Q: What motivated your family to leave Russia when you were six years old?
A: My father told me that it was due to political corruption, rampant bribery within the government, and an economy that was up for grabs by oligarchs, leaving many people struggling to make ends meet and even starving.
Q: What was your father's response when you questioned him about why you left Russia?
A: He consistently told me the same points: it was the political corruption, the bribery, and the economic struggles that made life difficult for the majority of people in Russia.
