Drekitude is the lowest point in the lowest ebb. It could be your look. It could be your shoes. It could be that you're standing wrong. Drek is a total, total, total hot mess.
Andre Leon Talley
Russia is a place of great culture. If you've read Tolstoy's War and Peace, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Chekhov...the culture of the great Russian literature is amazing. The human narrative you get out of War and Peace is universal.
