Salom, boboyi Ismoil. I'm lucky to have visited you. And I pray for Persian-speaking world.

It turns out Lex Friedman — who podcasted Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy — was born originally in Chkalovsk, a northern town of Tajikistan 🇹🇯

Lex spend his formative years in Chkalovsk (now Buston) before moving to Kyiv 🇺🇦

[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

Dear President @ZelenskyyUa, I look forward to our 3 hour conversation.

I hope we can conduct it in the Russian language, a language we are both fluent in. Let me make the case for it and provide some context below.

For people who may not know, the Ukrainian language has increasingly become a symbol of the Ukrainian people's fight for freedom and independence. Unfortunately, it is a language I do not speak yet, but I am learning it. I do know how to speak fluent Russian, as does President Zelenskyy, and as does a large fraction of Ukrainian people.

Speaking in a language we're both fluent in will result in the most most deep, dynamic, and powerful conversation. We will of course, translate and dub it into Ukrainian and English.

This is the gift I'm asking for for both Christmas and Hanukkah 🤣

For anyone interested, here's a little relevant context about my personal and family history, given there's been an increasing amount of lies spread about me online 😘

1. Both my parents were born in Ukraine: Kyiv and Kharkiv.

2. I was born in Chkalovsk, Tajikistan. I lived in Tajikistan, then Kyiv, then Moscow, then United States. For almost 30 years, and to the day I die, I'm a proud American.

3. "Fedotov" is my mom's maiden name. I was always Fridman 🤣 I love my mom and dad (they are still together and are awesome human beings).

4. My full first name at birth is Alexei, but from the very beginning everyone always called me Lex (Leks) or Lyoha or Lyosha or Leshenka 🤣

5. I'm not a shill for Putin, for Zelenskyy, for Trump, for Voldemort, for Gandalf, etc. I'm a shill for no one. No amount of money, fame, power, access can buy my opinion or my integrity.

6. I speak fluent Russian. I speak fluent English. But if we're being honest I don't speak any language fluently.

I love you all ❤️

@azforeman I didn’t know Beowulf is that good. I accidentally came across with this in TOEFL passages during my exams, and first time the word Beowulf sounded funny 😆 Sort of Bio-wulf.

After reading your post, I want to re-read Beowulf and Shāhnāma.

@azforeman Elegant. “At my name … .” Magnificent. Exquisite.

[Akbar Ato, MBA @AkbarAto]

@azforeman Wait, does “ð” sound like th in “these”?

[Akbar Ato, MBA @AkbarAto]

@azforeman My English is not strong, so I didn’t get your point. But I am impressed with you Tajikī 🙂
My question is in Tajikistan, we say “sher” to indicate lion, whereas in Eron they say “shir”. It sounds like milk for us.
Would you support sher or shir for lion?

Tajikistan coach Petar Segrt goes straight to UAE players to console them, and picks up distraught Khalid Eisa before celebrating his side’s historic first ever #AsianCup knockout win.

What a man.
