Souls Glimpsed and Souls Bared

Much has been said and written about the Russian Soul. I will tell you a secret: to truly glimpse the poetic richness of the Russian Soul, you must be willing to not sleep, or at least to rally for the hours of 12-3am, when much happens. For those who know me well, you know this is not a natural feat ;), but one I gladly perform when in the company of such as these. The songs, oh the songs! The stories! The toasts! The laugher! And the tears.
