Don’t you think that she was so ” not happy” with her life at Krasnoyarsk that she moved out from her country ?
Paul is a good guy for a Russian but he’s not a saint and he isn’t very loving. He often chose to pet Eva instead of kissing or hugging Leora. To his credit, he let her do what she wanted and she probably loves him for that.
Leora reacted so badly last year to Poutine’s ending of protests of young that I think she was not happy in her country.
RLC certainly tried to negotiate with her a new arrangement, she may have also push them to that.
Prague is the opportunity of a lifetime for her to escape a life at Krasnoyarsk and discover literally a new world. Russia is not that much fun you know. I’ve been there for work, you don’t travel much, you don’t have many opportunities to do stuff like we do in Europe with a medium wage.
Last and certainly not last, she kept her independence, as a strong woman it’s very important and I admire her for that. She knows what and why she’s doing what she does, she’s good at it and she likes it.
She maybe be struggling with some stuff now, but who doesn’t ? And you wanted reality, don’t you ? That’s it !
Now the elephant in the room, you probably won’t guess : You !
You want her to be a good girl, go to her man and behave properly. She doesn’t, so what ?
