Derek Huffman, a 46-year-old Texan father who relocated his family to Russia to escape woke ideology, has been unexpectedly sent to the frontlines of the war against Ukraine, despite assurances of a non-combat role in the Russian military.
Huffman moved his wife, DeAnna, and their three daughters, along with their husky, to Istra near Moscow under Russia's Shared Values visa scheme, designed to attract foreigners who reject neoliberal ideology.
