The city of ?????, on the Oka. July 2005, on the way from the Krainka Sanatorium, near Suvorovo, Tula region, to Moscow. The common theme that shows up is the combination of incompatibles. See the best of them all, the "We organize wedding parties and sharpen axes" at www.staritsa.info/staritsa.htm

A fine example of collective farm from the village of Zhivotinki, somewhere between Suvorovo, Tula region, and Moscow.

A close-up of the face, for collective farm art connoisseurs.

  

The statue turned out to be quite larger than life when I attempted to get acquainted with it closer.   

One of Vovchik's numerous girlfriends is this champion axe fighter from Ryazan. I'm trying to turn Vovchik's obsession with cataloguing young women into something productive, like a small database of women personally known to him (plus 2-3 of my acquaintances) who are up for grabs.

A recently erected monument between three railroad terminals. The Moscow to St. Petersburg link, I believe, was also completed, around 1850, under his reign. This most active and liberal ruler of Russia was killed by a terrorist's bomb in March 1881.  

Moscow's stray and community dogs are a well-known and documented phenomenon. I'm putting this photo aside as a possible illustration for my Free Accommodation page at www.cheap-moscow.com

Russians like feeding others. Cats, pigeons, squirrels, hitch-hikers, someone who stumbled into your camp, etc. I may use this for my free accommodation page at www.cheap-moscow.com to show that you will always get fed and perhaps overfed.
