Vermont's Russianicity

The news spread like a virus.

I was infected by a nonchalant email from another local Russophile, Myranda. “Thought you might be interested,” the email said, “since it is in Montpelier.”

Well, whenever anything Rus’-related is happening in Montpelier, much less Vermont, I of course take notice. While the world is now keenly aware of our little state’s awesome power over the US Senate, thanks to the actions of Senator James Jeffords, less may be known about the hugely disproportionate level of Russian-related activity that goes on here in the Green Mountains.
