On April 4th I touch down in Moscow. I was hoping to go to Kiev but that is not in the cards. While I'm there I'll ahve nothing to do but see the sights and explore so if you have any requests for photos let me know.
Please do post some pics. Anything that has anything to do with Stalin, the Red Army, Russian cuisine and WWII would be greatly appreciated by me. Thank you very much in advance.
I've already seen Lenin in his tomb twice, I am not going to spend the rubles to see him again. I didn't like it the first time. They should just plant the poor bastard and be done with it IMO. I'm going to go to the Central Armoured Museum, Victory Park and any other place I can find. I have yet to see the Airforce Museum and Kubinka Armoured Museum. That's tough to do, you need authorization as its on a military base. I'll see if I can find a statue of Stalin, they are around but very rare.
Thank you thank you. Please don't forget to take some photos of traditional authentic Russian cuisine. PS: why are you calling Lenin a bastard, he created the Soviet Union
I'd love to see any photos you have! Moscow is apparently a beautiful city. It has very interesting architecture.

You saw him twice?!?! Jesus, once was enough for me. If you havce not visisted the War museum I strongly recomend it, however; it sounds to me like you know you way around.... I will be waiting for the pictures! Have a fantastic trip.
My dad went to Russia and did a whole 40,000 dollar trip traveling forever within the Russian Federation. I remember it as the month we had mcdonalds :| anywhoo, good luck on your trip.
I love St Basils Cathedral, I can look at it all day and if I were to have my way it would be my house!! No picture does it justice, I think it is the 8th wonder of the world. I went to the CAM once and I can't find the pictures it was the same trip I went to Smolensk which is a very beautiful place also. Kubinka is on my list.
