My parents are from the former Soviet Union. AMA

Questions can be about myself (how I was raised, languages, etc.) or about my family (their experiences, stuff about the Soviet Union, stuff about immigration, etc.). For more about me, I’m 22f and live on the East Coast (of the US).

    Hello,
    Some background questions, then some others:

    1. Have your parents too moved to the US?
    2. If they have, what kind of a difference do they find in the society and values between the two countries.
    3. Which region of the Soviet Union; what country is it now?
    4. What language do you think in?
    5. Do people look at you differently when they discover your family lineage?
    6. Do you deal with some stereotypes about Soviets?
    7. Do you have any sense of nostalgia towards the old-nation?
    8. What do you look forward to in life?

    Good wishes 🙂
