South African comedian Mamello Mokoena, better known by his stage name Mum-z, came to Russia to be with his girlfriend. A year later, he still finds himself in a pandemic-forced affair with the country.
Mum-z came to Moscow for the first time last February, planning to spend several months with his romantic partner. When I got here, I did not know what to expect, he told The Moscow Times.
As his plane was landing, he recalled all the stereotypes he knew about Russia the military, the gangsters, Russian roulette and thought he might be greeted by a Soviet-era military anthem at the airport.
