🇫🇷 Frenchman Living in Moscow: Russian Wife, Russian Car, Russian Clothes, Russian Curse Words

🇫🇷 Gregory Lesterlin possesses a French passport but his soul is 100% Russian 🇷🇺 He left France when he was 24 years old, after university, he spent 3 years in Australia, and then came to Russia for holidays with a 1-month tourist visa and... he’s still here! 🌟 He became a real estate investor and interior designer, met a beautiful Russian lady Olga, started a family ❤️ bought a dacha (a typical Russian countryside house) 🏡 acquired a Russian car UAZ Hunter, named it ’Tintin,’ and joined a team of off-road UAZ weekend enthusiasts 🚙 “We face fewer challenges by being here rather than Europe, in terms of prices,“ he says. Greg did not only assert this but also takes you on a journey into the reality of life in present-day Russia 🇷🇺 He went on to introduce us to Russian designers, even praising Russian bureaucracy 😱 which Greg finds to be very effective, and he explained why. 💥Following the commencement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on February 23, French relatives advised Greg and Olga to leave Russia and move to France, but they opted to remain in Russia. Olga’s friends offered help by sending food 🍞 messaging, ’We know there’s no food in Russia, shelves are empty, you’re starving.’ Greg and Olga just laughed at that responded saying; ’Nothing has changed for us, and sanctions have had no impact at all.’ Check out this new, vibrant, and uplifting story filled with joy.
