All this time, I thought Sasha was a gal person of the female persuasion. I guess a picture is worth a thousand assumptions.
I forget how I learned that Sasha was a nickname for Aleksandr (Russian form of Alexander) -- may have been from reading The Gulag Archipelago. Perhaps Yevgeni's brother should sign his posts with his un-reduced name...
