Very nice. I was in Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1998. Got to see Red Square, and I loved the art in the subway. Also got to see a couple cemeteries and big farms with tiny houses on them.

Cool! Thnx.
Back in my globe trotting days all of USSR was off-limits to me. In fact I was unable to even visit the ‘western’ section of Berlin. And while I now have occasion to visit the continent now and again, I have yet to manage a visit to Russia…
Nice to put some names with places I’ve wondered about after seeing only on film or television…

I will have more pictures soon. They are not mine but I think most people wouldn’t have found them any other way.
