This is the view looking south this morning. You can see Huijia Road if you look hard enough.
I’m reading this book about the Russian Revolution. It discusses how so many people died and why they died, but it doesn’t tell us who survived and why. And what portion of the population died in the Stalinist terror? You read about all the killings and wonder how Russians didn’t go extinct.
I’m also reading an anthology of HST journalism. He’s a good writer who should have studied the Russian revolution. Perhaps he did, but he makes no reference to it.
