Your Teachers


Due to the actions and policies of the United States against Russia, we are renouncing our USA citizenship and have acquired citizenship in Vanuatu, a neutral country. We will not support the USA and simply wish to live peacefully in our home in Russia, the best place on Earth.

Из-за действий и политики Соединенных Штатов против России мы отказываемся от нашего гражданства США и приобрели гражданство Вануату, нейтральной страны. Мы не будем поддерживать США и просто хотим мирно жить в нашем доме в России, лучшем месте на Земле.
