Thread: Only The Beginning

I lived in Russia 20 years ago and had my heart broken a couple times by Russian men
But today I am excited about learning Russian again because I still have good friends in Russia, and I want them to meet my husband, want him to see Russia since it was such a big part of my life. Chekhov might be a good place to start with literature - he is fairly easy to read.

Yes, well we won't discuss the merits or demerits of Russian men. Or Russian women for that matter. My ex-wife returned to Moscow, and she still holds a place in my heart, but we have both moved on. I have a new love now (American), and when I tell her that I would like to visit Russia again some day, she replies that she does not want to go there. I do wish Russians would try a little harder to attract Westerners to their country for tourism. They have a lot to offer, but many older, more affluent Westerners, especially Americans, who have money to spend on trips like this, still view Russia as an unpleasant place. Too bad.
