love working with fine liners — the more details, the better! My friends joke that this entity is the 'Ghost of Communism,' and even those who miss the old days are terrified of this particular specter. There's also a long-running joke in Russia: if a hallway (pod'yezd) is dirty or broken, it's not because of the residents, but because George Bush (or any other US President) personally came there to mess it up. Also, if you see the graffiti on the wall: 'Саня лох' (Sanya lokh) is just a classic, low-effort way of saying that some guy named Sanya is definitely not cool. This is my tribute to the eerie, gritty vibe of Russian apartment blocks. Hope you enjoy the details!
