Nice to meet you too, Kate. You know, russian people has very warm feelings toward Ireland. For example the St.Patrick's day is widely celebrated here. May be it's because our nations have the same ancestor. As you may know blue eyes came to Ireland from the Pontic steppes of southern Russia as far as genetic studies tells us. Even now it won't be too hard to find similar looking russian and irish people. I think that we must know more about each other than we do today. Well, it's a long story)

I didn't have any idea about that blue eye connection. I also didn't realise that Russians celebrated St. Patricks day, although it seems like nearly every other country celebrates it more than we do :) It feels a bit like halloween (also originally an Irish celebration by the way!), a holiday that's been Americanised and then culturally exported along with McDonalds and Hollywood films.
