A Russian children's book: Journey to Russia

Russian children raised abroad are facing the typical expat challenges: they are a Russian expat, a third culture kid. They grow up in between two or even more cultures. There is the culture of their domicile country, their home. But not only that. There is Russian culture as the primary culture of one or both parents. But in many cases in our global world, the second parent brings in another culture in — what a mix of cultures!

You want the best for your little one. And you want the kid to respect and connect with the Russian heritage as you are so close to it. Knowing the Russian customs, the Russian traditions or being part of a local Russian community are only some of the aspects. But of course, you want the child also to be part of the local community, connected to local customs and traditions from the third country, the home country.

In most cases, the kiddo will build a colourful mix of different cultural aspects – and Russian roots will play a role in there also. We need to accept that the little one will never feel like a Russian child born and raised in Russia. But we can significantly benefit from the cultural mix; our little third culture kid will bring to the table.
