    Bye, Russia!
    I love Mother Russia. Nothing can change that. But I have decided that it’s time for some change for the better… I’m not getting enough support in Russia. That’s why I’m leaving to America, where I can start a new life.

    Challenges... Alerady!
    After a long search, I have landed a job as a coal miner. It is a very tiring thing to do! After countless hours of tiring work, I think I have found enough money to move west… the place where they are giving out FREE LAND!!

    The homestead act has affected me in ways I wish it did not. Oh well…

    Moving west has been quite difficult so far. I am almost out of breath, thinking of just heading back to Russia. But I must remember: This is all for the land!

    Geez this is getting super tiring..! I am currently resting against a hard rock, catching my breath and hydrating myself with the little water I have. I hope I reach the West soon…
  • Luxury...

    I cannot believe it… I finally got some land!!! This is way better than staying in Russia, being mistreated and not having enough money to do anything!! I have started a new living here and I am really hoping to get rich!!
