Russian Pensioners Take Over Vietnam

Russian pensioners are actively settling in Vietnam, where a whole residential district for seniors has emerged in Nha Trang, populated by people from Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, and Tyumen. Elderly Russian women are mass-selling their apartments and moving to warmer climates for the winter.
