How much will Russia’s cultural heritage suffer?

I don’t know. I’m wondering.

Soon after the start of the war, I got my mom out of Russia. She’s now with us in America. I’m happy she can spend time with our kids. She is babushka for them. She’ll improve their Russian. We speak Russian in the family, but teaching our kids to read and write in Russian requires a special effort and that’s what my Mom will do. Her academic background is in Russian language and literature. She made me read a lot when I was a kid!
