After a sold-out Edinburgh debut run, award-winning comedian and political refugee Maria Fedulova returns with a sequel to Russian. Mafia. Family. Are you a good person? Maria thinks she is. But compared to her great-grandmother, a literal orthodox saint, is it hard for a modern Russian woman displaced to the West to live up to those expectations?
