About

Hey! My name is Irina. I am from Russia. On this channel, I share my everyday Russian life with you to show you my beautiful and authentic place. No politics. Only culture, traditions, and everyday stuff. Moreover, I am from the most mysterious and cold part of Russia- SIBERIA 🥶 🤩 If you would like to explore this part of the globe welcome aboard 😉 📅 A new video is published twice per month on Saturdays. ⚠️ 1. Russia is not a communist country since 90th 2. Siberia is not the same as Serbia 3. No, I am not looking for a husband 😁😁😁
