I was born after 1970 and far, far away from Chukotka which is only 4 km away from America. So your comment has missed the target, as usually.
P.S. The people of Chukotka are not ethic Russians and they have no relation to our society. They live their own life with their own culture on the North. They eat wales, they use dogs to move their sledges, they don't need the U.S. visa when they move from Russia to the United States and back, etc. Once again: those have nothing in common with my society.
