Her Shining Eyes

SOMETIMES PAIN OPENS THE SOUL …

Fourteen-year old Irina Kotova’s comfortable life as a promising violinist collapses in sync with the demise of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Her father is killed in a bar fight and her ailing mother is hauled off to jail without explanation. Now considered an orphan, Irina is forced to live in a state-run boarding school—the place where Russia’s throwaway kids are abandoned and forgotten. Overweight and insecure, Irina is constantly tormented by Vadim Solokov, a mean-spirited hooligan who takes great pleasure in reminding her that nobody cares about them. Irina is convinced he is right, and the not-so-mysterious theft of her precious violin seals her resolve to escape the school or die trying.  Will she find a place to truly belong before bitterness destroys all her dreams?

March 15 the visa countdown begins

by In: Jeanette goes to Russia

Russia requires all foreign visitors to obtain a visa, aka “permission to enter.” Each year I feel like I’m holding my breath until the Fed Ex letter from the Russian Consulate arrives with my passport and visa sticker affixed. Then, I am “sure” I’m going. Before I can apply for a visa, however, I have to get an official “letter of invitation” from an authorized Russian agency. This process involves yet another application, time, money, and the legwork of my faithful friend Tanya in Samara. For a reason yet unknown to me, even after nine years, the agency won’t begin to…
