Today, once again, I explained that yes, I'm Russian. No, I'm not a communist. No, I don't pray to a picture of Putin riding a bear. And no, I don't have any vodka on me. FML

Today, my now-former friend explained in extreme hyperbole that the only reason Russia invaded Ukraine is because Zelensky is a zionist agent meant to make Putin and Trump look bad. He stopped taking my calls after I asked him to explain this. FML

I know how you feel. I'm half Latvian and half Russian. I'm constantly getting asked if I shoot dogs and wear them as hats. And don't forget the vodka parties ?

As a polish woman living in Germany, the Top 3 things people ask/say to me, whenever they hear where I'm from, are: "damn. I hope my car is still at home?!" "Where's the vodka?" "Oh I know a polish word: Kurwa!"
