An American’s Russian Dream

The Shutzman family did something unexpected for Americans – they moved to Russia. With six kids and a seventh on the way, they made what they felt was the right decision for their family. The result? They’re safe and happy.

Despite fears of discrimination and concerns about people being angry with them all the time, or even being questioned by the FSB, they found a welcoming environment in a country that upholds traditional values. There’s plenty of healthy food in Russia, people are genuinely nice, and, what’s more important, as Jozef, the father, says, “We do feel like we belong here.”

Enjoy the story of this happy family who moved from the US to Russia, a country that turned out to be far from the depressing and dreadful place depicted in American movies.
