I came here to take the challenge further and embrace yet another part of the world, to break down stereotypes, and to do my part in bringing cultures together. That has meant a change of lifestyle, a much broader outlook on the world and its history, and many hours of language study. Whenever I travel abroad, people ask me questions about life in Russia.
