With the South African government intent on giving all of the nation's farmland to blacks and white farmers being slaughtered in heinous, horrible violence, Russian President Vladimir Putin has opened his nation's doors to South Africa's white population. Now, about 15,000 Boers are planning to take advantage of Putin's offer and take sanctuary in greener—and safer—pasture in an agricultural grassland region of Russia.

For many South African farmers, who have witnessed their country descend from a first-rate economic marvel to a country now barely registering on the Human Development Index—with an unemployment rate approaching 60%—enough is enough.

A good number of these hard-working folk have pulled up stakes and headed to the Russian grasslands between Ukraine and Kazakhstan, where more than 65% of the land is dedicated to agriculture.
