RE: I want a divorce, wife in Russia. What are my options?

berna

Divorce in Russia is said to be more liberal than the divorce laws in western countries. However, divorce with a foreign national is a bit complicated in Russia. According to the Russian Family Code, the dissolution of marriage is possible regardless of the citizenship of the spouses.

I would advise you to take a lawyer's help in your state to make sure that the divorce will be recognized in your country.

4Ever The Man, it is quite evident that your pointless and derogatory comments are not appreciated by the membership of this forum. You are therefore warned that any further comments in a similar vein will be deleted and action taken to ban you.

I note that you received similar advice from another moderator in August 2007.

If you decide to follow the forum rules and stay a member here, would you please update your profile to reflect that you are posting from the UK and not Moscow.

This thread is quite an old one that has been dragged up for no good reason so I am locking it.

To understand why I reserve these terms for Ender, romdur, ask a Russian speaking friend to translate his comment posted in the other thread Interview of "Ender", a Russian racist. You will see that such terms can only be reserved for when we are dealing with somebody particularly stupid like Ender. Does it help the situation? Probably no, but at least the issue of Russian racism is raised, and, quite rightfully I might add, racists like Ender are exposed for all to see. If you are happy to learn from a racist like Ender, then more power to you, romdur..

You make some interesting points, though, and likewise I am under no illusion that all Russians are racists. But the ones that are have no place in the civilised world, so who cares if I call them what they really are?

However, I feel that you are speaking a little prematurely when you say that America has come a long way. Look at the statistics and you will see that America is also one of the most racist countries in the world. You have a President who is constantly under threat of assassination just because of the colour of his skin. That doesn't sound like a racial utopia to me. Western Europe, on the other hand, has come a long way, particularly because Western Europe no longer shares the same war-mongering values that America clearly does. Which is why until the day Americans stop thinking they are better than everyone else, yours will always be a country packed full of racists.

Not in the slightest, darth vader; I was simply disappointed this thread wasn't entitled Interview of "Ender", a Russian racist, that's all.

It's not an argument, Ender, just a wake-up call to let others know what kind of racist they are dealing with.

I wonder, how does name-calling enhance the value of this forum? I think of the forum as an information resource for people who have questions about travel to Russia, or are generally interested in Russia. What kind of information is this name-calling? To whom is it useful?

I didn't read any statement about 4Ever's background, but from language usage, I think it likely that his cultural and educational background is British or American. If 4Ever is indeed Russian, then I salute his fluency, and apologize for my misinterpretation.

Personally, when I (US born and raised) am in Russian-speaking countries, I remember that I am the Barbarian: the outsider, with a small and imperfect understanding of their family histories, life experience, culture, education, and world-view.

I see that 4Ever has posted some references to racist statements by Ender.

From my small personal experience, it appears to me that probably a large proportion of Russians and Ukrainians hold views about race and ethnicity that would be considered intolerant, bigoted, rude, offensive, or shocking by many, many millions in my country. The conversations from which I have gotten these impressions have been with people who were generally very kindly, well-educated, fairly open minded, and in the broadest meaning of the term, politically progressive.

It happens that during my lifetime, my homeland has done a lot of "homework", including some very painful conflicts and deeply uncomfortable soul-searching, on the matter of ethnic relations and attitudes. I am proud to say that I believe that my country has grown farther in this dimension, than probably any other. Through different paths, and in different ways, Western Europe and various former British colonies have also developed progressive attitudes along these lines.

In practice, this means that when I travel anywhere else, I am journeying "backwards" when it comes to relations among ethnic groups.

Certainly, not all Russians or Ukrainians believe that Jews are primarily responsible for their problems, that the various ethnic groups from the Caucasus are predominantly criminal, that Serbia's ethnic cleansing was justified, that you can recognize Jews from their unpleasant odor, etc. etc. I have no wish to practice bigotry myself, by putting hundreds of millions of people into one category! No individual Russian truly speaks for his entire state or people, any more than I can speak for all Americans.

What is on my mind, is that in my country, such ideas seem to be held mostly by people who are fairly ignorant, and who (thank God!) make up a fairly small percentage of the population; and most people understand that even in you believe such things, it is not polite to say them! Whereas in the Russian-speaking world, such ideas seem to be more widely held, and not only by the poorly educated. And people are not shy about giving voice to them.

I could easily dismiss these intelligent and thoughtful Russians and Ukrainians as racists. My preference is to want to understand how they came to their beliefs, and to engage in civilized dialog. For example, to me Serbia's recent history of ethnic cleansing is absolutely repugnant, and morally depraved. Without doubt, a very great number of Russians see Serbia as an innocent victim of foreign intervention, and seem to be blind or indifferent to these ghastly crimes. That good people come to these conclusions, can teach me something about how they understand the world -- their own histories of justice and injustice, of repression and tolerance, of dignity and humiliation, of daily stresses and endurance.

I came here (to this life, and also to this forum) in order to learn. If I can share something I learned, it is a great satisfaction.

Everyone here is aware of the fact that you're a racist, Ender, your opinion on the 08.08.08 events clearly only exposed you for everyone to see.

Of course, being you, you'll think your attitude is normal, and ironically that's where you differ from any normal person. You mention the use of ��, on the contrary, most people you speak to in Moscow are well aware of the concept of England, Scotland and Ireland being different countries, unless they're like you, in which case they're probably not well aware of anything other than what state television tells them. Still, for a man who openly had no issues with the murder of Alexander Litvenenko, Ender, I don't think that ultimately the opinion of an easily-baited idiot like you matters that much in the end.

And I don't give a f*k how to properly call these islands (which government has the clearly anti-Russian politic) - England, United Kingdom, Great Britain when I have an argument with the types like Xela and you. You wrote your location is Moscow. You should know that Russians use the word "��" to denote the whole Great Britain, and "��" literally translates to England. If you don't know it simply demonstrates the lack of your knowledge.

Here's my personal favourite, where Ender can be clearly seen defending Slobodan Milosevic, amongst other ethnic minority murderers:

http://www.waytorussia.net/TalkLounge/viewtopic.php?t=11097&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90

I particularly like the way that Xela owns Ender in this conversation. Ender gets more and more angry, and starts using false history and facts (including not knowing that England is a part of Great Britain!), only for Xela and other posters to beat him down time and again.

Please people, before you begin sainting Ender, take some time to read some of his older posts where he clearly shows how much of a racist he is.

Sure, he may have mellowed out now that he has got his kicks out of his racist rants about Georgians, Chechens and other ethnic minorities, but make no mistake about it:

Ender is a man that you wouldn't want to consider a friend. On the contrary, he has the ability to be one of the worst racists you have ever come across and brings shame to Russia because of his white-supremacist views.

ps. Before you start spouting your diverse ethnic background, Ender, why don't you tell everybody about some of the older posts you have written? Better still, I'll provide a set of links on here so that people can directly see for themselves how much of a racist you really are.

FF News: The Presidential Box--December 2025

footprints

Page 1
Footprints Filmworks�The Presidential Box�December 2025�FF News�
This is an E I G H T Page FF News Brief Bulletin so the footprints team suggests that you be nice and relaxed when viewing this bulletin. This is an Exclusive Interview with South Africa�s golden president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mr. Omar Abdulla. Mr. Omar Abdulla is president of South Africa since 2023 and his serving his second year in office after serving on the 447 member South African government as Minister of Finance. Mr. Omar Abdulla is President of South Africa based on his overwhelming support from the South African community clinching 81 percent of the more than 50 million voters in South Africa. Mr. Omar Abdulla is known as �The Playboy President� earning this title after dating some of the most gorgeous women in the world. Mr. Omar Abdulla is known as the World�s Greatest President according to voters on Today�s Times Magazine.

South Africa the country occupies S P A C E that of France, Spain, England and Northern Asia. South Africa is rated the fifth most popular country in the world after the United States, India, China and Brazil. South Africa is known as �The Honeymoon Haven� hosting tourists who choose to escape once they get married. South Africa is rated as one of the most beautiful countries in the world according to voting polls on FF News.

South Africa-The country occupies the Southern Tip of Africa and is bounded by South West Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Swaziland and by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans- West and East. South Africa entirely surrounds Lesotho and partially surrounds the F O U R black states of Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei. (Before their independence)

--Footprints Filmworks Advert--

The Country�s history stretches 250 000 years where President of South Africa Paul Kruger and The Great trek had their tug of war on land and commercial properties. The country has long been plagued by foreigners who choose to escape from their daily chores and choose to relax in South Africa�s warm climate. The Country has long been raising eyebrows in local communities regarding forced links between Footprints allies and ANC Nationalists. The Country is rated as a country of national pride, accelerated growth, ever-growing technology and increasing national interest.

As the year is 2025 many local communities are creating havoc as many people choose to have their say about the country as a whole. A local listener on SABC Radio Richie Valens said that South Africa should look at growth internally rather than externally. South Africa which has the first teleport service which allows listeners from anywhere in the world to show their interest in the country can dial 911 and can speak to President of South Africa or whoever�s name they type in the database immediately, via voice prompts.

Valens asked Abdulla what he thought about the current Economic Stimulus Plan, currently stating that the South African economy was overleveraged and that financing from other countries should be opted out.
The Presidential Box�December 2025�

Page 2
--Footprints Filmworks�The Presidential Box�December 2025�FF News
Abdulla responded to Valens statement by saying that South Africa was in a trade surplus due to the leveraging policy whereby government Reserve Banks lends money to other Reserve Banks at no interest charge. Abdulla added by saying that lending the money to other countries was a policy that created �Friendly Ties� amongst nations, both locally and internationally.

When Valens asked Abdulla what this meant he said that the community of South Africa was in �Friendly Ties� with second and third world countries to force barter deals and trade deals.

While on channel 911 another caller Sakeena Joosub asked Abdulla what he thought would be the longer term growth of South Africa including growth in terms of improvement of facilities for correctional services, improvement of facilities in the Laudium community, improvement of facilities in the greater Gauteng area and improvement of facilities in the medical centers.
Abdulla responded to Joosub�s remarks stating that the current Economic community was in tatters due to the neglect from the current South African Reserve Bank.

�South Africa has become a country like Japan. We cannot print more money because the country does not need money; the country needs support from our neighbors to sell our assets. The asset value of South Africa is valued at R700 trillion rand, yet if she shed 10 percent of our asset value we would generate double the income from our country�s partners. �Abdulla responded.

Abdulla has long been admired by both South African government nationalists and international allies. He has served on the United Nations Board as Executive Director and served his five years required to study at the footprints university. As South African�s once the student has passed their 12 grade examination, it is compulsory for them to study at any of the 9600 footprints universities in South Africa.
Although Mr. Omar Abdulla is serving his second year in office as President of South Africa, he is challenged by a group of Muslim Businessmen aiming at sabotaging his term in office and his businesses. At a failed assassination attempt on Inauguration day October 25 2023 Abdulla escaped unharmed and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he lived with Allah�s Grace.

--FF News Advert--

Whilst in office he is constantly challenged by Bantu and Shona rebels aiming at forcing him to make decisions that he would normally never approve off.

At a recent rally in Church Street thousands of protestors took to the streets to the offices of the presidency claiming that Members of Parliament were �Eating more than Sharing.� What this term meant in South African Parliament was that the law was not playing its tune to country citizens. According to South African Law citizens who do not earn an income for three years will be banished to neighboring Madagascar.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
The Presidential Box�December 2025�Page 3

Page 3

--Footprints Filmworks�The Presidential Box�December 2025�FF News--
President of South Africa Omar Abdulla said that the �Eating more than Sharing� was a law just newly introduced that aimed at keeping South Africans �At Home, and At Peace.� According to the �Eating more than Sharing� law South Africans would need to live with a minimum of four people per household. Newly-wed couples, homeless people, nomads, and orphans will be taken in what is called the �The House of Cards.�
�The House of Cards� is the first of its kind ever created in South Africa and is financed by The Old Mutual Group of Companies, South African Airways, Pick and Pay and Footprints Filmworks. �The House of Cards� is a development organization that aims at creating leadership for inspiring Managing Directors, Business personnel, previously disadvantaged South African�s and people who choose to learn from the grapevine. For those persons who pose no income they can join the �The House of Cards� which is a weekly payout of R5000.00 per week to the individual seeking a job. The department that the employee works for instructs the employee the chores that he or she should adhere to.

Current Managing Director of �The House of Cards� Zakkiyyah Adamjee said that throughout South Africa the �The House of Cards� was working well with South African citizens. We have more than 50 000 people who have joined us in the last year and it�s improving day by day.
�The House of Cards� is in no competition with a similar concept of the footprints university Adamjee added. The footprints university is a free five year university to all South Africans, whilst �The House of Cards� employs those graduates who choose to enhance their skills further. Adamjee continued by saying that the R50 billion rand initiative was co-sponsored by the government through tax incentives and interest bearing accounts.

The South African community which has 10 million homes with 80 percent of them leveraged through any of the big F O U R banks has been experiencing down faults due to local council municipalities not keeping up to their deal.

The country employs more than 35 million people in sectors of financing, services, manufacturing and developing, technology synopsis, mining and agriculture, youth education and training, military programs, and many other sectors encapsulating a net growth of 25 percent on GDP per annum.

The seven hundred and eighty six sectors of the job sector of South Africa is led by Minister of Interrelationships Jacob Pheledi who has held this title since 2020. Pheledi(5 said that the Job sector of South Africa was in �Safe Hands� and that job hunting among South Africans was easy as the amount of employment agencies had increased by 12 percent since 2020.

--Footprints Filmworks Champion Cars Advert--

�To find a job that pays well is easy to find in South Africa. The problem lies with employees who choose to change their jobs every five years. This makes it difficult for the South African Interrelation community as jobs are quickly shuffled around to improve service delivery and efficiency.� Pheledi said.
The Presidential Box�December 2025�

Page 4
--Footprints Filmworks�The Presidential Box�December 2025�FF News�
The Exclusive Interview held with me and President of South Africa Omar Abdulla was to be held at the Union Building�s on November 11 2025. I was told to meet him at 8:00 am at the Union Buildings National Gardens. My name is Jessica Knowles and this is my story with meeting with one of the most admired leaders of our time.

When I met with Abdulla at 8:00 am, one of his wives accompanied him for a morning jog and breakfast at the Tuscan Union Buildings. Initially, Abdulla laughed at the questions I posed to him, telling me that I should put my pen and paper away, and that I should join them on their daily morning jog. I was a bit surprised a President who led an economy of R700 trillion rand could be so funky and accommodating.
Abdulla answered a question I posed to him earlier about the South African Crime rate, stating that crime had become something of the past for South Africans. Abdulla said that the South African crime rate had dropped by more than 60 percent in the last ten years, due to the improvement of facilities for policemen and the correct method of �Household Hands�

�Household Hands� was a campaign invented by Minister of Safety and Defense Yusuf Smith that aimed at keeping criminals on guard. The �Household Hands� was an initiative that joined murderers, killers, money launderers and policemen to fight crime. According to the eight grade of criminals that prowl South African streets and prisons all grades from 3-8 were to be killed execution style or hanged. This law adapted from the Arabian community is similar to the death penalty; the only difference is that criminals are graded upon the crimes they commit. All 0-2 grade crimes and criminals were to be set free from prison and free to go home, to start fresh.

Abdulla said that the �Household Hands� law took some time for government officials to pass, but in the long run it has paid off. In 2010 every three minutes two crimes had been committed in South Africa, today we have an average of 15 crimes per day, which is a major drop from 2010.

Although, Abdulla, myself and his wife had been jogging for 30 min, we stopped for 10 min to have a glass of water, whereby he said, Jessica what I�m about to tell you might change your life.
And I said, what is it that you have to tell me that can change my life, Mr. President.
I remember he came close to me and said, I was never this close to my dreams and goals. There was a stage in my life where my family, personal friends, The South African government and even my own Ministers sabotaged and protested against me.

When I asked Abdulla what this meant he said that when he became President of South Africa in 2023, a group of angry protesters took 500 000 copies of his bestselling memoir �My father, the president� and burnt it in Soweto, Secunda, Laudium and Lenasia. This motivated me that the world and the people who occupy the space they live in, don�t keep up to their words.

The Presidential Box�December 2025�
Page 5

--Footprints Filmworks�The Presidential Box�December 2025�FF News�
Abdulla added by saying that the community of South Africa does not appreciate the work that he and his 447 member Parliament does.

�Our government and people have become selfish when it comes to our country. What happened to the days where we had patriots and strong hearted men who walked our streets? When Madiba died in 2010, the country found itself anew in terms of globalization and commitment to our citizens� Abdulla said.
Although Abdulla has been President of South Africa for only two years, his greatest success was achieving the treasured goal of listing his blueprint company Footprints Filmworks on all major stock exchanges in the world. As a local tabloid paper read:

�A millionaire at 21, A billionaire at 30, A Superstar Celebrity, at 35, A President of a country, at 40�

After the morning jog, Abdulla asked to have lunch at the Union Building�s Hotel. He told me that he was going to buy a few Cuban Cigars and continue discussions on the South African community and its leaders.
At the Hotel Café at around 11: 25am a flying helicopter F-18 comes to pick us up as Mr. Abdulla has a meeting in Cape Town with the Minister of Transport and Aviation Mandy White. I was asked to join him for the day as I am busy producing a documentary on his life. His wives who are sisters were asked to join him on the trip.

--Todays Times Advert0--

I was surprised that Mr. Abdulla had two wives who lived and travelled with him.
When we arrived in the country�s Capital, Western Cape, I was greeted by Mandy White who said that all harbors, flights, tube train stations and air tubes in the country had been stalled as the power shortage from generators were too busy. According to White the country�s power generators had caused the power shortage. South Africa which is one of the highest producers of natural power was currently experiencing �Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity.�

�Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity� was a natural element in the sky that caused all power to cut off. According to the myth this technology was invented by �The Illumanti�. The �Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity� technology was eco-friendly and causes the earth to require Maximum Potential. What this meant is that when the Sun, Earth, Moon and Jupiter were parallel to each other, �Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity� takes over. According to �The illumanti� when all these elements are parallel to each other, all ozone cleansing takes place. This meant that although the country might be out of power for a day, all skin diseases and natural diseases including Cancers, HIV Positive patients, mentally instable people, and ordinary patients would be cured.

This was a legend that I read about in South African history and perhaps today was the day that I would find out what is: �Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity�

The Presidential Box�December 2025�

Page 6
Footprints Filmworks�The Presidential Box�December 2025�FF News--

�Jessica, I need to make an urgent call� Abdulla called out.
I was a bit surprised Mr. President of South Africa wanted to make a call at this time when the city was out of power. After about half an hour, he returned and said:
�Sorry, I cannot use my mobile; I had to place a bet.�
�A bet, about what?� I asked.

�If I�m right I can double the Country�s reserve in this day.� Abdulla said.
I did not know what this meant, or what sought of code this was, but I could see that the power shortage in the country had caused him to become frail and bleak.

I am a journalist for a local newspaper, and at this time I felt like calling my boss and telling him that I was stuck with the President of South Africa for the entire day. I was so excited to get to know the Man behind the mask of the media.

--Footprints in South Africa Advert--

It was already 2: pm and still the power in the country was off, and I could see that Abdulla was nervous about something. His twin wives had gotten lost in the Minister of Transport offices Goggling reasons why and when the power could come back on. I remember, Abdulla called out my name and said:
Jessica, you wanted that interview, come and chat to me.

I had a whole list of questions prepared but it seemed that all my questions and notes meant nothing because today I could actually speak to him, and get to know what picks on the mind of the most powerful man in the world.

I told Abdulla that I did not have any notebooks to take down notes, but that I had the questions in my mind. I asked him, what motivated him to be the President of one of the Wealthiest countries in the world.
At first, he laughed and smiled and said that he was constantly challenged by his mentors and old pioneers to follow in their footprints. I remember, he came close to me and said:
�I have been around long enough to be fooled, but I always get fooled by good hearts.�
What this meant I did not understand, but I could see the honesty in his face and personality. He seemed relaxed that the entire South African community was in his hands, and all that he could do was remember the days when he schooled in Laudium.

The Presidential Box�December 2025�

Footprints Filmworks�The Presidential Box�December 2025�FF News--

�I am a community leader at heart, perhaps I was lucky with what God has blessed me, Perhaps I have been cursed, but what I do know, is that my dreams always become a reality.� Abdulla Says.
At this time an international call came in on my mobile, and a strange voice asked for Omar.
�May I speak to your superior� the strange voice asked.
I immediately handed the mobile device to Omar, who said that he would like some privacy and chat to the man in the strange voice.

Abdulla returned my mobile device and said that the power in the country will be back in 30 min, and that if he was correct the stock markets would rocket on the news about the power generators back in progress and that medical pharmaceutical company shares will drop as soon as the power comes back on.
When I asked him why the pharmaceutical company shares will drop on the news of the power, Abdulla said that �Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity� took place on January 25 2012 and within minutes small investors on the JSE, CAC, FTSE and FFF became overnight billionaires.

I remember on that day, I short 1 billion future contracts on Pfizer shares and I made 10 billion dollars of my own money. According to Abdulla the legend of �The Illumanti� having inside ties with when and why markets react in the way that they do.

I did not understand this mumbo jumbo share talk, so I said, Mr. President, we have 30 min more before the power comes back, can we perhaps continue with the interview as planned.
I asked Abdulla what his opinion was on the current Peace Treaty being signed between the eight nations General Assembly.

Abdulla answered my question by saying that the medical and technology investment community of the global economy were experiencing major overflow and that the medical and technology fields were the shares that increased in value the most since 2008. Abdulla added by saying that precious metals and raw materials had dropped by almost seventy percent in value since 2008. Abdulla continued by saying that the Peace Treaty was being signed by South Africa, United States, France, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, China, and U.S.S.R . Abdulla said that the treaty agreement would aim at fixing Forex currencies, Precious Metals, Blue-chip companies and repo rates pricing to squeeze inflation.

Abdulla said the investment community in countries was slowly improving as investors were starting to deepen their investment portfolio and risk appetite to outrun bank returns. According to Abdulla the local stock exchanges in the world had four times increased in value, over the five year period. He elaborated the importance of Bankers and Financiers to beware of getting stopped out off market trends.
This was friendly advice for me, as I always watch Abdulla on CNBC talking about market trends. I remember on 29 December 2024, how markets went bullish on a Monetary Policy meeting.

When we arrived on the F-18 back at the Union Buildings, Abdulla said that he would like some time with his family and that I should take a walk and views the 1105 Hectare Union Buildings. He said that he would like to use my mobile as he had to make a call to the man in the strange voice.
Abdulla(40) who has currently four children is reported to have been said that he plans to have as many children as possible. In a recent report in New York Times, he was quoted as saying that the next ten years will bring another four children to our footprints team.
�Thank you, for your time Jessica� he said.

He handed me a shoebox and said that I should send him a proof of the advert in 50 newspapers before I print it. I was a bit surprised that a President advertisers in newspapers.
Before, I left his home, I turned back and said:
Mr. President, I believe that you are a Ferrari Fan and I have heard rumors about you purchasing Ferrari Cars in the past decade or so.

�I have always had dreams in my life Jessica. When I was 25, I had a picture of a Ferrari in my room, and perhaps I collect Ferrari�s these days, to remember my childhood dreams and passions.�
May I see your Ferrari Cars I asked him?
He said that it was a long walk to the Buildings Garage, but if she opened the shoebox, she would make the walk easier for both of them.

So, I opened the shoebox, and guess what???

A One million rand note and the keys to a new Ferrari F430 Scuderia
