A beautiful Russian cartoon titled "Your Cross". A man once had a very hard time trying to humble himself, and the Merciful Lord sent him an angel and gave a him a choice to pick another cross to bear in life. First this man liked the cross of a Prince - which lead to a sword. Then he thought that the cross of a monk is very nice and peaceful. And then he finally picks a very simple and light cross... and it turns out that he picks his own cross.

Having watched it, the Rusmeister can comment. Quite good. The main things said you might like to understand are when the angel said, "The Lord has heard your prayer. Choose your own cross to bear." and the end when he said, "The cross you have chosen is your very own."

It helps to know something of Russian history, at least the Mongol invasion and the 250 years of subjugation to the Golden Horde.

This one's a keeper.
