may i ask you a dumb question? since you lived in the soviet union and now a different kind of russia, do you like having all of the global everything, or do you resent shit like mcdonalds coming into your world and changing things? i just look at that kid's jacket and see all the labels (maybe it's like a racer's sponsor jacket clone or something) and it just strikes me. or do you love it? or does it matter? i'm just curious. i have never been to russia, but i've been to some previously-soviet-sphere places and seen the change, nad it's bizarre to me.
