Huliganov's Russia #8

The Bronze Horseman is the main theme here - both footage of the famous statue and a recitation of the prologue to the famous poem by Pushkin inspired by the statue.

Lovers of the vintage Huli style will find something for themsleves here, as will lovers of Billy Joel...

To my friend who wanted to know how Philip Larkin sounded - we are priviledged here in our youtube community to have this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QugmT1SEIcg

Which contains the *only* extant recording of Larkin reading his own work.

Unfortunately, that's something we don't have for the other '-kin' poet, a kindred spirit from a very different era, namely Pushkin.

There's always Michelle Malkin, but she's more like poetry in motion, of course...

[Literature4peace]

you are not a nice person Analiteg. not nice. I hope you don't treat your friends and family like this.

[Analiteg]

Not only can you not speak English properly...your Russian sucks! Are you some poor, emigrated-in-the-end-1970s-Sov­iet-Jew, disregarded anywhere you go?

Anyway, your EN and RUS are ridiculous.

PS: You look like a wino who will suffer s stroke quite soon.

Tak govoryat. "Zaxodi na ogonyok". It means an open invitation - if the light's on, it means you can visit. It's a Russian saying.

Spasiba za proglasheniye. Kakoy 'ogonyok'?

Nie ponyal.

Another wonderful video, Prof. H. You are going to instill us with Russian culture one way or another. To that I say: bring it on. I amazed myself, by actually understanding some of the words you spoke. I must be learning something after all. Спасибо.
