I am the quintessential office supply/organizational junkie. I spend the kind of time in STAPLES that ordinary women spend in Bloomingdales, which I am sure shows both in my impeccable filing system, as well as my less-than-pristine personal appearance.

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?"

Nikolai Dolgopolov, Deputy editor-in-chief at Rossiyskaya Gazeta
During the 1945 Yalta Conference a young lieutenant from Soviet intelligence, Yuri Sokolov, spoke on a number of occasions to Britain’s Prime Minister. His memories of Winston Churchill were of the pleasantest sort.

In the vast territory of the Russian north, no place carries more historical weight than the Solovetsky Transfiguration Monastery, located on Great Solovetsky Island, part of an archipelago in the southwestern part of the White Sea.
