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.
