The news outlet Nizhny Novgorod Onlain drew attention to his YouTube [video](<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4VOO2Ly9yA&amp;t=643s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4VOO2Ly9yA&amp;t=643s</a>).<br/><br/>Feenstra received a three-year temporary residence permit in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod region in early 2025. He then brought his wife and eight children to Russia and began farming.<br/><br/>But Feenstra has now learned that to replace his temporary residence permit with a permanent one, he must sign a contract with Russia’s Defense Ministry. 2026-10-04T14:47:15Z
