Mikaela ,
Thank you very much.I am happy to hear that you are reading my posts.In the first place , I would like to get a debate going , about what and how (some) men think and say , about their findings , trips to EE/Russia and their meetings or communications with Slavic women.
I am by no means , an expert about life in the former U.S.S.R.And I don't know all and everything , but my experiences and the chances that I had , to live and be part of the people's daily life , in U.S.S.R-Poland gave me a great and invaluable insight , in what did affect their life.
I want to point out , that when visiting purely as a tourist , you could/would not notice , what life really ment in those days.
Also the fact that my then Polish girlfriend , could act as a translator and pointing me to the real issues , that were causing problems for the people , was really helpful.
In fact if it had not been for her and her family/relatives , I surely would not have known , of some of the big issues , that was affecting these people's life in these days.
It is because of this experience and what I have learned , that I can revieuw between life then and today.
Without any reference , it's almost impossible , to come to a more or less correct conclusion.
I can't say for sure , but I am thinking of making an article of what I have learned about life in Socialist U.S.S.R
Of course , the young people , of today , have been through the changes in their country , after the break down of the "Iron Curtain".
Much has changed , but in some CIS countries , it is changing in a slower pace.
Naturally I wish and I want , that in EE/Russia the life of all the people will change for the better.
And the daily worries will go to a minimum.
That said , I also have witnessed and I know , that you people are determined , are Always on the positive and look at life from the bright side.
I'm sure that there will come a day , when we wouldn't have to worry about global/political issues.
And thank you for asking , but I am fine.I have just watched the Formel 1 qualifying.
I hope that you will have a nice day too and despite if you have to work (late) you will enjoy your day.
Dobre denh - Oh yes , my Russian is improving ...
