Oooh, I have such fond memories of this one. You see, these blast furnaces were mentioned in every soviet factbook for children, so I was very familiar with the image. In first grade, our teacher tried to be progressive and teach us letters in new and exciting ways. One of them was to let us make drawings of something that looked like the letter. When we got to D, I was so happy, because I knew just what I'd draw! It looked like a Russian D, and it began with a d! Fuckenawesome! When the teach asked me what I drew, I answered proudly and she gave me the "oh, it's Suhinina doing her Suhinina thing"-look. And I can still think back to my drawing and think "It looks like a D and it begins with a d, fuckenawesome!".
