Russia Lite
Day of the Retail/Trade Workers
I can’t say that retail sector is one that just blows you away with its efficiency here in Russia. For example, at the moment, we are experiencing an unprecedented heat wave, swinging into its third week with no signs of abating. And, do you think you can purchase a fan or an air-conditioning unit anywhere in Moscow? Ha ha ha ha. No way. HRH said last night that the thing to do it is to start buying space heaters to stay ahead of the curve.

Why living off the land can be a bit of an acquired taste
In 1615, Dutch envoy Anthonis Goeteeris, on finding himself in Moscow, wrote: “The Russians have a very strange cuisine.” Although Russian food is generally thought to be monotonous, it is actually rich in original recipes.

When spies become intelligence officers
How do you say "spy" in Russian? What about "espionage?" And how do you distinguish "spying" from "gathering intelligence?"

On July 7, Russians celebrated St. John’s eve, also known as Russian Midsummer, a time of mischief, magic, and misdemeanors and a not unsurprising spike in the birthrate nine months later in March.

It’s dacha season again, so of course, I am hiding under my bed. I’ve read a lot of lyrical commentary on dachas, so I thought, as a public service message it was time to blow that all right out of the water.
