Quoted By:
>She is a communist enthusiast who likes Russia and the Soviet Union, and has described Russia as “a country where you can encounter unique and mysterious charms in everything—literature, history, weapons, painting, and music.” Her “fateful encounter” with Russia occurred when she was in her first year of high school, when she happened to hear the national anthem of the Soviet Union and was deeply moved by it. She also felt a sense of destiny from the fact that the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the same year she was born, and since then she has devoted herself to the study of Russia. Because of this, sentences written in Cyrillic letters often appear on her blog and Twitter, and during radio shows and events she and her fans frequently use Russian expressions such as “Здpaвcтвyйтe (Zdravstvuyte, hello),” “Дo cвидaния (Do svidaniya, goodbye),” “Cпacибo (Spasibo, thank you),” “Хopoшo (Khorosho, wonderful),” and “Уpa (Ura, hooray).”
>Her favorite politician is Vyacheslav Molotov. She is also a military enthusiast, particularly fond of fast tanks such as the BT-5 and other tanks in the BT series. At university, she studied Russian conversation and the politics of the late Imperial Russian period, belonged to a Russian-language theater club, and in her seminar researched the early formative period of the Red Army of the Soviet Union. Before becoming deeply interested in Russia, she had previously been interested in the Third Reich.
>She is uncomfortable with being called “cute,” and instead suggests using the word “hairy.” She explains that the reason is that the two words come from completely opposite worlds, so while mentally replacing one with the other, her mind has time to calm down.
