Hello, my name is Veronika, I am from Russia. I've been learning English for 5 years. My interests are fitness, traveling and reading. I enjoy learning about different cultures. I can tell you about Soviet time in my country if you are interested in history because I was born and lived in Soviet Union.
I am happily married and I have a daughter. I am looking for native English speakers who are willing to exchange language or just interested in Russian culture. And I am looking for new friends. My Russian is clear and my English accent is typical Russian:).

- Unusual food What can be more tasty than fresh wheat bread with butter and red caviar? Nothing can be tastier! I know very little Russians who don't like red caviar. But I know one American who said that it would be his last hour in this world when he would try salted fish larvae. I never thought about caviar like that. We all eat eggs which were chicken embryos. And I started thinking how many unusual things Russians eat. We don't eat fried fly larvae, fried tarantula or dried caterpillars or other terrible for us asian dishes (I still cannot believe that they eat dogs). But I found out that many people in the world don't eat chicken hearts or chicken stomach like we do. Russians like salted pork lard and jellied meat (pieces of meat in salted jelly with vegetables). A beef tongue, for example, is a delicacy in Russia. We drink a drink made from fermented horse milk and kissel (it is a viscous sour fruit drink with starch). Our northern nations eat deer meat (not only meat, everything that a deer has, heart, horns, liver, bone marrow etc. It is horrible, but we eat horse meat in some our republics! We raise smart animals to kill and eat them. Dishes from horse meat is considered delicious food... Anyway, I love red caviar! I could eat it everyday if it wasn't so expensive. And what unusual do you eat?
August 27, 201530 - Fluffy I have a new cat in my house. His name is Fluffy. A person who gave him this name had specific sense of humor, probably. Fluffy was mistreated by his previous owners and I begged them to give me this cat, so I could make his short life happier. I should mention that I had a cat before. It is a nice bald girl who is more similar to a chimera (if you know Greek mythology) than to a cat. And I hoped that they, like brothers in misfortune, will be friends, but I was wrong. In the beginning, my bald girl smelled the new bald creature and tried to carefully touch him with her paw; but then, when she realized that he will live here and eat her food, she decided that we betrayed her. She stopped "talking" to us, she didn't climb up and lay on our laps. It took us much time to make her be a good gentle cat like before. And, anyway, she still doesn't like Fluffy. We see that she only bears him, but if he approaches her and tries to lick her ear she turns around rapidly and Fluffy gets a new scratch on his long-suffering fat body. As you can see in the picture, Fluffy really is not a slim cat. He gains fat very quickly despite the fact that we try to feed him less. He literally lives near his food cups in the kitchen. He goes to other rooms only to sleep and crap. He becomes like a soft fat ball with thin legs. So, we started calling him Fatty instead of Fluffy.) And it seems he likes this name more!
August 24, 201521 - Do you love Turkish TV serials? Do you love Turkish TV serials like I do? Honestly, I like only two Turkish TV serials. One of them is based on a real story. It is about the Great Turkish Sultan who married a Russian concubine Roxolana. We can argue about what the truth is and what a lie is in that story, but the movie was very beautiful and exciting. They even built the authentic buildings and palaces of 15 century specially for this movie. The second TV serial is about love and life of a young Turkish woman in 19 century. As a woman I like the type of movies that we call “pink snot”. And although this movie had too much “pink snot”, in my opinion, I was so exciting about it that I watched this serial several nights in a row. I am aware of why I was so fascinated with this serial. The fact is that the main actor and my father in his youth are as like as two peas in a pod. That's why he seems to me the most handsome man in the world, although I realize he is not. And the main actress is so beautiful that I want to cry when I look at myself in a mirror. These actors are in the picture.)
November 28, 201433 - My husband is an elephant My husband is an elephant. He eats as much as an elephant; he sleeps as long as an elephant and he weighs like a little elephant. It's very difficult to live with an elephant. Our mattress on the bed has a big dent on his side. I had turned the mattress over but he made a new dent on a new place. Anyway, my biggest problem is cooking. I cook every day several times. His appetite is so huge that I should have a little farm and kill one sheep a day to satisfy his appetite. Also, he is picky enough. He will not eat leftovers. I have to cook right before he wants to eat or at least several hours before eating. After finishing breakfast he asks when we will have lunch. After lunch he asks when he can expect dinner. After dinner he wonders why I feed him like he is a rabbit. And, of course, we have late dinner also. Don't think he doesn't eat between the main meals. He eats nuts or drink tea with something. There is his yesterday's late dinner in the photo. When he saw this food in the big pan he said (at 11:30 pm): "It looks good, but, please, don't go to sleep right now. I would like to eat something like that at 1 am". I wanted to strangle him at once, but I am a Russian wife, so I smiled and said: "Of course, my dear elephant, I will cook". Anyway, sometimes I think it’s easier to kill him than feed like that.
