Who sees and thinks, yeah that's a good deal?

It all depends on your circumstances. There were times in my life when i - living in a wealthy country in the midst of europe - would have considered this as a way out of my situation and not such a bad prospect.

There's a reason these schemes are being run in developing countries, and it's not because Putin wants to diversify the Russian workforce. I could see it being an appealing offer for someone looking to get out of Nepal or most African nations, especially for someone who hasn't had luck with getting visas to go elsewhere or that hasn't been able to get a position that didn't involve leaving their family behind. It's not as though they'll be doing this recruiting in all parts of these countries, either, just as I'm sure they're only showing them the nicest parts of Russia to make it look more developed than et really is in many places.
