I speak Russian, but I was born in America. I learned Russian in my 20s and developed it over the years. I have an eclectic background and a well developed world view, having traveled to all fifty states and (as of January 2024) 48 countries. I have been a business owner, attorney, Real Estate Broker, HR Director, General Counsel, Russian Interpreter and a US Army interrogator. I have lost everything in my life due to corrupt individuals in positions of power, mostly because I cannot keep my very strong beliefs and firm convictions to myself. As a result, I am embracing the horror story that is my life and sharing my views on a wide variety of topics. I used to try to ’tone it down,’ but the fact is that I am right far more often than I am wrong - and I have no problem admitting when I am wrong. I live under the concept that my opinion is no more valuable than yours, and I will always honor yours as much as I do my own. I do not believe in ’canceling’ people whose world view does not match my own, but have certainly been the recipient of cancelation. I will speak frankly and candidly, mostly in Russian, but do plan to engage in Russia-related issues, sometimes in English. A desire of mine is to develop the Russian / American friendship that I expected to occur after the collapse of the Soviet Union. I used to think it a colossal mistake of our political overseers that brought about the destruction of an entire Slavic generation of Ukrainians and Russians, because neither of those cultures or peoples are our enemies - but now I realize that this has all been intentional. Whether you share my view or not, you cannot dispute that the US and the UK have pushed this nonsensical anti-Russia agenda for twenty years to the detriment of us all, and particularly to the detriment of the Slavic populations of Russia and Ukraine. I started my Question Everything radio show in 2008 - and most of my questions remain unanswered! So, the quest for answers continues!
