learn french the fun way…
…with riotous right-wingers!

Taking a short documentary of the October 2003 Manif de Droite or Protest of... Read more...

democratic cafe culture
Once upon a time, I had a Russian boyfriend who used “democratic” as an adjective to describe cafes and bars. In his opinion, it seemed that “civil” was its antonym, and as the native English speaker, who was I to beg to differ? It’s taken a number of years now, but Vanya " I’m... Read more...

the eyes have it
I haven’t been back to the UK since the Russian Old New Year concert in Trafalgar Square. I’ve thought about it, but for no longer than fleetingly (as we’ve run out of baked beans…) I’d been considering a bit of a social experiment on that trip though, because I’d been reading... Read more...
