I can’t imagine walking down the street and seeing those kinds of buildings! Amazing. The Putin matryoskas are a laugh! I like the cat ones, though!

It’s amazing what old cities can end up looking like – coming from a ‘young’ country.
Just wow (again!) What an incredible place. Do you have a favourite landmark?
I can’t get over that Onion Dome-y place. Exquisite. And Red Square. And those flavour-of-life pics with the little girl and the magic statue.
I think my fave was in St Petersburg, with the onion domes in green and blues.
Look at the beauty that comes from things made just for beauty. Not for utilitarian purposes. Lucky the soviets didn’t destroy it all.
It is nice that they didn’t flattern ornate cities as their policies on decorative items changed.
