"Look, man," this Rasputin look alike in a thick brown robe lectured, as he held up the little rubber spider that he had ordered, and which had just come in the mail along with belly button brushes and whoopee cushions, "these will destroy the police state more surely than missiles."

He mimicked a Soviet customs guard.  "And what is this?" "A joke.  It's funny." He mimicked the facial expression, the contempt.  The dismissal.  "Move along.  Move along." Returning to himself, he pressed his point. "KGB has no sense of humor. They cannot imagine and this gets past them.  But - a child understands." 

Konstantin Konstantinovich Kuzminsky was born in November 1941, just before the siege if Leningrad.   He was a poet's poet.

He passed away May 2, 2015. He was a warrior of the human spirit and the truest freedom for the mind and heart and soul.  He survived the worst that the police state and the Twentieth century can inflict.  He taught all those around him to be free in their minds.  He inspired many.
