'Впрочем, чаще говорили о начавшейся войне, по деревням шел призыв в армию, и как-то, выйдя прогуляться в село, Серов и сам стал свидетелем раздирающей душу сцены прощания матери с уходящим на войну сыном.'

Recorded in the early hours yesterday morning in a snowy Black Forest in Germany. Wishing all our friends and supporters around the world a very happy Christmas!

In Cambridge: a man on the street getting his face painted with the England flag mocking Chinese people who were speaking as they walked by him. Leaving the house just gets more stressful.
