Putin has decided that Russia is going to be a 'safe haven' for people who want to trade liberal Western ways for Russian 'moral values'

• Putin has signed a decree that Russia will welcome foreigners who want to escape Western liberal ideals.
• Applicants may include those from countries unaligned with "Russian spiritual and moral values."
• The application process has been simplified, and visas will be issued as soon as next month.

Russia, in many ways an authoritarian state, has designated itself as a "safe haven" for citizens of Western countries looking to escape "destructive neoliberal ideas."
