They say you do not like being called Russian ...

No, it doesn’t make me angry or annoying, but, in my opinion, this is stupid. After all, they brought me to America, when I was six months old, I lived here all my life and I feel like an American. I am very grateful to this country. For all. He went to school, and so far classmates are my best friends. Going to college to do. One day, be sure to do it. In short, America gave me and my parents absolutely every opportunity. I think they did the right thing after leaving the Soviet Union. It was a courageous step, they had a hard time, especially my grandmothers. But in Russia, my father and mother had too many problems - starting with the fact that they were not allowed to go as professionals: they could not let go to important competitions for their career, such as the Olympic Games, for the most idiotic reasons, and ending with the need to sell things, stand queuing endless or getting products from the back door.

But you probably communicate with the Russians, your parents and relatives were not born in America ...

Of course, I communicate. And I myself speak Russian. With your family. And I read Russian classics in Russian. Since my childhood I tried to understand what Russia is, because this is a very difficult country. Unfortunately, my family had a hard time there. But I have few relatives. Clan Yelchin small.
