Robert De Shade: The lives of my Russian friends are in jeopardy

Too good too late

Jan 28 2023 • 40 mins

For this episode, I talked with Robert De Shade. He was born and raised in Moscow. He used to work for the American centre of the US Embassy in Russia. And he is an open gay. And after Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year, he realised it was time to relocate to a better place. So he moved to Los Angeles and founded his own LLC, Widest DE, devoted to digital media production and IT consulting.

We talked about relations between Russia and the United States, homesickness and what it is like to be gay when your homeland does not accept you.

I hope this episode will bring new insights into Russia's young generation. Enjoy!
