I hear there is possibly an opening at Russia’s Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

Vladimir Putin Delivers Damning Assessment Of Tucker Carlson Days After Interview
Also:
After last week’s interview, Carlson praised Moscow as “so much nicer” than any U.S. city.
“It is so much cleaner and safer and prettier aesthetically, its architecture, its food, its service, than any city in the United States,” he said. Originally Posted by VitaMan

Alexei Navalny’s Death Makes Tucker Carlson’s Putin Interview Even More Dreadful
Is Tucker Carlson still in Moscow? I wonder if he was lounging in a café with his FSB handlers, laughing at their jokes while savoring a scrumptious pierogi, when the news broke that Alexei Navalny—Russia’s, perhaps the world’s, most famous political prisoner—had died in a Siberian prison at the age of 47.
Carlson had spent the week following his dreadful interview with Vladimir Putin on a guided tour of Moscow’s most sparkling sights. In videos posted on his website, he marvels at the Kievskaya subway station (“no graffiti, no filth, no rapists or people waiting to push you onto the tracks … nicer than anything in our country”), goes slack-jawed in a grocery store (where food prices are so low that he finds himself “radicalized” against American leaders), and admires the Russian capital’s “clean, safe streets.”
Until Friday, these videos seemed merely risible, the work of an ersatz journalist so naïve that he appears startlingly unaware of the long history of gullible Westerners falling for such cherry-picked displays of Soviet majesty. Yes, the subway stations are magnificent. Does Carlson know they were dug by slave labor and designed by British engineers, some of whom Stalin jailed for espionage; that some of the gorgeous marble was taken from the Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, which Stalin had blown up in 1931? Yes, the platforms, like the streets, are safe and clean, as are most facilities in authoritarian countries, but does he know about their facial-recognition sensors, which have led to dozens of protesters being arrested on the platforms? The groceries at the store he visited are a quarter the price of American food, but even so, they are too expensive for the typical Russian, who earns one-sixth the money that the average American does. Even so, had Carlson ventured outside Moscow’s center, much less into the country’s heartland, he would have found little cause for awe.
But today, after Navalny’s death, Carlson’s paeans to Putin’s Moscow seem still more repellent. Navalny—the last serious opposition leader, the one Russian figure who could coax tens of thousands of anti-Putin protesters out to the streets—will be recorded in history books as the great martyr of modern Russian democracy. Carlson, to the extent he’s remembered at all, will take his place alongside Walter Duranty, the New York Times reporter of the 1930s who covered up Stalin’s crimes, romanticizing the murderous dictator as a great leader—though Duranty’s deeds were deliberate, stemming from ideology, whereas Carlson is simply a bumbler. (Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932, something Carlson couldn’t even dream of; it was better late than never that the Times disowned the prize in 2003.)
At the end of his embarrassing interview with Putin (which even the Russian president later trashed, saying the questions were too “soft”), Carlson at least asked about the fate of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been in a Russian prison, on trumped-up charges of espionage, for almost a year. However, this seemed only prelude to Carlson’s request to take Evan back home with him—a favor that Putin brushed away. But did Carlson ask about Paul Whelan, another unjustly detained American? Did he ask about Navalny? (The interview, which seems unedited, contains no such questions.)
It is not, and may never be, known whether Navalny was outright murdered, as were other critics of Putin, such as former Deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov, journalist Anna Politkovskaya, double agent Sergei Skripal, human rights activist Natalya Estemirova, and Chechen-war critic Sergei Yushenkov. Either way, Navalny died in one of Putin’s most remote prisons, as a result of horrid conditions in other prisons, where he was placed as a result of challenging Putin’s rule.

Yup. A *true* journalist would have questioned the heavy handed dictator tactics of suppressing any opposition to their seat on power.
Just another example of tuckpad failing miserably in his fluff piece.

Tuckems has received at his height of popularity on FOX about 1.08% of Americans tuning in.
He is hardly worth mentioning or being concerned about. Tucker is another persona non gratis in mainstream media AKA including Fox News. Most of his view counts are from duplicates or are only partials aka stop by to see what the hoopla was about and turned off and 30 seconds or less. Still counts as a view; apparently the GOP and conservatives still like that dumbfounded look he has on his face anytime somebody's about to say something, where he looks like he just shit in his pants... You know that slack jaw open mouth breather look.

Tucker needs to make a comment about this, instead of Moscow.
"The war is being fought largely on Ukrainian land, destroying Ukrainian cities, homes, businesses, and farms."
