Well, I wasn't planning on going to Germany. Although there was a real opportunity to settle anywhere in the world. I traveled around the world quite a bit, and I must admit that my Soviet education helped me everywhere. But I didn't look for professional work in other parts of the world.alexandrow wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 7:06 pmMy fault. I mean absolutely free of charge. Like you in Soviet UnionIt might surprise you, but I also have a university education, and it was all for nothing. In Germany.
I was happy with everything in the USSR, and now I'm happy with everything in Russia, even though I understand perfectly well that there is no such thing as an ideal place to live. Although I've been through a lot, including some problems and a subjective feeling of injustice, especially during the nightmarish 1990s.
I understand that you know the Russian mentality and language. You know, it's like in the famous Russian film: "This is my homeland, son!" Maybe it seems banal to some, but I don't care. This is my homeland, my ancestors, my family, and my children. I hope they will be happy in Russia.
And there is another saying: "It's good where we are not!"
