Hello, welcome, good for you that you are learning Russian. it is a shame that the world's borders are closed right now. I am sure you'll enjoy your first visit to Russia when the time comes.

Zuid Afrika/South Africa is an amazing country.

There is a fair bit of knowledge between the posters and in the past threads regarding Russia present. Feel free to ask questions and if so inclined join in the discussions. 

Curious why do you wish to visit Russia?
