The story is actually very revealing and one that we will encounter more and more as time goes on. A jealous inspector flew many kilometers to stop monks in a remote monastery over the seizure of 11 sturgeons and found an illegal immigrant - a Russian with an American passport, and all his entry documents long expired. This is especially relevant now - on the eve of "National Unity Day". In fact, in a country where there are no clear boundaries according to ethnic, traditional, or cultural code, but only a law that is the same for everyone, this citizen is no different from any other immigrant, whether from Central Asia or Bangladesh. Nothing at all. The fact that he is Russian and Orthodox in no way gives him advantages, just as it doesn't give them to anyone else, even a Russian from Kazakhstan, even a guy from Niger who dreams of being Russian, who spends his nights learning Russian, goes to our church, reads Pushkin, and dreams of how he will work for the benefit of the most beautiful country. There are no such laws. There are no laws according to which Russian children or children of any native of Russia who returned from abroad with their parents will study in our schools. As Dugin says, there is no "cultural orientation" in these laws. Those who do not dream of being Russian have an advantage. These have diasporas that have their own lawyers, lobbyists, media, and in extreme cases they will find a fellow judge from Krasnodar who will rule the case in their favor "for a bribe." Therefore, formally, the story with the monk is completely legal and yes - he needs to be deported, and also pay for the deportation, but otherwise we have to go between Scylla and Charybdis, where on the one hand we need to strengthen immigration control, restrict the country from the entry of criminals and simply people with a vague perception of culture and conscience - those who are truly from our masses, and on the one hand they are truly for Russia, and on the other hand it is not a country to make money or a "hereditary enemy," but the homeland for whose sake he will live and work.
