"We want to save them": Why did a large family decide to move from Canada to Russia?

Stevimir Ercegovac — a former professional track and field athlete and Olympian — along with his wife Karolina and their seven children, literally fled from Canada and Croatia, where they had been living, to the Russian city of Pskov.
Stevimir says that being a large family in Canada is increasingly difficult and unpopular. The final push to move to Russia came when social services began to take notice. The parents feared their children might be taken away.
Now, they are beginning a new life in Pskov: they have received their documents, and in September the children will start attending a local school.
As an Orthodox Christian family, they believe that Russia remains the last ark for people who uphold traditional values.
