And it's so of the moment.

And I remember the year 1984.

I remember the song.

It's too much.

It can't be that good.

And then it was that.

I came to it completely cold.

Just, oh, I should get work my way through this because it's another classic I haven't read.

And then it's incredible.

Well, you grew up in a communist country.

I remember, you know, I was a kid in the Cold War in London, and we were always terrified of Eastern Europeans.

You were going to come and kill us all.

And then I ended up marrying a Pole.

And we had Ukrainians who worked for us and worked with us.

And a few years ago, sitting around a campfire in upstate New York, the campfire was built by our old nanny's husband, who's Ukrainian, and he'd been in the Red Army.

And I was like, history is so strange that you end up... The Red Army used to be the ultimate enemy.

We're now just hanging out with it.

Everything changes.

You think these things are permanent, and they're really not.

We face some of that now, where you think these structures are permanent, and they're going to change.
