Reluctant to anchor themselves to the ownership of apartments or cars, the brothers prefer to drift between their parents' and friends' homes in Yekaterinburg and various countries and continents. Still, they won't leave Yekaterinburg for good, because its subway, street-car stops and sidewalks are key sources of characters and language. "Our works are written essentially in the language of the people we live among," says Oleg.

...Warne discredited the prevailing view that the only way to rout batting line-ups was to bowl fast at them. With his growing mastery of what had been the dying art of leg-spin, he reminded us that batsmen could be killed softly with archaic weapons like flight, drift and spin. Compatriots of yesteryear wish he'd arrived sooner. "If we'd had Warne," says former Australian fast bowler Geoff Lawson, "we'd have held our own against the great West Indian sides...
