Longing For Siberia
Olga Yunter’s story began in Siberia, in a place about as far as you can get before reaching the Chinese border, just on the edge of the southern steppe. It was an inauspicious start, her birth coming a matter of hours after the death from diphtheria of her two-year-old sister, Anya. But her childhood was a happy one, surrounded by her other sister and three older brothers, as well as the family nurse, a Cossack bodyguard, and her doting parents.

'Warhol appears to have been not so much alive as undead. He affected dopey inarticulacy in interviews, envied the automatism of machines and cultivated an affectless ennui as he limoed between parties.'
March's cover piece: Peter Conrad on Andy Warhol.
