I have met some Russians in my community (MA) and they have all mentioned that they are scared of the censorship their relatives are now facing in russia. I remember hearing one of their nephews got a visit from the local police department for their social media activity.
This was at a local repair cafe, and I was sharpening tools. Got to see some cool old Soviet shears, scissors and knives.
Yea, censorship getting worse day by day. Not sure about the cop situation, but I think it is probable, since I got cops called on me once for calling one annoying woman a few hearty names.
I don’t have any money sadly, and it’s very hard to find a job for some reason (personally, my friends don’t seem to have this problem). There was only one person that hired me in 6 years, and only paid 20k rubles a month for back breaking labor. I would pretty much like to move, but that’s probably gonna stay a pipe dream.
That fucking sucks. The Russian/Slavic community here (new england, USA) is very hospitable, and many Ukrainians and Russians moved here after the “special military operation”. The local bazaar was even handing out free care packages to displaced Ukrainians.
How are things within Russia?
Like for the past 23 years. In my life literally nothing is changing. (For the exception of this fucking censorship)

Any plans to move, or stuck with your cursed citizenship?
