qui peut traduire ça en anglais

pour vire dans la dignité , c'est pouvoir être moi avec mes passions, mes différences,mes qualités; mais aussi ce que d'autre peuvent définir comme des défauts

just a somewhat naturalized translation... Living with dignity means living with one's passions, differences, and qualities, though others could call them faults.

Well, my father emigrated here from Moscow, and he's Jewish, so my ideas of Russia are obviously filtered by that. Generally I see it as a relatively poor country, stagnating, old population plagued by problems with alcoholism and drug use, relatively homogenous, sort of close minded, but some of the most beautiful and formdiable cultural artifacts. I mean one can't read (Tolsty/Dostoevski/Pushkin/Pasternak,) or listen to (Rachminoff/Tschiakovsky,) or god, just watch ballet, and continue to make stupid little Russian jokes. Also I love kvas but Americans hate it.
