From the amber coast to the amber waves of grain.
I worked with a Russian woman (one of several) and asked her once if she ever wanted to go back and see the old homestead.Her, "Noooo", was so resounding I can still hear it.
My Parents expressed the same sentiment.
Another Russian with whom I worked came from Minsk, which was devastated in WWII.Somehow the subject of religion came up (I think WRT the War) and she said something about how her family had forgotten what religion they were.Which said a lot to me about what life must have been like over there.Sveta sometimes wasn't as forthright as Dora, but she made her point.
Worship of the State replaced worship of the Book.
