Turkish Invasion has 45 handy hints on how to spot whether you’ve been in Russia for too long. My personal favourite:
- You ride the marshrutka shouting ‘ostanovite na ostanovke’ EXACTLY where you want to stop, and not worrying about handing your money to the driver via 6 people
- You mutter ‘Дурак’ at the idiot who forgot the gherkins when they bought vodka
- ‘voda’ and ‘bezgazirovannaya’ are inextricably linked in your head
Visit Turkish Russia for these, and 42 more helpful hints on how to spot whether you’ve been assimilated.
