This is really not at all true and you need to understand life in Russia is incredibly brutal.
A small example, when I lived there my friends would go to a small stall by the metro selling rotisserie chicken. One night we bought chicken for dinner, the next morning walking to the metro we saw his stall was bulldozed. He clearly had no warning.
Bribes are expected for any interaction, even basic registration stuff and life is cheap there. There's a reason most men there drink themselves to death, it's softer than living.
Yeah, I figured you knew it was hyperbole but others may not. A kid lemonade stand getting shut down sucks, but it's not destroying the child's livelihood. Having your business bulldozed overnight with all your belongings is infinitely worse.
Russia is a poor choice for "passing through", logistically and geographicly - especially since I think for you it's coming from UK which means you pass through most of Europe first.
Perhaps consider like your ancestors - take to the seas and make for the Caribbean? I have heard British virgin islands are more British than Britain.
Unless you are flying a Boeing max!
Is assembling your own plane an option? Lol
A friend of mine is in the stages of getting's his pilot's license for private flying.
All I can say is, good luck...
