...cross-country skiing. The two-day weekend also means more time for old-fashioned hobbies such as stamp collecting and chess. Televised soccer and hockey games are popular, and a few privileged children have even taken up gocart racing.

The most recent issue of Novy Mir is running a memoir by Boris Pasternak, whose work has been suspect ever since he allowed his Doctor Zhivago to be published in the West (where it ultimately sold 4,500,000 copies).
