The best is yet to come
-I don’t like to tell people that I am from Russia – I.
-Tell them that you’re from Moldova – said Elena – Hardly anybody knows where it is.
There are three categories of reaction to the answer: Moldova – she continued:
- Moldova? – they honestly don’t know where it is. 🤷♀️
- A-a, Moldova – they pretend that they DO know.
- Oh, yes, yes – Maldivi!
The world is made of paradoxes*.
At the time when I don’t even want to sound Russian, Steven Seagal says he is Russian, Russia is his home. He got Russian citizenship in 2016. The same year when Serbia too granted its citizenship to him.
Well, to each his own.
The Moscow Times reports that more than 3.8 million Russians have left the country in the first three months of 2022, according to data from Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
4184 people left the Tomsk region – Tomsk telegram channel “Tomsk 1604” says.
Unfortunately all my family is still there. They are not as rich and popular as Steven Seagal. And I worry about them every day.
I just hope everything will be fine and soon.
