Time remaining is far shorter than most people realize. Snow piles up, snow melts away. A month or two from now this glorious homage to Russian greatness shifts back into 4th gear. Ukraine clings to life as Kiev is blasted, block after block, into debris piles. Where stoic giants stand off oppression, exile or a gulag reeducation bunk. And the band played on.
