Blogging about moving to Russia in April 2026 via the Shared Values Visa. And about learning the language.

Uma2rman free concert alert. The gentleman who owns the bakery told me - this Thursday, they’re playing the Тверской Дом Вкуса food mall. He explained this is a rare opportunity to see them on a small stage, as they usually sell out stadiums? 7pm at Тверской Бульвар, 27, стр 6

Tobacco products are available everywhere, 24/7. Openly too, not hidden behind grey cabinet doors. 3rd pic shows 3 stores side by side. Nicotine pouches at 12mg lol. 

I don’t smoke, but like it because the point is choice - opposite of a nanny state.

The trend of ‘celebrities visiting Russia’ seems to have stopped, huh. 

I liked watching your reaction to their visits, in that, there wasn’t one. 
You guys just do NOT care 😂🫡

Looked into Russian “mat” > матерные слова - swear word. 

➡️ Elaborate swearing. A sophisticated sub-culture, full of nuance and historical references. Never to be used in publicly. 
Laughed while researching, but I won’t bother to learn it. Need to learn like, past tense verb conjugations. 

Besides, it’s more effective to win a debate using no swearing. Спокойней всегда.

I will consider myself ‘good at Russian’ when I can argue. 

This is my benchmark.

Why not visit Russia? No one is stopping you. Believe, and you can be here and now. Taking photo pics, and restoring your view of how things are supposed to function.

Ничего большое к доклад сегодня, ребята. 

Just got home. After school, I did errands, including a печатайте магазин. Then over to my local grocery store, to show the ladies what I had printed, “так когда я расчёсываться шерсь, я учуьс новый слова.”

They’ve also become who I ask questions about our neighbourhood. Today’s was, “почему забор на улица?” “Ремонт улица.” Now, I just want to zone out, and not be productive. Maybe I’ll read my book. I need to find a new craft; for a long time I made magnets, need something like this. Хорошого вечера к вам!

Heard that on Saturday nights, the parking lot of Danilovsky Market turns into a car meetup 🚗 Memorized the line you guys taught me, “крутая тачка” and went to see, but found just normal ones. So instead, I wandered around that neighbourhood, seems like a good area to live? Or do I think that, because I’m new? Bought some lip gloss, had a laugh with a couple strangers; it’s still so warm out 13° 🌡️ A pleasant, but uneventful, evening. Хорошого вечера, ребята)
