Thank you Igor for another interesting and informative video of this beautiful decoration. I was sorry to hear about your mother's situation in school. Russia was a huge exporter of grain during the late Imperial era and than had to endure many famines during the Soviet times. This is a lesson of the failures of communism/socialism in a nation.

Thanks for watching! Yes, the economics of socialism is very inhumane and it always comes with a tyranny in one form or another, and always results in suffering. I've seen it first-hand, and my experience is very mild compared with many others. Unfortunately, many people do not learn from history...
