Time for another quick roundup of posts that have caught my eye recently:

• Online Russian classics, translated into English
• Russians used to write on birch bark
• Kvas. Best. Drink. Ever. (Non alcoholic category).
• The next Russian President will have a fine head of hair.
• The Soviet Union, summed up in 100 photos.  My favourite is the Giant Lenin.  Via Mrs Newman.
