The Three Sisters (1901)
To Moscow, to Moscow, to Moscow!
The Three Sisters (1901)
After us they’ll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they’ll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy.

The Three Sisters (1901)

To achieve this, he has to see and know more than did his grandfather and father.
