Russian and US “exploration paintings” are somehow similar. I bet I saw something of a sort in St. Louis some years ago. There were French fur traders instead of tzars musketeers (streltsy) but the message was the same #urals #yekaterinburg

Nothing informs you better about the problems of unchecked capitalism than the rows of new factories eating up the prehistorical Thracian countryside. Their sheer number impresses unprepared eye and stimulates many questions.

We got late for the mysterious Thracian express and will try again tomorrow. South-western end of Marmaray is cool and comfortable though. #complaining #scholarlylife #byzantium

The best thing at parties is to sit in the corner and enjoy food and talk. At least for some while

For the first time in many years won NYT weekly News quiz with 11/11. I read too much news this week, should read less (and in less languages)

Innokentiy Smoktunovsky playing Justinian in a late Soviet trash history movie “Rus Iznachalnaya” (Primary Russia). A rare example of “Soviet Byzantium” which became possible in the apogee of “Soviet nationalism”. Byzantium in the film is bad and Justinian is a tyrant #cinema #byzantium #soviet

25 November is a Day against gender-based violence. Istiklal was under strict control. The bonus thing was that businesses were closed, including the notorious Bi Daha which regularly upsets our quarter with its repetitive music . There was no sound from 22, which was a great pleasure.
