"A miracle! There is Eastern Europe. There presents the Russia you cannot understand with logic, Russia with its Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov and the Idiot Count Myshkin. With the slogans and signs from the Soviet era. And throughout the whole performance one perceives a feeling of sympathy, loneliness and longing" Republica, Latvia
