homeland is not the place on Earth where I was born, where my father and mother brought me
into existence, or where 'I am accustomed to living,' but the place where I was born in spirit and
where the creative work of my life stems from. If I consider Russia to be my home, it means
that I love, think, sing, and speak the Russian way; that I believe in the spiritual strength of the
Russian people and accept their history instinctively and consciously. Their spirit is my spirit;
their destiny is my destiny; their suffering is my sorrow; and their prosperity is my joy."
