Oh, boy are they in for a rude awakening!
Russia has a 50% divorce rate, rampant alcoholism and violence. People are largely followers of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which ain't your American Christianity. They were given Russian passports, I imagine they surrendered their American passports which means they're going to have one hell of a time trying to get out!
Have they never read about Americans being thrown in prison on trumped-up charges as political pawns? It happens literally all the time! Not to mention the various families who have moved to Russia for basically the same reason, only to find their bank assets frozen and their inability to speak the language a real problem when it comes to finding meaningful employment. Oh, and at least one of this family's three children is an ideal age to "help Mother Russia against those Nazi's in Ukraine". Let's see what they think of that if the government comes knocking to see if he'll "volunteer".

In other "Russian migrant" news, an American serviceman fled there to avoid charges of possession of child pornography. This guy was in the Air Force National Guard for a decade. He faced up to five years in prison and fled the country in January, resurfacing in Russia and signing a contract with the military to be a drone operator in the Ukraine conflict.
In a video published by Russian media, "...the former U.S. serviceman criticizes the U.S government, saying, "The United States have done things that are very provocative"
"It's been involved in other people's politics, other nation's interests. It should not be doing that." He continued, stating that, "The country is ran by different people than the people that live in the country and feel a different way."
"Our country is trillions of dollars in debt, our country is collapsing, it's falling apart."
"I think that the people who caused this in my country should be held responsible for what they've done," he said.
HAS HE TAKEN A LOOK AT RUSSIA?!
"These people are the salt of the earth, the common clay. You know: morons." Yeah, he got away from a five year prison term, which is pretty much nothing as these things go, by fleeing to RUSSIA?! And he now probably has an Interpol arrest notice out on him if he ever exits Russia for an EU or American-friendly country. Really stupid move. Yeah, America isn't remotely perfect. But RUSSIA?!
What a maroon.
