Pregnant Russians flock to Argentina, seeking passports — and options — for their kids

Russian nationals Alla Prigolovkina, her husband Andrei Ushakov, their Argentine-born son Lev Andres and their dogs Santa and Cometa visit a park Feb. 14 in Mendoza, Argentina. In spite of the language barrier and the stifling summer heat, Prigolovkina and Ushakov have quickly adopted Argentine customs since their July move.

The navy blue booklets, available to anyone born there, allow entry to 171 countries without a visa. It's a backup plan that well-off Russians believe may come in handy in the ever-uncertain future.
