Russia lists 47 countries promoting ‘destructive attitudes’

MOSCOW — The Russian government has approved a list of 47 countries deemed to be imposing “destructive attitudes” that contradict “Russian spiritual and moral values.”

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the decree, which follows a presidential directive from August 19 aimed at providing humanitarian support to those who share traditional Russian values.

The decree establishes a simplified application process for individuals seeking resettlement in Russia, specifically targeting those who reject “destructive neoliberal attitudes” prevalent in their home countries.

Notable countries on the list include Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and the United States. Interestingly, only three NATO countries—Slovakia, Hungary, and Türkiye—were excluded from this designation. — Agencies
