I agree with you. The point was that we don't have most of the stuff the US citizens are privy to. It's actually surprising how different our "worlds" can be while being so similar.
I would really like a post about the differences sometime, the ones that don't spring to mind. I've only known very "American" Russians. My closest Russian acquaintance wasn't a particularly interesting person but one time I mentioned Chechnya on facebook -- to someone else -- and she appeared in the comments and went off. It was eye-opening.
Despite how it's the whole point of #russiabynatives, I can't seem to find the differences on the spot easily. So far, lil has helped me a lot with topics by simply talking about the state of things. Maybe we should organize an action - a fact per a US citizen - so that I'd have something to base things on. "#russiabynatives needs you, part II", or something. Any chance I can take a look at the Chechnya Facebook incident? I'm not well-versed on the matter, but how Russia operates interestes me greatly, and all the points of view will help.
What a shame. It could have been quite an educating read. Feel free to suggest topics you'd like to have me talking on for #russiabynatives through PM. I'm always looking for interesting questions to answer about the country.I don't think you can, because facebook is basically impossible to search and this happened years ago.
