Over the past year, hundreds of thousands of Russians have left Russia for different countries of the world and even, perhaps, found their new home there. One of these countries has become hospitable Armenia. What could be faster and easier than relocation to Armenia? This country has undeniable advantages. The main one is visa-free entry and the ability to enter without a passport, as well as the good attitude of the local population, low prices and favorable conditions for starting a business.
