Alas, Wow! and Ah Well

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

An ironic, anti patriotism "Alas" parade in St Petersburg this month sparked a series of follow up parades in Russia. After "Alas" came "Wow!", and after "Wow!" came "Ah Well". Prompting the question - why all the parades and the odd titles? 麻豆社 Russian contributor Tatyana Movshevich tells David Amanor how it all started.
