Moscow circus in Moskva three times over the years.
Many many Orthodox churches from Arkhangelsk to Rostov on Don.
Entered the Orthodox church officially 25 yrs ago at a Russian cathedral in Seattle.
Been to the Black Sea and Tbilisi.
To the border of Ukraine during one of the Chechen wars
with a gun carrying guard.
Lived in Rostov on Don with a newly adopted child (number four) for weeks as required by the court.
Went all over the city. By then my Russian was very good
and I was completely comfortable there.
You Freepers with your “I know someone in Russia or Ukraine” absolutely kill me.
I took three of my kids to a black tie dinner at the Russian embassy in DC where my adopted son - age ten - spoke at the podium and took down the house.
Had the most amazing caviar.There was a fantastic balaika band playing in the hall.
Buncha armchair slavs. Posting here like you get Russia.
And you know **nothing** about Russia.
“You Freepers with your “I know someone in Russia or Ukraine” absolutely kill me.”
You really should not ridicule.
I have traveled also, lived and have adopted in Russia.
Two of my Russian ‘children’ are now engaged to be married to Russian-to-be-spouses! I share this so hopefully you will be more careful with your comments.
