Russia's energy (4.00 / 3)
I just spent a few weeks in Russia. The place feels more energetic (pun intended) than ever.

Witness Peter Nalitch, the guy is irresistible :

As opposed to this incredibly deep and moving film, which I saw a few days ago : "Ostrov", by Pavel Loungin :

On the other hand, all you are allowed to see in the news is Putin, Medvedev, Putin and Medvedev, Medvedev and Putin. They are omnipresent, talk everywhere about everything. Quite heavyhanded, I couldn't stand it after a few days...

That's why I love Russia so much, it's impossible to define a place with so much contrast, so rich and full of life.
