From Sweden

[Valenki]

I am from Sweden where we have managed to resist NATO membership (for the time being) but are suffering the latest madness from Brussels. I have been yearning for a place to express my unqualified, semi-Political notions without the standard barrage of insults from my western ”cousins”. That doesn't mean that I am anti-western or pro-eastern but it seems to me that the vast majority of today's strife is being perpetrated by certain western entities and since that is where most discussions and debates are going …... I am stuck with it. Also, I have come to admire (appreciate, at least) the Slavic mentality, thanks in part perhaps to my wonderful wife (of 15 years) who is born in the eastern half of ČS. 

I have travelled the circumference of the globe 'overland' on my own steam and I have visited literally every European nation – both east and west. At the moment I am in love with Bulgaria. I am ageing now but when (and if) I can get my shoes on I still have one unattained goal to reach …. that being ”The Motherland Calls”  in Volgograd.  Some day, maybe.

Sorry, my email address is at the end of my public relations video. This is not my personal email.

Oh and welcome to the forum Valenki.

I don't stalk people. He's the one who started going off on "USAians" and all this crap about Americans.  Not a single post about his Slavic wife or culture.

This IS a dating forum about Russian/Ukrainian women.  I'd rather talk about that but it seems like you guys don't. Oh well.

To be fair, the owner made it quite clear that the forum would expand into more diverse and politicised topics, given the apparent lack of men heading east. Take a look at the last 50 threads and Valenki has plenty to discuss, outside of chasing Kova’s.

You stalked me to get here

No, I didn't "go off on USAians". I joined the thread where the chat about "USAians" was already in progress.

Not a single post about his Slavic wife or culture.

What?! Did you not read my OP in this very thread? Why not own up and be a man.

A dating forum? Then why are there so many men on this forum marked "married"?

If stalking you is clicking on your profile and seeing your first post then so be it. LOL.    Don't get worked up over it brah.  Almost all forums have this feature.

All you mentioned about your wife is that she's from CS and that you are married 15 years.  "Own up and be a man"...not sure what that's supposed to mean.  You mean like denigrating how a country's people talk like "farts" (in your own words) and gun violence blah blah...

You say you served in the Vietnam war for the USA as a Swedish citizen.  And that you lived in the USA for 20 years.

This could all be true but why would you fight for a country that you aren't even a citizen of.    And what were you doing in the USA for all those years if you didn't like the place? 

Read the name of the forum, Russian Ukraine Adventures.  It implies men going to those countries and having an adventure.  I've done that in spades.  No idea how you found this forum but maybe you clicked on a dating link somewhere?

You are wasting my time with silly comments. You can stop now.

Hmm Volgograd formerly known as Stalingrad...  it's all making sense now.

Volgograd is called Stalingrad nine times a year on holidays:

Day of Military Glory - February 2

Defender of the Fatherland Day - February 23

The day the city is awarded the title of hero - May 8

Victory Day - May 9

Day of Remembrance and Sorrow - June 22

Memorial Day for the victims of the bombing of Stalingrad - August 23

World War II End Day - September 2

The day the defeat of fascist troops near Stalingrad began - November 19

Heroes of Russia Day - December 9th.

These days the name of Stalingrad really comes to life in our hearts and memory, but on the modern map it remains Volgograd.

I didn't know all of that. Thank you for telling me!  But I imagine it must be difficult to find a hotel during those days?

Maybe I will do that but I do not like Booking-dot-Com. The hotel I booked in Warsawa didn't exist any more and the one I booked in Rostock was closed for the season. I arrived at both of them in the middle of the night and I was not happy to realize that I had to find some other place to sleep! I will never use Booking-dot-Com again.
