Cathedrawl of the Epiphany, Irkutsk (sorry, the video doesn’t work)
I’ll never forget the morning my wife rushed into the bedroom with news she’d just heard on the radio: “The Soviet Union is gone! It doesn’t exist anymore!”
The USSR. “Your grandchildren will live under communism!” Cold War. Khrushchev pounding his shoe.
And then one day it went away.
God is not mocked. Not by the Soviet Union or anybody else.
