Putin signed a decree today allowing the entry of Westerners seeking to escape "Western liberal ideals." According to the Russian state agency TASS, Putin has created a "conservative values paradise in Russia." With the decree, any Westerner can receive a residence permit in Russia, even if they don't speak Russian and don't have any essential profession.

Before getting too excited about the prospect of living in Putin's "conservative paradise," an important warning: last year, Putin signed a decree allowing the conscription of foreigners with residence permits in Russia.
