What do you mean? I assume you flew to the US and went through customs, with your Russian passports. "Undocumented" would be like sneaking across the Mexican or Canadian border.

That's exactly what it was. Had to flee. Religion, charges for just doing your work as a journalist and unlawful conscription. It was a hard decision and a horrible journey but we're here. Safe.
