Over to you to decide on that one, sun surfer...

Given the murkiness of the author's region, the votes can decide.
Personally I think it sounds quite interesting but seeing as it seems to be a Russian expat writing about Russia I feel compelled not to support it for this region unfortunately, though if it wins I'll happily read it.
