A century of Russian science taught the world to think in first principles - Tsiolkovsky's equation, Mendeleev's order, Sputnik's beep. Silicon Valley taught it to ship. We carry the best of the first across the bridge to the second, with deep respect for where the genius came from.
The top technical universities and labs of Russia and the CIS produce science that runs orthogonal to the Western tradition. Most people read that as a handicap. It is the edge. Our job is to get it across the bridge intact.
Cohort openings, party invitations, the odd confession. Once a fortnight at most, and never boring - we'd be too embarrassed.
The Telegram channel gets everything first - dates, photos, the odd rumour. Everyone else is fashionably late.
