“Vitebsk, a Russian village”

Vitebsk in 1900's. Zamkavaja street

Recently, JewishTheatre.com published an article about Marc Chagall, “Magical Modernist”. Here I quote the best part, the key sentence:

“Chagall’s lifelong touchstone was Vitebsk, the Russian village where he was born in 1887.”

If I were a wicked black-hat hacker from Vitebsk (a modern Belarusan city with 350,000 inhabitants and a 1000 year old history), I would’ve probably launched a small-scale DDOS attack against JewishTheatre.com, or at least mail-bombed that journalist, Richard Lacayo, who apparently is a senior writer of TIME magazine. I wonder where’s he from? From a small Mexican village called San Francisco?
