Hi Dave, Fascinating expansion of Mr. Potemkin Villages, especially of his time in Moldova and the significance of his expanding Russia for Catherine the Great and Putin's re use of expansionist theory.

Thanks, David for revealing this fascinating bit of history. And love the bit about the great Potemkin's value vs a raccoon! Hope this says something about how a current "great P----" will be valued
