Truly this is an essential read, both as beautiful writing and as a corrective about ordinary Russians' attitudes toward the war in Ukraine.

@waz____ @kshaheen "Your turn comes, ya Doctor" or "It's your turn, Doctor" might be two ways to translate it. In Arabic, it has the benefit of rhyming. Hope you enjoy the piece.

Between the euphoria of revolution and the despair of exile, a Syrian finds solace in Sadiq Jalal al-Azm’s wine.
