This house is really awesome. It's a place where people can get together with like-minded people, share ideas, and possibly carry out some action. Also, they offer their home to hitchhikers passing through Voronezh. We met an Estonian guy who was staying their for a while as he hitchhikes through Russia.
Only one person there could really speak English, but, still, we all just chilled, talking about a variety of things, especially the attitudes of the Russian and American government and people on animal cruelty, food production, alternative social groups, homosexuality, etc.
They also prepared tea for us! It was extremely cute, there were cookies and tea set up on a make shift table.
After tea we moved inside where it's a little cooler.
This is Liza, she was the one who basically did all the translating. She's extremely cool and vegetarian. I don't know how she does it because it's really hard to be vegetarian in Russia.
Interesting discoveries!
-Most people believe that they have never seen or met a homosexual.
-People love their circuses here.
-Anarchists are often labeled or seen as terrorists.
-It is difficult to help people out. People often don't trust others to deliver the charity items to the appropriate place and people need to jump through so many hoops for permits (if they give it to you) to even give things away.
