I think it shows in their recent political experiments, attempting to change what has been their lives for all of their past.

Such windows as her photos are so important to them and to us.Stafford Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048757515249725540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-34965586093339434972012-07-29T12:13:57.696-04:002012-07-29T12:13:57.696-04:00Tess:

I am currently reading a book entitled The Russian Century, full of vivid and haunting photographs of the ever-embattled Russian people. They seem to have been born to trouble. But yet there is something beautiful and austere in the Russian soul. --LanceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-74524907944216340712012-07-27T17:37:38.606-04:002012-07-27T17:37:38.606-04:00Yes, her journals are very forthright...I wish The...Yes, her journals are very forthright...I wish The Last Station would have shown more of her personal art and talent...Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-76846222184107950892012-07-27T12:38:28.182-04:002012-07-27T12:38:28.182-04:00or maybe I should say from seeing the movie I felt...or maybe I should say from seeing the movie I felt her husband gave her short shrift at the end of his life.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-23745170454844261402012-07-27T12:37:53.507-04:002012-07-27T12:37:53.507-04:00I think it would be interesting to read about her ...I think it would be interesting to read about her life from her POV.
