Beautiful and heartbreaking, and true
I’m a Russian who lived her whole life in Moscow and left at the beginning of the war. I have a distinct feeling that this podcast is about me. Everything said here is true, and the selection of guests is spot on. For non-Russians this will be informative I believe.
For me though, a year into the war and emigration, this is an obituary for my home. Аркадий, спасибо!
