I used to dream of visiting Russia.  I feel like I have let that dream go.  It is a little sad and a little okay.  I am still in awe of the strength, writing, and art that has come out of that country, but I am also horrified by the human rights violations, death, and lies.  All countries have their crimes, but Russia seems to have more than their fair share.  And yet, so many courageous people persevere.
