My younger daughter’s passport name is Mariia.

My “catch” in Russian bookstores. I specifically avoided translated editions, since they’re easier to buy leisurely on Amazon, including in the original language (PDF/Epub), while our own authors are often impossible to purchase in America. I devoured “The Brain Is Material” and “Who Would Have Thought” by Asya Kazantseva within a few days, highly recommend. I will take my time with the rest once I’m back in the States.
