The "Ruskies"

                       I got to College and everything changed once more .   We had to read TOLSTOY but guess where -----  CHILDREN'S LITERATURE {with Professor Francella Butler} .   Then of course there was Modern Novels with the Chairman of the English Department, Dr. Moynihan who introduced us to DOSTOEVSKY and his The Brothers Karamazov which was unlike ANYTHING I had ever read .   These were BRILLIANT MEN who gave the World some of the most IMMACULATE Literature ever written .  Combine THAT with a twin-cylinder air-cooled diesel tractor from Belarus and my FEELINGS for Russia were ampLIFIED .   The Russian People were NOT >>>the Problem<<< .  Russian Fine Arts were among the GREATEST on the Planet .  Nope---I had NOTHING against the Russian Peoples .
