Answering a question from one of the users, Stevens said that the official data for 2016 had not yet been published, but provided a link to the file of the results for the last three years for all countries.

Since 2012, judging by the table above, the number of applicants for a green card from the Russian Federation has been constantly growing: 218 thousand - 249 thousand - 265 thousand people.

Michael McFaul, a former US ambassador to Russia, told Will Stephens, who did not miss the opportunity to make a joke on this topic.

"Wow. High number. I wonder how many Americans have applied to move to Russia?” Wrote McFaul.

Max Boot, a senior fellow at the US Council on Foreign Relations, responded to McFaul: “One: Edward Snowden.”

Former US intelligence officer Snowden, who in absentia accused of disclosing confidential information and theft of state property, on August 1, 2013, he received asylum in Russia, and a year later - a Russian residence permit for a period of three years.

Other users of social networks, in response to a question from McFaul, cited the example of a boxer Roy Jones Jr and hmixed martial arts Jeff monsonwho at the end of last year received Russian citizenship.

As the Bi-bi-si, consulting company New World Wealth, estimates that thousands of dollar millionaires left 2 from Russia last year.

In the overall ranking of countries, Russia ranked sixth, giving way to France, China, Italy, India and Greece. Total in Russia there are 127 thousands of dollar millionaires.
