Putin accidentally makes the UK a better place

At least 34 people have requested to move to Russia from the UK

What does this mean. So the actual number could be any number between 34 and the entire population of the UK?

Or, does it mean that there is 34 people that we know of. And they're having trouble finding anyone else.

I wonder how many Russians have left Russia in the same time period.

I also wonder what percentage 34 people are of the entire population of the UK.

It just strikes me as a desperate propaganda ploy from the Kremlin. Inflating a nothing burger beyond all proportion.

I wish our expats well. And the best of luck to 'em.

That group of 34 people moving to Russia have been referred to by some as the Russia 34, or R34 for short.

Yeah, I saw that.

They even setup an entire website dedicated to the magnificence of Putin.

Just search for "R34 Putin Russia"

The current population of the UK is somewhere around 68 million.

Thats enough people that you could probably find “dozens” who would say yes to just about anything.

Brave people... Not clever but brave.

Do they have to give up their UK citizenship for this?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

Who cares when they die in the trenches some weeks from now?

You mean it’s not for painting and decorating jobs after all ?

[-] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 14 points 7 hours ago

34 people from the UK according to the Torygraph. Loads

Defectors: "There are dozens of us... DOZENS!"

[-] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 1 points 36 minutes ago

It's only just dozens, I mean it's 2 and a bit dozen, technically correct which is the worst kind of correct
