At Hyde Park with the kids. A young boy approached my 10-year-old Faizaan asking if he spoke English. Faizaan replied in the affirmative. The kid (Konstantin) wanted to speak about Minecraft, a video game kids this age love. I was overhearing this social engagement between the two, when Konstantin remarked to Faizaan “You know something. I am Russian. What can I do that we have a horrible leader. People say all Russians are bad but we are not. I like Minecraft like you”. A statement full of meaning I thought.
