80% of Brits want to move to Russia after Duma considers giving out free land

RT reports:

A poll by the Express newspaper found a majority of Brits want to emigrate to Russia after President Vladimir Putin offered free land to people willing to settle the country’s sparsely-populated Far East region.

The British tabloid survey found 78 percent of the more than 22,000 respondents replied “Yes! Bargain” when asked: “Would you move to Russia in exchange for free land?”

One respondent told the paper there was something romantic about the idea of homesteading in the Russian wilderness.

“As soon as I read about it, my wife and I discussed it,” Simon Sharp said.

Russia looks to compete.
