1. I grew up in a monocultural society, all my classmates & uni mates spoke Russian as their mother tongue language. Still the majority of my true close friends are https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇷🇺" title="Flagge von Russland" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Russland">. Cartoons, songs, food, family relations where a man provides food & protects his family are in my DNA code.

2. My Dad had to spend 3-4 months a year away from us to earn money for the living during the perestroika times. Did I miss him? A LOT! I have never seen him being idle. Hence I adore hard working people and find it extremely difficult to sooth my mind & just enjoy this life.

3. Am I narrow minded? Perhaps... This tweet is an attempt to explain the Western society how vast is our world. How many cultures are here on our Planet Earth. And instead of bringing your values to somebody, try to learn from different people. All lives matter for me.

4. I& #39;m sick & tired of the double standards. I got used to say things straight not because I& #39;m an arrogant person but because it is in the culture of my ancestors. You either accept it or not. Call me a barbarian, I clearly believe the problems in the US or China are not my deal.
