Siberia]


Last night, Oliver was doing something he ought not. K tells him that if he did it again he'd be sent to Siberia.

O: Siberia is in Russia.
K: Yes, Oliver
O: Russia has communists.
K: Yes, Oliver
O: Oliver go to Siberia with the Yeltsin and the Gorbachev and the Brezhynev and the Krushchev and the Lenin and the itty bitty tiny Marx.
K: Fine, Oliver. Go to Siberia and be with Marx. But it's cold in Siberia.
O: No Siberia?

(Translation: He's been playing with recently with K's Russian president matryoshka, which look a bit like this.)

Alas, there are no more communists in Siberia but big scary oligarchists.

He's inherited his mother's nostalgia for the romance of the Cold War.
