Russian Dream is better than the American one: blogger Alexandra Jost on Russia at the National Centre RUSSIA
Many foreign citizens strive to move to Russia. For them,
the country is a Noah's Ark and the last stronghold of traditional values. This
was stated during the thematic programme "Platform of the Future: 100 Projects
of Russia" at the National Centre RUSSIA by Russian-American blogger
Alexandra Jost.
"My father is from Texas, my mother is from Siberia,
but since childhood I have dreamed of living in Russia. Three years ago my
dream came true: I not only moved here but also persuaded my whole family to
move to Russia, including my American father. And we are not the only ones. In
fact, now many foreigners want to move to Russia and even do so. They see this
country as a kind of Noah's Ark, as the last stronghold of traditional values,
which no longer exist in the West," said Alexandra Jost.
She stressed that for her it has always been a mission to
show Russia as it is, in a way that foreign citizens have never seen it.
"Now hundreds of thousands of people online are
watching this. Moving to Russia was the best decision of my life. I love this
country, I have a Russian soul, and I see Russia as a land of opportunity.
Everyone talks about the American Dream, but in fact I believe that there is
also a Russian Dream. I believe in our future, in Russia as a country of
opportunities and prospects," she emphasised.
The meeting focused on the mission and personal responsibility of journalists in today's world.
On 2 September, the branch was visited by the National Centre RUSSIA team headed by the Director General, Natalia Virtuozova.
Today, the Far East is a region where the interests of Russia and the countries of the Asia-Pacific intersect.
