Samovar
A samovar (Russian: самовар, IPA: [səmɐˈvar]; literally "self-boil", Persian: Samāvar, Turkish: semaver) is a heated metal container traditionally used to heat and boil water in and around Russia, as well as in countries in Central Europe, South-Eastern Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Middle-East. Since the heated water is typically used to make tea, many samovars have a ring-shaped attachment (Russian: конфорка) around the chimney to hold and heat a teapot filled with tea concentrate.
Though traditionally heated with coal or charcoal, many newer samovars use electricity to heat water in a manner similar to an electric water boiler. Antique samovars are often prized for their beautiful workmanship.
Description
Samovars are typically crafted out of plain iron, copper, polished brass, bronze, silver, gold, tin, or nickel. A typical samovar consists of a body, base and chimney, cover and steam vent, handles, faucet and key, crown and ring, chimney extension and cap, drip-bowl, and teapot. The body shape can be an urn, krater, barrel, cylinder, or sphere. Sizes and designs vary, from large, "40-pail" ones holding 400 litres (110 US gal) to those of a modest 1 litre (0.26 US gal) size.

Samovar
by: DreadnoughtsSamovar, you come to meet us via railway car
And have you really really come so far
You are the answer to
7 days of mortar, 20, 000 men
Who won't be seen again
They're lying scattered in the
Russian pines
Where the mountains and the waters shine
Where a decent man can age like wine
You are the answer for
Mighty might motherland
Star of flashing white
You are rolling softly in the night
Until you reach the morning light
The samovar is ready boys
The samovar is here
The samovar is ready boys
We shall persevere
June 23, I took a bullet right above my knee
And oh the doctor gave me PCP
I spent a fortnight just
Lying on my back and staring at the sky
Now my head is high
So it's time for them to die
In the sun
A 27 millimeter gun
How it is their fucking turn to run
For they have chased us from
Minsk out to Moscow
Volga to the Prut
Koba understood
So now everything is good
The samovar is ready boys
The samovar is here
The samovar is ready boys
We shall persevere
Samovar, you come to meet us via railway car
And have you really really come so far
You are the answer to
Mighty might motherland
Star of flashing white
You are rolling softly in the night
Until you reach the morning light
The samovar is ready boys
The samovar is here
The samovar is ready boys
