Reasons why I don't live in russia:
Since this article was so popular in web, a friend of mine asked to write my reasons! Here you go!
I never hide my nationality! I am russian and I do love my country with all my heart! But seems it is easier to have distance relationship rather than permanent residence!
I never planned on leaving my country, was getting bs in one of the best uni and had a fancy life! For some reason I was getting depressed in st.Petersburg! I don't know why! I always had a feeling I was living not my life and there was something else prepared for me! So I decided to take a chance and go somewhere really far! There was Sydney! And there I saw different life! It was absolutely not flashy! But there were so much freedom! So here we have already depression and feeling of freedom! Freedom in a sense that you can do whatever you want and people smile at you without judging, thinking you are a complete idiot! That's the third reason! People do judge in our country! They always have something bad hidden in their mind to throw it when you least expect it! I have no idea why our society is so angry and judgmental! I do watch russian tv show! And when I see situation girl comes an say she has been raped for instance! What do our audience do? Attack! People lost kindness! They are always irritated! Try to get into packed tram or train in a morning! I don't live there and every time I come back it's so obvious! I don't care that some people don't mean smiling but they do, as that was make us human being with heart full of feelings! Why do we only smile to our parents and close group of friends? But outside walk with absolutely freaking high held heads? Why do we need to raise voice and give attitude when we have to serve someone? No matter what you people do, you have to be proud of who you are and where you are coming from! Surviving among animals makes you another animal! I don't want to be one! I want to be kind, I want to smile as I believe that only this way life is getting better! Jesus died for us to have a better life! Why do we always forget about this? Is it so difficult to share some sympathy with other people? I know it's easy to live life when you are a total bitch! But I don't want to be on that road! Beside that, I am always happy to come back to my country! My best friends are Russians, my favourite cousin is russian, and no matter what happens inside my country I always there with my heart! May be one day I will come back and do something for my country, but now I am here, chasing my dreams!
Thank you for your post. I enjoyed reading your opinion and I absolutely agree with you. The way you describe people in Russia is the right way. They are like that and life is really hard, I call life in Russia a "survival". You have great thoughts and you have the same reasons to live abroad as I. My name is Tomass, I live in New York already 1 year. I am originally from Latvia, Riga. Technically Latvia is not Russia, but we have all the same. You know what I am talking about. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteIm absolutely agree with you, Russ, life in Russia is just a survival for most of d people, but d reason, why u can't live there is not only because of Russia...my subject opinion... Millions russian people would never move somewhere, even if they saw d world and they have chance to go, because they are all not like u, my dear. You are just different and u are higher then them, u looking on 360 dgr around your live, and u know exactly what u want.
ReplyDelete...and so many people in Europe perhaps had never thought about moving to Amerika, and from Amerika to Europe...whatever, every morning they wake up, drink their dayly coffe, go to the job, make a kids, change d cars, lose their probably greatest moments in life and die... and 99% ok with that.
I can't say its bad, just for us it will be never enough, because TAKIH KAK MI BOLSHE NE DELAUT
