Russia as Churchill said is “is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” Truly a fascinating place. It’s fascinated me from an early age. I had neighbors that sometimes went and I studied it extensively in school and I have cousins that were adopted from there.
Yes, interested me enough to learn Russian in College (MA degree) and even go try to work and live there in 1992-93.
