As we have discussed in this blog, Russian speakers live in several countries<\/a> around the world. Some of them might have moved abroad from Russia\u2014but some may eventually return to their country of origin. In today’s post, we’ll look at several people’s stories of leaving and coming back. These individuals are included because I thought their immigration and homecoming journeys were interesting\u2014this does not mean that I or anyone on the Transparent team endorse their views.<\/p>\n

After the breakup of the USSR, the artist moved to the US (\u0421\u0428\u0410<\/strong>), where she sang in clubs and possibly drove a limo.
