from siberia, with love...

last night the russian and i watched сибирский цирюлъник (The Barber of Siberia). it was so good! it actually made me miss watching interesting foreign movies when i was a film major...

...andrey and jane...

even if you aren't into subtitles you should enjoy it, since about half of the movie is in english. i highly recommend it! a very cute, funny and heartbreaking love story. хорошо!

read some russian history. it's good for you!

so my mom has been in the hospital off and on for the least week, and i have been out of town for the last three days. hence, no post this week.

instead of reading Ms. Hotpants, try some russian history, with these two new books i'm in the middle of:

Through Dark Days and White Nights, Naomi Collins

A Brief History of Russia, Michael Kort

happy reading! (as happy as you can be reading russian history, that is...)
