The Power Of The Poet...

Who cares about the death or life of a dictator?... They don't visit Stalin's grave in Russia like they do Boris Pasternak's, who wrote "Doctor Zhivago". Yuri Zhivago was a doctor, ~ yes, but also a poet. His soul was pure and loving, and he tried to survive in Bolshevik Russia, at the time of the Russian Rvolution. His and Lara's tender and passionate love has touched millions. Today his grave in Peredelkino Cemetary in the village of Peredelkino, a small artist's retreat about 30 kilometers southwest of Moscow, is seldom without visitors. Boris Pasternk's house, where he wrote much of "Doctor Zhivago," is a museum.
