EDNote-- I don't think we'll carry this thread very far... but the inclusion marks an encouraging counterpoint to recent efforts (some successful) to ban or censor Nabokov's work in Russia, and productions based upon it; not to mention violence perpetrated against the Nabokov Museum in St. Petersburg last year.  --SB

Well, I probably would have been moved, too. Still, rather glad I missed it.

p.s. It's like "so now you like us" - rather like I heard the Polish ambassador the other day saying "we lost six million Poles in the war, three million of our Jews." Who wanted to get rid of them after all? Now that we're gone they love us. Spasibo, but nyet, spasibo.
