays on the streets, etc.
7 months later:
Savings gone, Russia is probably not a paradise to start your own business. When asked how the man would earn his money, he was offered a contract with the military. Well, now you can start from scratch again.
I told them that they should be grateful to the gay, green dictatorship in Germany that they still have their German citizenship. And asked the supreme patriot why he wasn't at the front for his beloved Russia. Didn't go down so well...
So when the opportunity arose to escape from there, they were all Germans.
Here they were Germans at the beginning, then came the usual formation of subcultures and on top of that they have been consuming Rus propaganda for 20 years.
Ironically, many of the first purchases were satellite dishes to be able to receive Russian television.
It must also be taken into account that there is no such thing as a homogeneous group of RusDeu.
Many have married into the family and you often notice the difference to families like mine, for example.
