Dutchman in Russia

It's always interesting to hear what foreigners think about our country. It provides a kind of outside perspective. It's quite curious, as many of our customs and habits seem strange, amusing, and sometimes incomprehensible to foreigners. Mahil Sneyp is a... Dutchman who moved to Russia, married a Russian girl, had children, and acquired a Russian mother-in-law. He has something to compare daily life in Russia and the Netherlands and to tell about. Mahil was brought to Russia by love. «We met at Eurovision in Düsseldorf in 2011. Alya was there as a journalist, and I was working for a Dutch company,” he recounts. “Later she came to the Netherlands to study, and that’s how we started dating.” And in 2015, after the wedding, they decided to move to Russia.
