Priviet! My name is Salma and I am a journalist, a mom, and an aspiring Russia connoisseur. Our home is Vancouver, Canada, but we’ve been living in Moscow for the last three years after my husband accepted a transfer here. Welcome to my blog!
After all this time in Russia, here’s what I’ve learned: From food to fur, the Moscow I’ve discovered is less Lenin and more London… on speed. Outside Moscow, well, that’s a very different can of caviar.
So if you’ve ever wondered how the Cold War turned out on this side of the world, if you’re curious to know what it’s like to live in a Hollywood spy movie, or if you just want to know if the Gulag still exists, you’ll find the answers here.
