Vessarion

Thought this might be interesting for my Russian friends:

I've actually read about this guy while in Siberia but it's a huge effort to get to his place and we couldn't be bothered.

I think the impact of the story as narrated by a cocky America college student is somewhat diminished for me but the scenery alone makes me nostalgic.
