Victoria Romanova: “For his fifth birthday, my son wished to meet Putin”

Alexey Stefanov conducted a second interview, a year and a half later, with Victoria Romanova, who moved from Latvia Victoria Romanova.

A year and a half ago, former Latvian citizen Victoria Romanova talked about moving from a small town in Latvia to Veliky Novgorod, what she encountered, and what she expected from the move.

And now she has said that she has not been disappointed in anything; quite the opposite—she and her whole family have become even greater patriots of Russia.

“In October, it will be two years since we moved. We have come a long way during this time. Thank God, there have been no difficulties. As I said in the previous interview, Russia welcomed us with open arms, and that continues to be the case. We managed to obtain Russian citizenship quite quickly and without any trouble. We submitted the applications ourselves, and received a decision much sooner than the stipulated period. When the migration service called me after a month and a half and invited me to take the oath, I could hardly believe it,” Victoria Romanova told journalist Alexey Stefanov.

During this time, she also joined the volunteer movement “The Way Home,” which helps people from all over the world return to Russia; became the right hand of project leader Anatoly Bublik; and is now responsible for media relations, coordinating the project with government agencies, universities, and the bodies responsible for the regional resettlement program. She also organizes meetings in Veliky Novgorod with people who have moved and those who are only thinking of forgetting the Baltics like a bad dream and moving to their historic homeland.
