My heart is in a civil war. One half is Russia, stuck in its Soviet-Union past. The rival is full of absence, ambiguous tension and uncertainty of attraction. Russia wants to modernize and leave the Soviet Union behind, but like the argument over Crimea, the Soviet influence is still there, looming like a cloud over every decision that I make.
