npr ran a series of photos, taken by russians, immersed in their everyday lives.
in spite of the politics and the games, life goes on as always.
We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon. – Konrad Adenauer

Let us all take a good look at that house in the background. That’s what I would want to see if I visited Russia. The women and the cat might be pretty interesting, too. Thanks, Beth.

This was a great feature, did not know about the Russian life series. You are a source of information today! I am like Mark, want to go visit that cool house with the turret. It looks beautiful. The smiles on the women’s faces, the kitty and weathered fence, all were very intriguing and could tell a story, too. Hugs, Robin
