I'm famous!
Ok, not really. But a friend who does this sort of thing (social media, I mean) had me translate that little snippet of Twitter text into Russian. Mostly, after an utterly demoralizing week of job searching (argh, not qualified for anything!), I'm just pleased that I have a skill that is occasionally useful. For saving the planet!
And isn't it ridiculous that they're even thinking of bulldozing such a treasure? Hopefully saner heads will prevail, but since it's the Russian government, I'm not holding my breath. Still, I'll admit, I wrote a letter to the Kremlin about it. (Today I also wrote a letter to Kavkazskii Uzel, my favorite Caucasus news source, asking if they need volunteer Russian-English translators. Yes, like a Soviet pensioner, I have recognized but not accepted my helpless position in society, and have thus begun spearheading futile letter-writing campaigns.)
