Finally, a nice Russian post about my blog, outside of the LJ world! No conspiracy theories about me, no accusations I'm a spy or former Soviet English teacher, no suspicion I'm being paid by the State Dept. or that my blog is a "project," with many contributing authors. Btw, did you know I also have an immigrant Russian boyfriend, who helps me write posts here? :)) Or, at least some people think so. This guy understands the purpose of my endeavor. Yes, sometimes I'm naive. I've never claimed to be a master historian or omniscient. Just a normal, American woman trying to expand her knowledge of people and cultures around the world. Thanks to this author for understanding this, and for making more intelligent, civil Russians aware of my blog.
I don't know much about this community d3.ru. Is it popular amongst Russian users? I ask because someone contacted me to do a "live chat" there with users. Similar to what Obama did on Reddit, where he answered questions from Internet users at a specified timeframe. Should I do it? This seems to be a mostly political forum, and to argue with Russians and Ukrainians about geopolitical relations is usually counterproductive. I don't see so many trolls on d3.ru and the ban hammer is in full effect, which makes conversations there more manageable and civil. The overall tone and audience seems very different than LJ. Original story about my blog here.
