Thanks for your appreciation! There's a lot in the archive of a similar nature as you'll discover if you peruse it. And there's more to come. I also have several years worth of writings at my VK if you can access that site, https://vk.com/id580896205

If it were not for Karl, I would have no clue about day-by-day ongoings on some of Russia.

The Bolshoi Theatre international HD broadcasts by French Pathé have been banned because they are Russian, for Pete's sake. There might be a goose gander moment some years hence. One can only wish.

One wonders if Peter and the Wolf is still performed or the tale told to children at bedtime?

Thanks for this k.

As always it is refreshing and inspiring to witness a political system which directly addresses the needs of society as a whole, and allows debate. The union head was quite clear in his request, or demand, that employers must join that existing association, and also points out that cost of living is expected to outstrip the planned increase in minimum wage by 2030.

All within a collegial and honest discussion.

As you said, some speeches are more important than others.
