Andy: Real quick, the last line is wrong. Eric's
transliteration put the prepositions in the right places:
na visokii bereg na krutoi ...
> > Onto the steep riverbank ... [literally: onto the high
riverbank, the steep ...)
Eric: I was taught the Katyusha song in one evening by a
bunch of old Russian guys who had survived the Battle of
Stalingrad. They made me an "honorary Russian" amidst a lot
of vodka toasting.
Andy: You're so bright. Too bad you're so heartless. You
can't see the commonality of people.
Eric: Don't forget the part about the eagle in the second
stanza of Katyusha.
