I write, and speak, both. I write my Russian here, for you Dashenka! :-)<br/><br/>My father was Russian, born in Moscow. My mother, she's from Ukraine. I growed up, in Kyiv, and Kharkiv, for my father's work. His work, it taked him to Germany, and then United States, so that's why I live here, now.<br/><br/>Some from Ukraine, it's very sensative. I didn't grow up that way, though. ::)
