A newscaster on a Russian TV channel announces, “The victim of this crime was a young girl of 34 years of age.” In Russia, where any woman past the age of 24 is considered an ancient old reject (and this idea is being delivered day and night on every channel), “a young girl of 34” is an enormous progress.
This is so that people don’t tell me I only write bad things about Russia.
