He was born in Leningrad and probably never saw a wheat field in his life.
I was also born there, I saw wheat fields since I was a kid - thanks to my Ukrainian family, but I don;t understand a thing in agriculture.

VVP is a huge step forward, but still I can't agree with his policy, and such pictures are good for semi-literates but not me. Thanks, no.
