Thread: Any Russians lurking about ??

I've always liked the sound of Russian. I'm planning on taking some classes at college next year.

Thanks, Nightblade!
Oh btw. my brother just got an old samovar from somewhere, made in Imperial Russia. A nice, big piece of brass that I might restore someday. We really drink tea with a slice of lemon from cups, glases and all kinds of vessels that can store fluid. Of course the Podstakannik with a glas is the classic way. A lot of people have those at home borrowed from our railroad company, it's a tradition to do that. haha

nycexit2, нас везде много / we are everywhere.lol. Really wanna take a trip to NYC someday.

It's all good.I already know about all that stuff anyway.My friend William is from Russia and he's told me all about when he was little and the podstakannik in the train stations. I've been searching for an affordable one for him as he has been wanting one,but they are soooooo expensive. I am blown away by the prices ranging from 50 american dollars and up,it's rediculous even for a teacup holder. If you get that Samovar,you'll have to post a picture eh . I've seen some real pretty ones online. Poka !

Hey Superman..just thought I would let ya know....We are going to have a wedding party this June at the condo where I work.It's one of Williams friends so the place is going to be full of Russians.We were thinking about making a small table top makeshift memorial for The Russian Unknown soldier so that they could have their picture taken in front of it as they have no actual memorial to go to for that. I'm looking forward to all the good Russian food also Yummmmm!!!

How was the wedding party? It's a really nice idea you had right there! Did you guys do it? Fired up our samovar a few weeks ago. It's an old one, made in Tula. Great times. Here's yours truly boiling the water:


This thing needs a good polish. And a new handle.

Wow Superman,good to hear from you...so many things since last we chatted.Unfortunately the wedding got moved so I was not able to attend or get the model memorial made.It would have been nice though.I had big Ideas for such a small model indeed.As for the samovar...very nice.I have heard of Tula and about it being a center for samovar manufacturing. Wish I could have been there,i'll bet the tea was good ! Wherever this picture was taken looks very pleasant.It reminds me a bit like Michigan where I grew up.So now since we last talked I know three people in actual Russia,You..Sasha my friend in Astrakahn and Ulyanka in Chelyabinsk. I am happy now. Nice culture ,nice people..Excellent food and arts ! Someday come heck or high water I'm getting over there to visit. And I'm still seeking out more local Russians here in Denver so that I can get semi immersed in the language in order to learn it and also learn about the Russian Immigrant culture here. Drink a cup of tea for me and tell all of St. Petersburg I said Zdravstvuĭte !

dude i had a russian girl. Had being the word she got it in her head she was leaving me for a 28 yr old who was married with 3 kids and she dident think it thru (guess her being 19 she dident think it thru) but after she left me she went to her boss the guy she liked and he pretty much told her she was nuts and that he loved his wife and kids and wouldent leave them for her. well needless to say i got a laugh out of it.

if you ever come up with a russian that between 17 -20 (im 16) let me know and ill gladly take her off ur hands nightblade.

For russian fans, make sure you are ready for this

Now yer just playing with my emotions ! I want to be there !
