Russian dream #video#Russia British trader John Kopiski came to Russia in the 1990s on a business trip that changed his life. ‘After Perestroika, everybody was so hospitable. It was a new life; capitalism hadn’t arrived’. So John jumped at the opportunity to move to Russia at the age of 42 because he felt at home. John eventually met a Russian woman, converted to Orthodoxy and fathered five children. Together they run a massive farm with more than 4,000 cows in the Vladimir region. They produce 50 tonnes of milk every day, and John has taken up cheese production following EU sanctions against Russia. ‘As an Englishman, I have no loyalty there. I have lots of anger and disappointment,’ John says. Nevertheless, he takes pride in his newfound motherland and says his relatives in the UK don’t get his love for Russia.
