Erlinger of Leopolis dedicates a vignette on today's Moscow to Vladimir Vysotsky, a legendary bard who died in 1980: “What would Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotsky think of all this, the Asiatic Medieval Post-totalitarian Capitalist Order? He would roll a paparos, blow blue smoke through on the balcony…Would he hate them more than the Soviet Communists?”
