We\u00a0feel that in a way this blog provides just such a luxury, at least to us, the writers. Not only do we get to write about what we love and are interested in, but also get to \u201cmeet\u201d \u00ab<\/strong>\u0431\u043b\u0438<\/span>\u0437\u043a\u0438\u0435 <\/strong>\u043f\u043e <\/strong>\u0434\u0443<\/span>\u0445\u0443 <\/strong>\u043b\u044e<\/span>\u0434\u0438\u00bb<\/strong> [kindred spirits] and hear their reactions to our musings whether via blog comments, Facebook posts or occasional e-mails.<\/p>\n

But lately we\u2019ve been yearning to take our virtual relations with you one step further. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Truth is we love what you have to say and always look forward to reading your helpful, witty, thought-provoking and encouraging messages. We love them so much that we would like to ask you, yes you, whether you would like to be a guest author on the Russian blog.<\/p>\n

Maybe you have a topic you\u2019d like to write about or a personal story that\u2019s somehow related to Russia and Russian language that you\u2019d like to tell. Maybe you have an idea about something we haven\u2019t discussed yet or a different angle on one of our posts.<\/p>\n

Your post doesn\u2019t have to be long, detailed or full of grammar rules. In fact, it doesn\u2019t even have to include any Russian words (and in any case, we can help you with those). If you aren\u2019t much for writing, but have great pictures from your travels in Russia (or in Russian communities around the world), you can post those as a photo essay too.<\/p>\n

So if this is something you\u2019re interested in, leave a comment on this post (don\u2019t forget your correct e-mail address) and we\u2019ll get in touch with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
