"I grew up speaking #Russian to my family — at home, on the streets in #Brooklyn and #Manhattan, and at the Italian grocery store in #Tottenville, #StatenIsland.

When I spoke Russian, some people threw judgmental looks and choice words my way, assuming my allegiance to Russia.

Hype for the Future 52O: Russia 🇷🇺 is a European Country

Background Even though the vast majority of the Russian land area is located on the Asian side of the continental landmass, the vast majority of the population of Russia is located on the European side.

#Germany has for centuries been a conglomerate of many tribes. The neighbour tribe of Alemannen gave the #French name Allemagne.

#Polish name #Niemcy comes from *němьcь - speechless - since German is not mutually intelligible with #Slavic languages.

#Faroese word for #Germany is #Týskland. It derives from Old High German work #diutisc (of or pertaining to the people or tribe). In #OldNorse it became þýðskr/þjóðskr and later formed #Tyskland in Scandinavian languages.

Yana is slowly becoming well-known in Moscow's fashion world. She's actually a #fetish model (I must know her from somewhere ;) ) and, above all, a photographer and stylist for Goregirls and Russian-Slavic gothic fashion. I love it. #russian #slavic #gore #fashion #model #styling

What's that I'm munching on? That's just finely sliced pork ears, marinated in chili and lightly smoked. Slavic pork scratchings if you will. Surprisingly delicious.
