When you copy someone else’s homework and change a few words thinking that’ll throw the teacher 🙄
The Russian Orthodox Cathedral, also known as Holy Virgin Joy of All Who Sorrow, cuts a central figure in San Francisco’s Little Russia neighborhood in the Outer Richmond.
And you can hear it in their voices. From the people who came here to escape war, economic hardship and political oppression, only to watch their relatives and friends suffer the fate they avoided. Broadcast on television. Every night.A woman prays at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral on Geary Street, in San Francisco. I find Alex Miretsky sorting newspapers and magazines in his Geary Boulevard grocery, the covers bright and tabloid, which is the norm in Eastern Europe.
He knows a lot about his mother countries, having traveled back and forth over the past 30 years, buying artwork from both well-known and unknown artists in countries like Ukraine, Georgia and Russia. “Yeah, just arguments people who are influenced by Russian propaganda,” said Miretsky. “This is kind of the main reason for arguing. They believe there was a genocide of Russian-speaking population in .”
“I would definitely need to close this store if I do that,” he said. “They will break my windows because these guys are very angry.” Like Miretsky, he is also getting calls from strangers asking him to change the name of his business. And they’re not asking nicely. His voice trails off as he ponders the imponderable. Like his fellow shopkeeper up the street, Skarabidze has noticed that people in Little Russia are talking less and less about the situation. A form of resignation has settled in.
You can see it for yourself at the Seakor Polish Deli, also on Geary, where the family-run business has been producing amazing kielbasa and kabanos sausage since 1978. He told me the conversations he heard about the war were more common early on in the conflict, with people trying to understand it. But like the rest of us, the people of Little Russia have realized there is no understanding to be had.
