Very informative John - thanks for your work. You deserve to be read more widely. Do you consider immigrating to Russia? My wife (who I met and married in Kherson, Ukraine 23 years ago) and I are. Plan to close my remodeling business in the US in the Spring and move there or perhaps to an Eastern European country. We want to be with my wife's mother in her last years. We may end up back in Kherson. I assume and hope it will be Russian soon. My wife is fine with that. She was just on the phone with a friend in Kherson who is convinced it will stay part of Ukraine and can't endure the thought of it becoming part of Russia. Years of bombing and propaganda will do that to a person. Understandable. Hoping for a Trump win, if only so this stupid war ends sooner than later.

Thank you for the comment and support. My apologies that I missed this and failed to respond in a timely manner. I lived 20 years in Russia and would be happy to move back as soon as that is possible. What about you and your plans? Please contact me privately if you wish: jdvaroli@gmail.com
