He showed me the samovar , which he bought in Teheran in the early 1980 s and kept as a memento – symbolizing the Persian part of his identity . Of course I did . For me , the samovar is one of the most authentic Russian realities . “ Do you know that it is a Russian word ? ” – I asked , wishing to enlighten him with regard to the large number of Russian words that have been introduced into Modern Hebrew .
