Russia inc - Mockba

Moscow ... and the Red Square, the Kremlin, St.Basil's church. It is just like it appears on tv. Very impressive and beautiful. Very well kept, and in good nick. You have to pinch yourself when you find yourselves in the red square. It definitely lives up to the hype. You can just imagine goose-stepping soldiers at Mayday parade and Topol ICBM's being paraded past the leadership. St. Basil's church.
More St.Basil's
Gateway to the Kremlin. The Kremlin is like a little Vatican, in that it is a mini-city, fortress like in the heart of Moscow.
Big department store on the red square, outrageously priced, little foot traffic, quite beautiful. Typcial tourists such as ourselves had a coffee in there. About all we could afford ;-)
