About those who were not in America, but at the same time hates her

Everything that I’m going to tell you now has nothing to do with a good life, neither in America, nor in France, nor in Somalia - the country is not at all important. I emphasize this at once, in order to avoid moralizing and accusations of something patriotic and foreign.

27 years from 28 I lived in Russia. Having matured, I traveled to so many countries, talked to a large number of people from different social strata - and realized that I want to live in the States. The only concrete step towards the dream was the program Work & Travel At the age of 20, over the next 7 winters I tried to come up with a plan for a legal establishment in America. In 2016, life got tired of my incomprehensible attempts to come up with something and did everything for me - now I live safely in Los Angeles. But that's not what this is about. Backstory was necessary.

Living in Russia, I came across different people, including those who not only did not live, but did not even leave their own, relatively speaking, villages, but who have a very clear, and unshakable, opinion about all countries, especially USA. A state that supports terrorism, sticks its nose into the affairs of the whole world, in particular impregnable Russia, eliminates athletes from participating in the Olympics, day and night comes up with a plan for the extermination of a strong post-Soviet state. And why? Because it fears and wants power over the world, and a strong Russia with nuclear weapons from the 70s is the biggest barrier. This is what every minute says TV to the citizens of the most advanced state of the Earth. TV believes that citizens have no problems other than confrontation with the United States. Citizens, in turn, believe that all other 7 billions of people - some kind of stupid and incomprehensible foreigners, unlike all-knowing Russians, would have such a TV with the truth - and then they would have healed!

I myself am from the small town of Tver. Having graduated from the university and fled on the same day, first to St. Petersburg, and then to Moscow, I believed that in a big city people are more educated and capable of reasoning. I was partially right. Over the years, more and more “like-minded people” have appeared - people who regularly dream of leaving somewhere, but do not really understand where. Just from Russia. When I moved to another continent, many “like-minded people” suddenly broke loose and decided to zealously condemn me - they say, what right do you have to say anything if you left and left home. “Sit in your America and don’t poke your nose into what’s happening in OUR country,” people wrote to me, a couple of weeks ago they spammed Facebook with articles about all the ways of migration from the most terrible state that is going nowhere. I will modestly remain silent about those who consider it their duty to talk about the States every day without ever having been there, without knowing a single American in their life, without reading a single reasonable text by an intelligent person.

“A friend of mine lived in New York, ate chemicals, didn’t go to museums, got fat, became stupid and immediately ran away, realizing that there was no place better than her native country,” - this is a typical story of everyone. Everyone has acquaintances or acquaintances of acquaintances, and more often acquaintances of acquaintances of acquaintances, who once visited, oh, even lived in this unfortunate America, and everything was bad. Are you telling us something else here?

Some time ago I flew to Russia to visit my parents and celebrate the New Year with them. And right at the airport I heard: “Oh, why did I come, if you don’t like it, get out,” and this despite the fact that I didn’t have time to say a word. People just heard that I flew in from London, and that I flew to London, Heaven forgive me, from America. “They hate our best president, they exclude our athletes and disabled people from the Olympics,” those who remember disabled people only at the moment of exclusion from the Olympics tell me.

“What did you do for your country, did you plow like we did, with your hands, digging potatoes?” people ask me, heading to the village to dig those same potatoes. In response to the modest saying that I respect village labor, but everyone has their own destiny and talents, dear citizens again return to praising their beloved president, who increased his pension by 40 rubles this year. Now it’s 6640 rubles ($115) – where could it be better?
