Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Why Russia, though?
There are lots of nice places in Mexico. Prison in Norway is downright rehabilitative. You missed North Korea.
Is homosexuality not still literally outlawed in Russia?
It's a terrible and gross law but there's also a rich history I want to explore.
I'm Russian, and even though i'm flattered that you'd like to explore the history of my country, nowadays i would advise doing that from outside. Until that imperialist dictator gnome is dead
see also: don't come visit my country right now. we're cleaning some shit up and aren't a safe place to visit.
someday when all the fascists are dead maybe i'll come visit you
So if know why, then why ask why in the first place?
Ok, well if you're not a straight person, not being imprisoned in a Russian jail seems like a good reason to avoid it.
Well, I'm not a straight person. I guess I would just stick to museums and daytime activities anyway.
Russian Project is effectively equivalent to manifest destiny, and the government has existed in service to white supremacy for a while. they call it "russian chauvanism" in the places it influences, but the Russian federation acts as a colonial imperial state
Well, I think Russia is another one of those places where my ethnicity or language could make me a target. Truthfully, I think I'd be more worried about the govt/police than the average citizens.
There are totally safe parts of Mexico. I'll stay out all the same.
Heh, I did skip right past NK, I guess I didn't figure it needed to be said.
There's a Spike Lee film called "The 25th Hour", great movie. It takes place in NYC and has this one line delivered by someone playing a Russian Mob boss, a real intimidating character:
But I'm sure Norway is nice 😉
