I can communicate easily in russian by yelling in my own language and pointing and mimicking, butchering russian, serbian and croatian words with new unknown accent.
I would fit in probably and either the village idiot or shaman, same thing to me honestly.
I dont know the laws for brewing alcohol over there because it would be my only income but i would stick to what i know, cattle and farming for profit.
I would love to live alone in a remote place, but now im too old to move and leave everything i made here.
Besides, this is my home and i plan to die here.
