I speak Russian, but I was born in America. I learned Russian in my 20s and developed it over the years, but still make linguistic mistakes. I have an eclectic background and a well developed worldview, having traveled to all fifty states and (as of September 2024) 51 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 can not keep my very strong beliefs and firm convictions to myself. As a result, I am embracing the American horror story that is my life and sharing my somewhat angry 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.
