Re: How many of you have seen "Little Vera"?

Hi Eric,

I wish you were right about the film not being relevant today... unfortunately the opposite is true.

The booming St. Petersburg (I go there twice a year) is not how the great majority of people live.

For most of them the life today is even harder and bleaker than one shown in that film. Since then the society had gone through tremendous polarization, something it didn't have back then, and today the miserable are more miserable.

On the positive side, even in that bleak atmosphere not everyone lives like that - and that guy Victor in the film is one such example. He left his ghetto behind, so to speak. So there is that silver lining.

Small, but still.

We surely didn't live like that either. But the life, as presented in the film, is extremely real for millions of hard working Russians.
