tribute to Russia This morning I've been listening to Gogol Bordello and his 'Wonderlust king', and some finished thought suddenly came to my mind. Bordello comes from Kiev, originally, so there is no doubt he has russian blod to a certain extent. Yes, I'm happy to be born in Russia. Just listen to these songs. As an example, that one by Gogol Bordello :) I am proud that Russians are considered to be bright, wild and inflammatory - no other nation I would like to be just because I feel that's the most natural to me. I find some kindred energy in balkan songs and dances. And I am especially glad to be able to communicate with other cultures, which makes me feel even more russian.
