“This veteran Russia observer, previously the publisher of The Russia Journal, sees a very different Russia than the one routinely demonized in the Western media.”
An absolutely outstanding article:

The article was very good. The Sacred War is a beautiful piece of music and the visual accompaniment made it feel even more expansive. Wonderful complement to the article. Well done!

Thank you, Suzanne! 🙂 The Sacred War is one of my absolute favorites…don’t know why, although I think it has something to do with the Russian blood Dad passed down to his children! And indeed, that particular video, well, it makes one want to board a plane to Volgograd and pay one’s respects…especially if one understands what the musical piece and statue stand for. 🙂 Thank you, as always, for taking the time to drop by. Cheers!
