Ode to Russia

The world would be such a poorer place without Russia. Think about Tarkovsky, Dostojevskij, Tolstoy, Bulgakov, Eisenstein, Nabokov and Turgenev which is only scratching the surface, or the many exciting years of impending world doom during the cold war, or the great puppet democracy of comrade Putin, or the mighty Gazprom that heats so many western European homes - yes the world would definitely be very dull without Russia.

I can with great proudness reveal that FF have also attracted the attention of mighty Russia, in the form of the fair Galina, whom after a visit back to the old mother country, graced the offices of Fortinbras' Follies with this supreme and supremely symbolic hand crafted Matryoshka doll. It consists of five dolls, from outer to inner: future president Medvedev, Tsar Putin, an almost sober Jeltsin, statesman Gorbatjov and finally a tiny cute Lenin.
We are very thankful for the gift, and will keep it right next to our geiger counter (which we from today will never switch of).

Спасибо сладкий Галина
