Me in front of Lenin's mausoleum. As is often the case these days, it was closed to the public.
The changing of the guard at the eternal flame, pretty much the Russian equivalent of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. These guys just popped out of a random gate and marched past us; I thought they were regular police until they started goosestepping and I noticed they were carrying rifles.
Your hat is less than stylish, comrade! You should buy (grow?) a ushanka! It is ultimate of stylish hats! It keeps me warm in Scotland, so what would it do in Russia! Thank you! Thank you!
