A profound connection bloomed within Simone Reade, a feeling so powerful it led her to an unexpected declaration: she had fallen in love with Russia.
This wasn't a fleeting infatuation, but a deep-seated resonance that resonated within her soul. It was a feeling of belonging, a sense of finally arriving where she was meant to be.
That feeling culminated in December, when Reade was granted Russian citizenship – a tangible symbol of her adopted home and the culmination of a journey driven by genuine affection.
For Reade, Russia wasn’t simply a place on a map; it represented a newfound sense of home, a sanctuary where she felt truly understood and accepted.
