Quick blog: the LSE is known for its colossal library that combines books on politics and economics. Finance and Math got their spots at the stocks too. One day, being sick of politics and quantitative readings, I have decided to take a break and read some fictional literature such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, or Pushkin. It was a day of classics. I go up to the third floor of library and discovered a section titled "Russian Catalog." To my surprise Pushkin, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy were not worth enough to be stocked at the LSE. However, I did find piles of magazines authored or edited by Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin and etc. All of them were in Russian. My conclusion is that once you are at the LSE, nothing else matters except economics and politics.
Big dilemma occurs then because according to the Russian poet, Tutchev:
Not by the mind is Russia understood,
Nor is she measured by a common rule:
She has a special stature of her own;
In Russia one can only put his faith.
