Russia is floating a plan to build a village for conservative Americans who want to move to a 'Christian country' and are tired of liberal ideology in the US

• Russia is building a village for US expats who are tired of liberal ideology, a lawyer told state media.
• The project is approved, and slated to house some 200 American and Canadian families, he said.
• Russia has in recent years sought to position itself as a bastion for "traditional" moral values.

Russia is floating an idea to build a village for hundreds of American and Canadian families who want to run away from the cultural climate in North America.

The village, slated for construction in Moscow's suburbs in 2024, is meant for conservative families who want to "emigrate for ideological reasons," said immigration lawyer Timur Beslangurov on Thursday, according to RIA Novosti.
