\"Screen<\/a>Welcome to my very Russian\u00a0yet very American\u00a0life, that to me, seems completely normal. Recently I discovered that the blurred line between my cultures isn\u2019t considered \u201cnormal\u201d to most people. Thanks to my boyfriend\u2019s shocked face in the middle of the dance floor at my cousins super Russian wedding a few weekends ago, I knew I had to make a blog about my \u201cRussian-ness\u201d that not many people know about.<\/p>\n

This blog is going to be my outlet where I can be honest, expressive, and passionate about my Russian culture and how it has shaped the person I am today. It\u2019s intended to make my readers laugh, learn, and relate to my stories and posts about my family and unique experiences.\u00a0My goal is that together, we can relate to one another no matter our cultures, and appreciate each other and where we come from. I hope to not only inform people about myself and my heritage, but also engage my readers to share their own experiences and how they relate to mine. Together we will learn that our cultures\u00a0aren’t as “different” or “strange” as we think.<\/p>\n
