Yes, it is true. Russia still has an edge that America has failed to capture and call its own. It is fitting, however, that the land of vodka, matriyoshka dolls, and bone marrow soup holds the planetary title as stewards of three newly born duo-beasts.

Afterall, you've gotta be known for something. People want to know what's up with the mother country.

Does anyone have a fingertip on the pulse of Moscow or St. Petersburg? I'm curious.
