Moshe Hirsch was Purim Rov in Chaim Berlin. Maybe he was in Lakewood as well. He and MAF clearly just do what they do (well, MAF is retired) to get attention and a few bucks from whoever and wherever.
This past year there were more Jews coming to Ukraine from EY than vice versa. It has been that way in more prosperous and larger Russia for almost a decade now. Anyone who leaves here for EY is doing so temporarily, usually to learn because he can’t get a visa to the US where he would rather learn. Otherwise, you have a few starry eyed idealists who usually come running back or move on to Germany – or losers, often not halachically Jewish, who are going for welfare. Even a couple of retirees I know here came back from there because they had nothing to live for there.
Enjoy your economic bubble. I lived through three bubble busts already, but all were in places with far more of an economic base than the medine. The medine just muddles through, has a boom-bust cycle that leaves far more people down than up even when the bust ends, and is a net exporter of trained, skilled, enterprising people.
It is only a few starry eyed Americans who still believe as you do. Even many RZ are fed up with their broken dream.
I have no more time to waste on this thread which is just a rehash of 1000 similar threads, and this one was supposed to be about Yiddish. Still, my last words here will be in loshon hakoidesh:
Hashem Hu Malkeinu. Beshitas hakofrim ein anu makirim.
