: Ukraine is the country that is going straightly to hell. I'm happy that my Dad and I are the bearers of the US immigrant visa, so we are leaving for the US in a few weeks. We are not counting on our "patriotic" diaspora, because we know they want every newcomer from Ukraine to suffer like they did 50 years ago
Welcome, Nazar.
There is nobody here you can count on, only on yourself. It's not diaspora, it's a system you have to accomodate yourself into. There is one god here - money. Nobody needs you but your money. Everything fades before money here - friendship, relations, love. Sounds cynical, but you will see. Prepare yourself. Leave your high expectations at home and come in.
Good luck.
