Left England with 3 children and survived a flood in the Russian countryside 🇷🇺 | @RussianTravels

They traded the UK for the Russian countryside🇷🇺🏡, survived a flood there, and are rebuilding their lives, showcasing it all on a YouTube blog 📹 @RussianTravels Martyn Gorton, an expat in Russia, an Englishman from Manchester, never thought he would end up in the Russian provinces. But after his divorce, he met Yulia, who rented an apartment near him. They got married💍 and started building their life in the UK. They had a son. Martyn converted to Orthodoxy☦️. But after 2022, the family felt tension and a degree of Russophobia😨. They decided to take a short trip to Yulia’s homeland—a provincial Russian city, Orenburg. But the vacation extended. The British-Russian family liked the Russian provinces and decided to move. ’Russia is the last bastion of traditional values🇷🇺,’ says Martyn. In England, he saw how the Western paradigm was changing, and schools were reading books like ’The Boy in the Dress.’
