Evert in Moscow

Oh yeah... :)

Hah! From the rocket monument to the golden arches. Maybe that's where Lenin was leading them all... :)

Last night I saw a dream that we were in some place warm, in Florida or somewhere else, however, I talked english with a Russian man, and he asked me what do I think about Soviet Union, yeah, he said Soviet Union. I said, "Well, I think it was very bad, kinda" or something like that. And he said he loved it, and it was great, or something like that. It was very weird dream, and I saw a lot of other weird things. I just got this dream to me head when I came to this conversation and when I saw those Soviet Union flags..Odd:D

:D

Me and... Lenin. That's the monument where his embalmed body is lying. At the time we were in Moscow the body was having cloth-change and other things to be done so the place wasn't open :( Maybe next time..

Happy Soviet People on the top of the gate to the theme park. :]

The train is coming, @ Moscow Metro, not sure which one of the stations, probably Prospekt Mira - the Square of Peace.

You probably heard about the tragedy of Moscow metro a couple of weeks ago in the States as well? There were big articles of it in the largest Finnish newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat. A bomb exploded in on the trains when it had just leaved a station and was in the tunnel. 39 died and many were injured.
Then a week ago a glass-made roof/wall of a water park came down and people died again.

Hard times as Moscow right now I suppose.

The Russian eagle on the top of one of the buildings at Kreml area.

It can also be found from some old statues from the Russian imperial time, in Helsinki. And this famous Finnish painting, from the time when Finland wanted to be independent, it is called "Hyökkäys", "the Attack", the Russian two-headed eagle is trying to take away the code of laws from the Finnish woman (see the colours of her dress and all). http://www.finlandia.org.pt/doc/pt/infofin/hyokkays.jpg

Yes, horrible thing have happened in Moscow in these couple weeks. This metro bomb, and the water parks roof. They showed pictures of the water park accident in news. People were swimming there, and the roof came down. There was -15C or something outside, and people weared swimmingsuits. Firemen had to carry them outside. Just horrible.
They have builded so much in Moscow now, that they dont have money to do it well, that's why buildings are so week.

That is horrible, yes. :( It is sad that no one anywhere is exempt from violence in our world. But we can take comfort in the fact that there are a great number of good people as well - a greater number whose kind and beneficial actions are not told in the newspapers, yes?
