There are a few images that are not exactly accurate. What's that line about not understanding Russia with the mind alone? Oh, here it is!
Russia cannot be understood with the mind alone...
Russia cannot be understood with the mind alone,
No ordinary yardstick can span her greatness:
She stands alone, unique �
In Russia, one can only believe.

I'm thinking of going there to teach one day as I speak Russian. I'm a bit leary of the cold winters though.... The video did give me a longing to return there though... Maybe St. Petersburg.... |

The cold winters are exaggerated. Have no fear. Come to Russia! |

A love of cold weather comes with learning proper Russian. It'll come. |

Very true. Nothing like a good bracing freeze to get the blood going! |
