I think what is British about me is my feelings and awareness of others and their situations. English people are always known to be well mannered and cold but we are not cold - we don't interfere in your situation. If we are heartbroken we don't scream in your face with tears - we go home and cry on our own.
In days of doubt in days of dreary musings on my country's fate you alone are my comfort and support oh great powerful righteous and free Russian language!
