Entry: What's in a Name? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/whats_in_a_name#13886 Post contents: re "Ah, for those good old days of fat Russian hookers with unshaved armpits." What? I thought Boris Berezovsky was still very much alive. @ K Konkola, "What exactly is is that makes the Russians different from wealthy Westerners?" The Novorusskies are an especially loathsome subspecies, but the average Russian doesn't worship wealth. If I were alone and in crisis in St Petersburg (or even more so anywhere in Siberia; Siberians are wonderful), I'd trust an average Russian stranger to help me more than I'd trust most wealthy Americans, and I'd trust a wealthy English stranger only to send me politely to my doom.
