I left Russia 2 years ago, right after the war in Ukraine. I initially moved to the country of Georgia, and lived in the capital city Tbilisi. However, I ended up in an annoying situation: because I couldn't return to Russia and I didn't have residency of any foreign country, I couldn't apply for any EU visa. Turns out that a Russian passport can be a huge roadblock when it comes to immigration, especially after all the sanctions and restrictions for Russians that have been introduced. I've talked about my journey on this channel, and in 2023 I finally found relocation help with Reelo and started working on my EU visa. We chose Portugal and its Digital nomad visa. However, to apply for Portugal I had to go through Serbia first. So, why was my road to EU visa so long? How did I move to Europe as a Russian? What is it like to be a Russian in exile? These are the questions I'll answer in this EPIC DOCUMENTARY that I've been filming throughout my process. I hope you guys enjoy! Smash like and sub for more thx xoxo

  • I was a scientist and a higher teacher at a Moscow university. Successful and somewhat illustrious career for the Russian teacher, I loved my job and made money with it, simply speaking. And then 2022 came. I told my students to stay away from the Russian propaganda. The higher-ups tried to hush me. So, I had terminated any contracts with Russian state institutions and resigned. Passed the interviews with some international companies as a Software/ML Engineer. Picked my favorite one, got relocated with all my stuff (from two apartments) free of charge. And now I’m in Europe. Working, living, donating for the good. Including you :) Thanks for your inspiring story, Roman. It'd be nice to meet you and have some good talk one day. Good luck!

    • So if all adequate people leave Russia, what do you think will happen there, it will change by itself ? Donating for the good, I hope you mean donating to Ukraine's defense, otherwise Russia will come to you in Europe, very soon. You're donating to a person making business of westerns' deny to Putin's Russia - why not, it's your choice. But if this person was willing to change something instead of just making big money from it, he would do also a channel in Russian to explain all that stuff to the russians up-there, because we here in the EU know it very well. But views from Russia are not monetized, so bad.

The E.U has it's flaws and problems, but many people just blame every problem and grievance on the E.U ,.They watch hours of anti-E.U content without taking 30 minutes to learn how the E.U actually functions.

I'm really happy for you now, both because you made it to Portugal and because you discovered that the world is not conspiring against you after all, but simply requires from you tons of patience (and money) to overcome the daunting bureaucratic obstacles. Well done and good luck in the future years!

  • 5 years agoI left my country of South Africa for a plethora of reasons . But mainly no electricity, insane violent crime. Being stressed even going to the supermarket to buy bread. Riots , corrupt government etc. Georgia took me in with her beautiful open arms. I travelled around asia. Then got stuck in Malaysia for 8 months (in the worst strict lockdown ever ) completely alone with no way home. Finally made it out to Istanbul then Georgia (had to pay a lot of money to get in due to CO-VID) . In 2021 I got a job offer to move to Estonia (EU) had to leave the Schengen zone after 2 years go back to Georgia (though that Istanbul airport) and eventually met my now wife. Yes even from thousands of miles away. You can make your dreams come true. Believe me I know the stress of applying for visas . Also being on the sort of undesirable list. Well done bro. Good luck on your life.

  • Roman, thank you SO much for this video. I really appreciated watching it. I'm married to a Russian citizen and I'm having to help her battle through the long process of immigration in the UK. I'm very lucky to hold both British and Irish citizenship. Both of our children are very fortunate to inherit both of my citizenships, as well as my wife's Russian nationality. I have saved this video locally to my computer, which I will store on an external drive, along with a few other similarly related videos to show my children in the future what other people have to go through in order to have their freedom. They are both extremely lucky, and I want them to fully understand the privileged situation they're in. I also hope that when I become a grandfather in the future, that they pass all 3 of the nationalities that both me and their mother have given them, to their children. Should they be lucky enough to be in a relationship with someone who holds a fourth nationality that allows dual citizenship, I hope that they pass that down to them as well. The way I look at it, is a "Make love, not war" protest, taken rather literally. Roman, you are a hero and fully support everything you're doing. Take the money from my super thanks and enjoy a nice beer or something. You deserve it.

And it's also easy for someone already on the safe side to think people from a traumatized region can just adapt to a new set of laws and morals even though they have had said traumatizing principles cemented into their minds. But sure if we show them enough rainbows and ponies and don't worry about the logistics everything will be fine! :)

  • This brings back all the memories of the hassle and anguish i experienced when applying for a visa to germany. It was a struggle to gather the documents, prepare mentally for interviews, and to wait for news from the embassy. In the end, i got my visa just a couple of days before i was supposed to leave. Now that i live in germany, i can say that it‘s all been worth it, and i congratulate you, Roman, for sticking it out. I really hope that portugal works out for you.

Seeing you happy now is bringing a small joy to all of your fans because a lot of your videos over the past couple years were really sad. Congratulations and good luck! Personally, I hope that you will make videos traveling to different European countries and also as an American I would love to see you one day even maybe make a travel video about America because now it might be easier for you to maybe visit here eventually if you are interested in it! Good luck and God bless you and everything you stand for, you bring joy to thousands of people by uploading these videos and you show many people things and perspectives many of us wouldn't otherwise ever be exposed to!
