Teach, Learn, Share

I can say surely that I'm a 'expert' of Russia. I have lived in different parts of the country: Far East South of Siberia and, currently, Central region. If you are interested in anything related to Russian Federation (history, culture, society, politics, cuisine, and, finaly, language) - there is 99 percent chance I am able to answer your questions and share my knowledge and experience.
