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.
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.
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"
That’d be about 0.00005% I think.
It's around one in two million.
