The Man Leading California’s Secession Campaign Currently Lives In Russia
by Staff Writer 9 · Published February 22, 2017
The President of “Yes California,” a movement aimed at helping California secede from America, has received backlash from the public since they learned that he currently resides in Russia, the New York Times reports. Louis J. Marinelli, a 30-year-old English teacher, lives in Yekaterinburg, a provincial Russian city located about 1,000 miles east of Moscow. From Yekaterinburg, Marinelli is leading the charge to break one of America’s largest states away from the 49 others.
The New York Times reports that Marinelli decided to take up a Kremlin-funded offer to teach English in Russia because his wife is Russian. He stated that he intended to move back to California in June.
“Now with renewed attention on the movement, Mr. Marinelli is under scrutiny for living in a country that many in the United States see as an adversarial power,” the New York Times reports, about Marinelli living in Russia.
