A broken boiler at home this weekend meant not much chance for blogging, but an unexpected opportunity to relive the joyous Russian experience of cold showers.
So, in lieu of a more substantive post, here are a few links to stories I’ve read over the weekend:
- A Fistful of Euros discuss whether the Caucasus states should be classified as European or Asian. Their question has prompted some quality debate, so be sure to check out the comments.
- Nathan Hamm at Registan.net has also weighed into the debate.
- The Russian language is undergoing a revivial in one of the EU’s most anti-Russian states - Poland, of all places.
- When will the Kiev property bubble burst?
- Sean presents a quick roundup of the Russian media’s reaction to Saddam Hussein’s execution.
- Copydude takes us through the recipe for a Novgorod delicacy - spicy fried carrot oblongs. Yum.
