Hi! I think I love you. I'm Russian-born but have been living across the pond in Little Britain since I was knee-high. I think you're amazing standing up and talking bout being Russian like this and LOL I had a Russian uncle and I did not know what he did for a living!
Want to come over here and kick ass together about British Russophobia sometime? You'd be most welcome! The first thing they'll ask you is if you drink vodka. I bet you're asked that in America too. I've long been in two minds as to whether to laugh or cry about how Russian-heritage people are treated here and now you've convinced me I ought to laugh! :)
America seems more advanced than Britain in terms of accepting ethnic diversity within it's national identity. Unlike you, every time I've said to people" But I'm British because I do this and this" people have either given me dirty looks or just outright said " You can't be British, you're Russian". 0_o.

Thank you for making me laugh about it today.
