Today’s Russian papers reflect 2 very different Russias. One Russia: the military superpower threatening Ukraine & the West with Oreshnik missiles. The other Russia – where butter, increasingly expensive, is now sold in some shops in “anti-theft protective boxes.” #ReadingRussia

Kudos to @sandorfpassage.bsky.social for publishing this novel by a great Bulgarian writer. Exquisitely translated by Angela Rodel. #Mutafchieva’s alleged collaboration with the communist secret service do not make her a less accomplished novelist.
