Peter Vyazemsky Quote

God of frostbite, God of famine,
beggars, cripples by the yard,
farms with no crops to examine—
that's him, that's your Russian God.


'The Russian God' (1828) (translated by Alan Myers)


God of frostbite, God of famine, beggars, cripples by the yard, farms with no crops to examine— that's him, that's your Russian God.

God of frostbite, God of famine, beggars, cripples by the yard, farms with no crops to examine— that's him, that's your Russian God.

God of frostbite, God of famine, beggars, cripples by the yard, farms with no crops to examine— that's him, that's your Russian God.

God of frostbite, God of famine, beggars, cripples by the yard, farms with no crops to examine— that's him, that's your Russian God.
