Though I suspect that any high school student who spent a semester working on the yearbook has more journalism experience than the incoming head of CBS News.

“It makes it so easy for Russians to say: we will kill you and then we will ask for sorrow and forgiveness, and then we will kill another people in another country, but what can you do, our soul is just a mystery.”

Really exquisite, potent poems translated by @bdralyuk.bsky.social.
