A really delightful and provocative interview with Russian writer Victor Erofeyev who talks about his privileged childhood in Stalinist Russia, the West as "agnostic bog," how Putin is more liberal than 80% of the country, why the poor remain poor, why Moscow is the lesbian capital of Europe and how the dead control our lives.
The odd thing about this is that it all makes very Mexican sense. Since boyhood, when the Russian Folkloric Ballet inspired the founding of the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, i have noticed a strange metaphysical connection between the two countries.
