who now is ploughing through Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of "War and Peace." Obviously, her lifelong love of the language & culture has rubbed off on our daughter who, before Covid led her to take a gap year, was scheduled to live in the "Russia House" at her college. I studied Russian lit in college, too, but only in translation--- my craziness has bounds.

...but to me this is like someone studying German language and culture in 1945. Yes, the Russian culture is rich, but it is a totally perverted society that deserves no place among the humans.

Realize, that while Germany went through serious cleansing (arguably, insufficient), the soviet fascism only gained strength as result of WW2.

  they've set up a lot of 'back channels' since then to like minded 'leaders' and 'captains of industry' around the world as well ... that's undoubtedly a component to what's being observed in many 'shithole' countries these days

  I can understand your frustration, now more than ever. What's happening in Brazil nauseates me to no end. Fascism, like Covid, may be with the human race forever...

    Unfortunately, the great majority of the dumb population fully supports their dictator and is united in their boundless hatred towards all democratic states. It is truly one sick society. One of the most corrupt on Earth.
