LOL! Extra points for the headline and last sentence.
I’m disappointed. I thought you were going to say it was a death mask.
The minister of culture is also making a futile attempt to relocate the grave of Sergei Rachmaninoff. This is no surprise as he is a tool of Putler.
Glad to see that you, at least, are spelling Rachmaninoff’s name correctly. Unlike certain other people on Slippedisc.com who have no respect for the Great composer’s wishes.
Fitting in so many ways …
Ok, all the other headlines are forgiven. Brilliant.
What did they do about the ‘five o’clock shadow’?
It seems our Gergiev wants to get a-head.
Plaster is easier to destroy once his reign will be over.
