A Minsk resident returns to her homeland after 23 years of living in the USA. Because she wants to give birth to children only here — so that they are Russian-speaking

Aliaksandra tells about her adventures on social networks. She says that she loves the USA very much — and admits that this country has given her a lot. But she claims that she doesn't like how America has been changing in recent years — and not for the better.

Dzmitry — Aliaksandra's husband — is Russian-speaking (from Ukrainian Vinnytsia). Reportedly, at some point, they just looked at each other and said: "Why not move to Minsk?" For now, it's not about leaving the USA forever. The family plans to try living in Belarus for a few years — and then they'll see.

And Aliaksandra names future children as the first reason for this decision.

— We are ready for children. We have been married for four years and are ready. But we are completely unprepared for what young parents in America will have to go through. We both work, there's no help nearby. No grandmothers, no grandfathers. Not even that very village which is necessary to raise a child.

The second reason is also related to children. For Aliaksandra and her husband, it's crucial that their children know Russian well. At the same time, the Belarusian woman adds:

— I want them to know our culture, to understand where they come from. I went through this myself. My father sent me to Belarus for the summer. He even sent me for a year so that I wouldn't lose my Russian language. I am grateful to him for that to this day. For our children, we would want the same and even more.

Aliaksandra admits that she has an unresolved "gestalt" from childhood. Since her father took her to the USA when she was quite young, she would like to live in Belarus "for real," not as a guest — for a few weeks or a month. The girl calls Minsk her favorite city.

During her visits to her homeland, Aliaksandra visits theaters and restaurants, photographs Lukashenka's quotes in a store with his merchandise, and walks in the forest.

Aliaksandra's husband, when he first came to Minsk with his beloved, immediately fell in love with his wife's homeland. Therefore, he didn't need to be persuaded to move.

Another reason — the girl believes that medicine in Belarus is better than in America, and therefore she will feel calmer giving birth here.

— I know, everyone will look at me now and say: "Everyone goes to America to give birth, but you're doing the opposite?!" Yes, I'm doing the opposite. I have always been proud of Belarusian medicine. And I only want to give birth in Belarus.

This January, the couple bought a plot of land in Belarus, and in June, they already started building their house.
