Runglish

[Wilson Gray]

Bol'shoe spasibo, Darya! I'm rather disappointed, though. Since 1960,
when I saw the movie, whose title I've forgotten, and learned the
song, as one of the Vorob'i - the khor-meister was the very modest
prepodavatel', gospodin Vorob'ev - I've thought that Moldovanka and
Peresyp were a couple of girls, but I couldn't understand how one of
them could have a masculine name.
