"simpletons" like that one were the same to the Orthodox Christians as dervishes were to the Muslims.

the comunist simbols in the courtin are incredible. this is a postal of soviet world. and it´s incredible. every character is just as it sould be! perfection!

I love the part of the Simpleton in which he sings "Leites', leites', slezy..." around 3:30...I especially like the versions of Boris which end with it. Great singing actor here...also the wonderful set.

yea, I also like more the other order of the acts; that simpleton part is trully beautiful, but I'd like to know, what exactly is a simpleton?

[Operafiend22]

In this case it means "village idiot", but ironically so because he is really the only one who foresees the true future for Russia, namely: war, suffering, and poverty.
