The other day I watched some street interviews in Moscow. The first person said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was justified because Ukrainian government officials were Nazis. The second said that the invasion was necessary because Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is a Jew and, as such, is stealing everything. Later, I watched Donald Trump give a campaign speech praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and calling the U.S. intelligence community “lowlifes.

Most of today’s famous fiddlers are Russian. By rights they should have been Hungarian. For most of them were pupils of a great Hungarian fiddle teacher who happened to do most of his teaching in Russia: the late Leopold Auer.
