NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Here is the actual BBC article link:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000219/

To be honest I am very puzzled why he did it. Article say they gave him Serbian citizenship too, but this is for that he opened a martial school there. But Russian citizenship? I know Gérard Depardieu got also Russian citizenship, only to save from taxes. But no idea why Seagal did it.

Hm.

"The sleeper must awaken!"

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Maybe because Russians like him and he likes Russia.

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

LOL so sad... I guess he wants this country to be socialist and communist, criminalizing homosexuality, blaming women who get raped, making any type of abortion illegal, murdering anyone who dares speak their "leaders" and maybe because he wants a dictatorship Russian Mafia-style?

"I guess he wants this country to be socialist and communist"

I guess you don´t know that Russia is more capitalist country than USA nowadays.

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Yes, I do. It's very capitalistic, but communism and socialism never fully died there. Putin, through his actions, is trying to bring back the old Soviet Union.

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are also welcome to get Russian citizenship if they get tired of western values.

As to Steven Seagal, - it's a good reason to re-watch his classics. It is interesting who is next in line. JC Van Damme maybe? Or Oliver Stone?

Nu chto gliadite? Ne poluchali davno?

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Did he move to Russia?

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Traitor. Shameful for an ex-Navy Seal.

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Seagal never asked to become Russian or Serbian citizen.

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

His late movies are set in foreign countries.

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

"Russia requires you to invest in to a business or setup your own venture that will employ a number of people and generate tax revenues to the country.

Because of the value of the ruble to the US dollar, the Russian offer is one of the most cost effective… and the only from a world power. You might qualify with an investment $165,000." ~ http://premieroffshore.com/10-best-second-passports-and-citizenship-by-investment-programs/

But I think its more of a publicity stunt. Not that I my self not pro-Russia, pro-Putin, pro-Russian Foreign Policy. But I think Seagal does it for air time and that is all to it.

And as for why Seagal, JCVD and others shoot films in eastern Europe? Well it's much more economical production wise and please do remember that big studios are no longer interested in Seagal and JCVD so this is there only outlet now...

I still enjoy there movies by the way :)

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

Disappointing. I am constantly baffled that the more oppressive Putin gets, the more some - on the left and right - seem to admire him.

Re: NEWS: Steven Seagal got Russian citizenship!

I do agree that Russia is kind of oppressive specially if compared to the USA, UK, France etc... However that doesn't mean that because Putin's regime is oppressive that this is some how makes Putin wrong and by comparison the more tolerant and laid back USA style of rule doesn't mean that the US is right...

I do find that Russia's foreign policy, demands, argues, point of views, choices are reasonable and fair compared to that of the USA but if you pressed me on which country i want to live in and be part of... I'll go USA in a heartbeat, No question about it.

@skinyard, Are you really sure that you want to talk about Human Rights and Assassinations? because when it comes to the USA and those who rule over the USA... Well let's say that their track record on that front is anything but Switzerland clean.

Are you kidding me?!

But seriously this is not the place for such discussions.

:) Besides i've already got Seagal on my side so who gives a damn who is right and who is wrong, You will end up on the wrong side either way :)

Steven Seagal commercials

Looks like we've got our boots into politics a bit too deep. Let's get on the right track.

Did anybody see Steven Seagal latest commercials on Russian TV? They are a treat (“I’ll be beating you up accurately but powerfully.”). The man really knows how to make fun of himself.

...English is not my native language either.
