I know how you feel. I am also an American living in Russia. But Russia is a beautiful country and fun to explore. Best of luck!

[@Meeounn]

Girl, kudos to you lasting this long. It's not easy living in another country. Different language AND being a black woman.. I can't even imagine! And now with this conflict over there, sanctions and such... You are a strong woman and a good wife staying by his side. Prayers to you and your family ♡♡

03:20 lol im the same way, it's hard for me to make friends. I live in Brazil and before I lived in Mexico for 2 years and only made one friend there like real friend. In Brazil so far didn't make any real friends. Like I need to feel the same energy, the same vibes. I don't drink or smoke and don't like parties, so I can't connect most of the people. Which is fine cuz I actually love being alone lol it's better to be alone that with the wrong company.

А если поделится своими мыслями послушать другие мысли этот бывает обединяет общий путь. Присхождение слово товарищ- товарисчество, как то заинтересовался его происхождением этого слова. Оно пришло с эпохи дальних лошадных путешествий когда люди разных сословий либо исключително торгововой экспедицией обеденялись в корованы общей целью пути через дикие угодья степи и густые леса изобилующие волками.

Nothing wrong with missing your family. A year is a long time, you should visit them ones a half a year. 😘

Yes! I lived in Chile for four years. When I missed the US, I would go to Starbucks (they are very fancy in Chile, much nicer than here in USA) or go to McDonald's.

[@fv9859]

We often talk of missing people. Or missing places. But when you are an expat, what you fundamentally miss is your culture. No matter what people say, living in a different culture has a very heavy emotional toll.

If you need any Black Hair Products, send me a message of what you want and I can ship it from Piter. There is a Black Owned Store, that I go and get my products.

[@cheyennenuelle6711]

That is so thoughtful of you ☺️

[@orangecat999]

Hey there! I went through something similar when I got married and moved abroad to Europe during the first 5 years of my marriage The hit to our independence thing is something we both feel, even today. Simple example: for medical visits we try to accompany each other when the visit is in the non-native culture of the patient (us). For example, my husband's English is excellent; however, for whatever reason in certain scenarios he has some struggles with understanding and remembering. Perhaps this is because of the difficulty with medical terms or the different multi-cultural accents one can encounter day-to-day in my state. Another silly example is that I usually order the takeout at the drive thru because folks working at our fav spot tend to have non-native English accents and they can never understand his non-native English accent, lol and then everybody starts yelling, lol! When we're in his country, I let him do a lot of the talking since a certain level of formality and that sort of "social greasing of the wheels" are very important in his culture vs the USA. Don't get me wrong. I can get around on my own. It's fine. But it's just easier in some situations to yield to the cultural expert. So basically, we've become somewhat co-dependent when we are in each other's other culture, lol. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Maybe enrolling in a class will introduce to knew people with whom you share an interest. Since you have survived Siberia’s freezing temperatures with love and a smile and all of your fingers and toes😁😁 you and Fedor deserve a warm sunny vacation in LA 👍👍👍 return home before your Bali adventure. You are loved!

Victoria you are not complaining girl! You are speaking your truth on how you feel and that is OK! It’s hard being away from your family, I couldn’t imagine living full time away. Love visiting Russia and staying two months during the summer but I always come back home lol. Good luck with everything! ❤ Glad to see you guys are doing well.

I truly understand. When I heard the meltdown, that's what it sounded like. Sadness. I knew you needed to be home. Be brave, it probably won't be long. Sending love to you from Boston, from a grandma. (This next emogee is a hug...🤗🤗)

[@delmar5321]

I know how you feel, dear from personal experience. You don’t miss much ( when you refer to Instagram). It’s life. We all go our different directions. It’s hard not to see your family for so long. If you can, go visit. Or meet them somewhere in France or DR,Mexico. It is a “cost” of adventure. You’ll get through it. Best of luck, sweetie!

Just found this channel, and I'm so happy to see another side of Fedor, whose Russian videos I really enjoy (my wife is from Saratov and I've visited several times). I assume you're in Novosibirsk, and I would say try to enjoy it as much as possible, (if you're still there), as you'll too soon be home, and when will you get a chance to see that again! You two make a great couple .. great to see you!!

[@MzEshke]

Aw, Victoria, it happens to all of us and it comes and goes in waves. Are there any other English speaking foreigners or groups in your area? Cultural immersion is great and I know people want to avoid being in the “foreigner bubble,” but sometimes you need others who just get it. Also, I’m not sure how much you care about age but making friends with Aunties and Babushkas who will feed you is easier in all countries 😂

I was SO homesick but it took like a year maybe a little more. I was having so much fun there. His family was wonderful so that helped. Now Mexico is like my second home.

You can still travel in and out of the country pretty easily. You just have to fly through Turkey or Dubai.

She cannot do that it's too dangerous right now Americans are being locked up on fake charges as a political tool plus there's no flights going there at all and all Russia planes are grounded the ones that did fly over countries airspace they're banned from got confiscated because those planes are only leased to Russia they don't belong to Russia so there's literally no way they can fly without going into other nations airspace illegally.

Why are you telling her to go back to a country where she could be hurt for going to a grocery store or even the hospital because the doctors give poor care to Black people?
