Hi RRM, Oscar, Amber and everyone else curious about my country!
Amber, I take your compliment

but zazuna is my nickname. My real name is Masha (Russian version of Mariya). And zazuna is a nickname that my boyfriend gave me--it is Georgian and means one animal, I won't tell which animal for now (nothing like a cat or puppy). Maybe Oscar will also dig it up somewhere

Oscar, I really appreciate the time that you spent on finding the map of my country, it is big and... well spacy, we have just 15 mln people for this territory.

So, everybody is welcome to visit and stay if you want. haha.
Mainly, my country is doing well after the Soviet Union's break up because of exporting oil. Ethnically, it is a considerable mix, about 50% Kazakhs, 35% Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, Belorussians), and other minorities, especially many Koreans and Germans who were deported by Stalin 60 years ago.
Well, I can talk a lot about my country. I will better post some photos so that you can all form your own impressions. In return, I would love to see the photos of places where all the rest live.
With love,
Masha
