DH has been offered a job in Moscow. I don't want to say who it is with, just it is within ths financial/commodities sector.
I don't know what to do. The company is Russian. I am very uncertain about whether we should accept.
DH wants the job, it is very very good.
DH is mixed race but does not look it. He appears to be white, especially as he keeps his hair short. He put ethnic origin White European on his job application. DCs are 5 and 2. DC2 really does look mixed race. As she grows up people are starting to notice and ask questions and comment (always nice comments but i am white and everyone assumes DH is white so some friends are surprised at DC2's afro hair, darker skin and facial features).
So two things concern me
1: is it a good time to move to Russia, what with what is going on politically?
2: i am concerned about encountering racism, what with DC2 appearing more mixed race than white as she grows older. Am i worrying unnecessarily?
DH has only been to Moscow once for an interview. We have never been. DC1 is starting school in less than two weeks so no time for us to visit before we make a decision.
