Some leftover Moscow shots from my Rollei.



There's talk of changing the glowing red stars to double-headed eagles (symbol of Russia), but I quite like the stars. I'm very taken with Russia's embracing of the color red and those ominous Soviet-style stars.




This is from the train station on the way back to St. Petersburg. The shiny letters on the far wall read, roughly,* "Lenin was here, bitches!"


*Not roughly, it says:
11 Марта 1918 года
на этот вокзал
в связи с переездом
Советского Правительства
из Петрограда
в Москву
прибыл
Владимир Ильич
Ленин

Which I'd translate to:
On March 11th, 1918,
at this station,
in connection with the relocation
of the Soviet government
from St. Petersburg
to Moscow,
arrived
Vladimir Ilyich
LENIN

...bitches!!!
