Those are incredible!!!

Tatiana, I've read many of your posts and you would fit very well into higher academia, especially research, within the US. You could likely earn a very decent income for you and your son here, doing something you enjoy. People with fine minds, from all over the world, are very welcome here.

You can still get a US travel Visa.

You could visit the US for up to 3 months on the Visa and try to find a position with a University here. You could then return to Russia and get an immigration Visa, so you could immigrate here legally. It's still very doable. There are over 3,00,000 Russians living in the US.

America wants and needs more people like you.

thanks Paul. My wife and boys are also equally impressed and wife is asking me questions she knows I don't have a clue about but wish I did regarding Shipping and The complications of current restrictions.

That lead into an educational lesson for the boys with current events And how those making the decisions are not who feels the effects of those decisions and all throughout human history its been the same. .

Awesome work.

Those antler carvings are incredible!!! They would easily go for several hundred if not thousands of US dollars at places like Fredericksburg, Wimberly, and New Braunfels, Texas.
Your talent is unbelievable. I like humbleness, but you are a BA, and it is OK to be very proud of your work and talent a little when you are that awesome and everyone knows it.

Of course you would need to stop drinking vodka altogether and just stick to American whiskey.

Well hang in there Tatiana and don't let the buggers get you down ! You have a wonderful gift as I and others have said , A friend of mine would make small teddy bears out of the neck bones from a turkey after he dried them out .

The antler carving are certainly nice and I look forward to seeing more of it !

Depending on location public transportation can be good option, There are lots of jobs in many fields I was just looking myself this morning. Through 18 child education is provided as well as transport to school if it not walking distance. Housing has become expensive and renting is popular.

You have a lot to offer and I believe you are exactly the type of immigration our country wants and needs .

Beautiful Work...Absolutely pure Talent

Tatiana, do you live in Akademgorodok?

Having a a high Hirsch Index, where your papers are frequently cited, makes US universities drool from wanting to have you. That's especially true when the articles being cited are in the very best journals in those fields, such as Q1s and Q2s.

I think you are greatly undervaluing your worth here. Even if your expertise is in a less desirable field, you clearly have the ability to learn another discipline.

Many US Research and Development companies would be joyous to have you too. I know this as a fact, as a son of a Research and Development Director of a major international company.

You are a very interesting person Tatiana. When I have read your posts on here I always wished I knew more about your life. Thank you for sharing some of it with us in these posts!

And please excuse my poor attempt at humor about the alcohol. Killing brain cells via alcohol is not a smart move. That is what my father always preached and he never touched the stuff either.

TTT...everyone should see this.

"I'm not an artist, I have no training and I'm crude and ignorant when it comes to art or culture." Lady there is an amazing amount of talent in your hands. Those are truly works of art. They are beautiful and skillfully made. YOU ARE AN ARTEST!!!!!.....jk

Tatianna, I would pay you hundreds or more for an antler carving. Those are phenomenal.

Could we pay you through Venmo?

I am NOT a scientist. I don't have a relevant education or a degree. These things matter. I know about it because a lot of my co-authors and acquaintances, including a bunch of former compatriots, are over there working in science. I think my cousin is a math professor somewhere in Virginia and used to teach algebra in Yale, but he's an even bigger dysfunctional retard than I, so he went back to live with his parents and scaled down on his career. Moreover your new administration is copycatting ours in their decision to reduce funding of fundamental research, putting a lot of long-term projects on hold, and mean cutting-edge STEM projects in places like the Smithsonian and not some tiny universities out in the sticks and trash such as sociology or gender studies.
I lost the ability to learn after covid, I'm pretty slow and dense now. Work in big corporate R&D is a nightmare for someone like me anyway. Urban office settings, chatty enthusiastic people, paperwork, constant need to travel and no visible results of your work, just computers. I can work with a microscope or a DNA sequencer, or write a paper describing a new species, but I prefer just to chase and kill things and take them apart. Plus, as PF suggested above, I'd have to commute on a bus to go trapping after work at night (to catch trash pandas?) and live in a rental until I break a leg and get kicked out for missing a payment and die in the streets, with no healthcare and no support network because it's impossible to make a decent living selling crummy clay toys, and I'm too old and scary for onlyfans I'm beginning to think those crazy Americans who come here and brag on instagram how good life here is may have a point after all

I think this thread has gone astray, I never even said I wanted to visit the US let alone move there? Being an uninvited guest sucks!

Nope. Nothing is possible anymore. I'm behind the iron curtain money-wise. Mr Biden's sanctions cut us off for good, so these carved antlers are going to the landfill


My life is small and useless. Nothing interesting ever happens. Don't ever go anywhere or see anyone. A small home in a khrushchevka, a pest-ridden vegetable garden, a couple of stores, boring forest with very few animals, and that's pretty much it. There are real normal Russians on here with authentic and breathtaking Slavic biographies and pastimes, who definitely deserve more attention

"Even if I went, somehow, I wouldn't have any support network over there, wouldn't be able to afford a home, education for the child, healthcare, or retirement." Tatiana, reread the above post....YOU HAVE A BIG SUPPORT Network right here in trapperman. Among us there is a very wide area of knowledge and skills, you fit right in!!!! Do not down grade yourself so much. Your english is amazing, most people it would take ten years of living here to be able to speak so well. The sky is the limit......jk

You highly underestimate your intelligence Tatiana!

x2

Shoot and I thought Swedes were too humble. LOL

It sounds like you are raising a son. I'll bet you're a great mom ...hardly a small and useless path. Folks on Trapperman are so enthusiastic about you coming over here because we are so impressed with you. Trust me, not an easy crowd to impress. Your English is so good I had always assumed you must have studied over here.

I hope some day the US and Russia can settle their differences and become trade partners again. So don't landfill any carvings just yet!
