Montana ambassadors got Moscow crowd to embrace cowboy way

Montana met Moscow at a recent soiree at the U.S. Embassy.

Conrad’s Wylie Gustafson and Manchester poet Paul Zarzyski performed at the Spaso House, the ambassador’s residence, and drew about 300 people. And when the ambassador started dancing, the crowd followed suit.

In the Moscow Times’ story "McFaul Tears Up Dance Floor at Spaso Hootenanny," Zarzyski is quoted saying he bet people were having more fun at the event than they’d ever had at the embassy before.

"It’s 200-proof pure joy," he said.

The story in the Russian newspaper highlighted the Montana roots of Michael McFaul, U.S. ambassador to Russia. McFaul is from Glasgow.
