Taste of Russia, by Darra Goldstein

The top-rated, top-selling cookbook of Russian cuisine. Full of literary citations, descriptions of how food and culture mesh, history, and of course really fine recipes. Slate magazine: "cerebral... prose rooted in hands-on kitchen advice." "This is simply the best and most complete book on Russian cooking in English." -- Suzanne Massie

Filya, Hrusha, Stepahska and Karkusha Will Put You To Sleep

by Marina Galperina
Since Soviet times, these humble hand puppets have lead Russian children into primordial explorations of morals, codes of behavior, and neuroses. Filya the dog, Hrusha the piglet, Stepashka the baby rabbit, and Karkusha the crow (not pictured, fondly remembered) came to many of us on a nightly television program Good Night, Little Ones! They hopped around, talked and did stuff - then there was a cartoon! Though the actual adventures of our talking-animal friends have faded from memory, we know that each one was special, with its own traits, dreams, and personality disorders.

It Was Only a Small Yacht Anyway

by Julia Ioffe
Roman Abramovich has a problem, a gambling problem. His girlfriend, 26 year-old socialite Dasha Zhukova, gave him hell for it so he simply moved his habit online, to the "Everest Room." And then, last week, he lost a yacht in a poker game. Reportedly.

Paul McCartney, come to Yekaterinburg already!

by Tatyana Bokova-Foley
Now Yekaterinburg, an industrial city in the Ural mountains, has another landmark besides the church which marks the place where the last Russian tsar Nickolas the Second and his family were murdered, burned, cut into pieces and dropped in a mine. Now the city has its own Beatles monument. Why? No particular reason. They just love the Beatles.
