Description
The Russians
Bold, proud, enduring survivors.
Survivors of Napoleon, Hitler, Lenin and Stalin
But more than survivors.
Triumph distilled with the crucible of suffering
The fire that burns them does not destroy them
The cold that stops an army does not quench the fire
The fire that burns forges itself in Russia's art, music and dance.
Even the Communists could not instill mediocrity.
The Russian Village stands independent for the whole world to see.
Battered yet standing like the sage.
Who has left more after leaving this earth?
