Bing uses Google search results, and Google itself was the one to figure it out. Pathetic, Microsoft. That's just pathetic. Get your own damn search results.

Need some suggested topics for Russian extra credit things.

I've written about borscht and the Belebog/Chernobog dichotomy.  I need... 7 more >_>;;

I ask mostly because I'd like to get this done ahead of time, and figure that some of you folks from the Slavic region might have interesting topics to think about.  Otherwise, I'll be moving on to Russian WWII military uniforms or something.

Russian Literature?

I've already written about Oblomov, but I was thinking about doing Anna Karenina or something like that.  Got any suggestions?

Anton Chekhov

This is a good idea.  Thank you.

Maybe.  I'll think about it.

There is only one Russian composer.

His name is Stravinsky.

You don't use freedom Penguin. First you demand it, then you have it.
No using. That's not what freedom is for.

I've read Crime and Punishment, and I am 100 pages in procrastinating through War and Peace.

So no.

This makes me sad.

Writing about Chekhov right now.  Next I'll probably do composers.

Other ideas would be great, though.
