Father Gleason; I also had an idea that cruise and shipping lines based out of Russia (preferably owned by Russian government) could act as offshore banks for migrants and facilitate getting oneself and one's belongings to Russia. These immigrant cruise/shipping lines might be based out of Vladivostok and other Russian port cities. A Russian- friendly third party country could facilitate atransfer from one cruise/shipping line to the Russian one thereby providing a work around to current sanctions. A Russian- controlled offshore bank could facilitate getting U.S. retirement income such as social security from the States to a Russian bank with conversion into rubles. Let's put the Russian cruise and shipping lines to work (!!)
