I don’t live in Russia anymore :) I got on BP when i moved to Singapore, and my Data comes from a Singaporean company instead! (also new phone lol)

Currently mixed. My government has gone to s**t. It’s been s**t for a long, long time, but my actual COUNTRY? nothing but love. My climate and my landscape and architecture is beautiful!

I’ve never been a big pursuer of popular music, i personally listen to mostly classical. But from my friends, they say that Hardbass and Phonk are making big strides right now.

My country is full of a******s to do that to them. Especially Put1n. He’s a horrible human being and if you speak to the majority of other Russians, they’d actually agree. He makes it seem like we all want Ukraine’s destruction. We do not.

As someone who drinks Vodka, i’d say yes. I don’t drink it extensively, but i know some people who do because it’s cheap and it’s numbing. So yes, because they find it an easy relief, i suppose

I would mostly be in danger of being forcibly put into military service and maybe because i’ve been out as a queer person online. I do want to return someday, maybe when things are better and put1n is gone, because it is my homeland. It’s kind of a complicated feeling but i do hope to return, but if things never improve then i do NOT wish to. I think it depends.

drastically. When the war started, i used to live in St. Petersburg, but then had to travel south to our eastern border with Belarus. We didn’t want to cross at a checkpoint so we abandoned the car and drove walked the rest of the way. I had to carry my little sister, and i broke my arm and got a concussion. My brother stayed behind to cross later but was forced into service before that could happen. We then took my babushka, mom, and sister to singapore to live with my aunt. I’m still having nightmares about that week, But now i live on my own and go to uni for music and sound design.

Since Rus is my first language, i can’t say much on LEARNING it, but i guess i do have advice for speaking: 1. Always try to speak clearly, especially if you know you have a strong accent. We have the most trouble understanding English, American, and most Middle-Eastern accents. 2. Genuinely, if you are talking to a native speaker, really just throw in a bunch of curse words and you’ll seem legit. 🤦🏼 3. Learn the alphabet, and practice sounding out every cyrillic words you see. It definitely helps for reading in the future. Eventually you’ll get to a point where you can just see the word and say it- it’s what helped me with English. 4. Travel, or use Omegle. Genuinely nothing helps better than speaking to people who know it.

I am very pro-choice :)

ooooooh! My favorite composers are Шостакович and Прокофьев. My favorite piece i’ve played is Шостакович First Cello Concerto, and my favorite one to listen to is Прокофьев Sinfonia-Concertante. I highly suggest both to listen to!!

I can’t say i’ve seen too much media that portrays us as outsiders, but in some american media i’ve seen, i can swear we’re not all fascist gun-toting, stalin-loving alcoholics that they make us out to be..:

It’s a soft sign! It doesn’t technically have a sound, but it’s called a мягкий знак. In simple terms, when you see it in a word, just soften the sound that came before it, like make it a bit more throaty and more air to it. But ы is an entirely different letter, and basically it just makes a soft y sound.

I do wear tracksuits, yes I do like Vodka, and i have never driven with a drink bear but i guess my older brother would count as a drunk bear

I LOVE chocolate, especially Ukrainian chocolates. From what i’ve seen, “popular” sweets would probably be Belochka, squirrel chocolate i think is still a thing, Mishka na sever, and Babaevsky chocolates are still a thing i think :) my personal favorite is Belochka probably

For a direct translation, you want Сука идиотка (suka idiotka), but i believe some better insults to be сука блять (fooking bithc), or иди нахуи (go f*ck yourself)

Nope! I don’t tan, only burn 😭

Yep! There’s surprisingly a lot of us, just most of us are hiding it/living elsewhere. I, personally, am the latter- moved to Singapore when the war started.

I have not read it, but is now at the very top of my list. I’ll let you know when i’ve finished, i’m very excited!

Thirteen years! And Violin for ten, viola for five, piano for twelve.

I love ducks! My aunt has some that she lets me pick up sometimes

I can’t say i have a definitive opinion, as i grew up in the “east” or technically in an asian/european east. I kind of see both sides of the argument and i understand why the east and west have their differences, but the escalation of it is starting to get out of hand. Also, i LOVE queen! Killer Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody are my favorites!

someone get this girl off the internet or she will murder us all with the dad jokes

My username is, to romanize it, Lyesnoi Korol’. My real name, to romanize it, is Mitya, which is a diminutive of Dmitri. I answer to both.

can confirm 👍
