With the technique of semi-infinite cohomology over (affine) Kac-Moody algebras the authors realize so-called Wakimoto modules as twisted Verma modules. Among other wonders this brings about a two-sided resolution of these twisted Verma modules leading to a semi-infinite analog of the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. The exposition is highly illuminating and equally breezy (lots of details are to be published).
