First of all, let me apologize for those waiting for new #russiabynatives entries recently. I've been busy with stuff in my life, and besides, I have not much to write about off the top of my head.
I started #russiabynatives with the intent of showing Russia from the inside to the foreigners who would otherwise have no such opportunity. It is particularly important for me to spread the word of Russia being an actual place rather than the red myth towards the US' audience. I hold both countries dear in my heart, and I wish that both countries would forego their petty offences nurtured carefully by the morally-bankrupt governments and those in power otherwise in order to, at least, make a world a place with less prejudice - especially of the kind inspired by the assholes in charge. Powers competing was never of interest to me; people matter far more than the abstract institutions that we entrust to guide us as a collective, and it's for the people that I do this.
That being said, I'm afraid that, beside all the things I've talked about already, I don't have much else for a topic. Not because there's not much to tell - like any country, Russia is full of stories - but because I'm afraid I'm turning a blind eye towards stuff I'm so used to. Moreover, I don't know much about how people of other cultures perceive Russians, and as such, I can't provide any answer to a question I'm not aware of.
Because of that, I ask you to ask me questions about Russia. I'm eager to tell others about how things really happen here, partly because I'm a rare direct source of information and I know how seldom such opportunities present themselves, and partly because I enjoy telling people stuff they don't know but might find interesting, educational or otherwise informational. If questions about bigger issues arise, I might answer them in a separate #russiabynatives post, otherwise I'll provide the answer right under the comment. Some questions, naturally, would be harder to answer - for example, "How difficult Russian language really is?", given an innate bias on the matter of everyone's native languages - but otherwise, I tend to provide a somewhat average perspective on living in Russia, so - ask me anything, and I'll do my best to share the observations I've gathered so far.
