Impressions of Moscow, Russia

I don’t know what this is, but I admired this a lot.

Moscow-Russia-Church-of-Chris-Our-Savior — Church of Christ the Savior

Moscow-Russia-15 — Red Square Fortress

Moscow-Russia-14 — St. Basil’s Cathedral

Moscow-Russia-13 — Church of Christ the Savior Moscow

Moscow-Russia-12 — A small Church on Varvarka Street just beyond Red Square

Moscow-Russia-11 — This sign says Varvarka 2. I’m not sure what the letters below Varvarka say, perhaps Street. That’s a wild guess though. I have worked out that B stands for V and P stands for R. A and K are the same. 🙂

Moscow-Russia-9 — GUM department store next to Red Square. You can sit inside at a cafe and face right onto Red Square.

Red Square was closed, but we walked through a very chic store in GUM to a cafe that borders Red Square, where we could see what was going on. Many bleachers were set up.

Moscow-Russia-8 — We came upon this street when looking long and hard for lunch. It is next to New Arbot.

The restaurant where we had lunch, and what I had for lunch.

Moscow-Russia-2 — Zinger Grill

Moscow-Russia-7 — Red Square was closed to tourists. They were setting up for a military parade.

Moscow-Russia-6 — Marshall G.K. Zhukov Monuement in front of the Historical Museum of Red Square

Moscow-Russia-3 — The market street

Moscow-Russia-2 — The market street where we had lunch

Moscow-Russia-1 — Monument of Dostoevsky

Just a random building viewed from our hotel window

Outside Red Square fortress

Lots of flags on the bridges around Red Square

Moscow-Russia-5

Moscow-Russia-3

Many soldiers around Red Square

Moscow-Russia-7 — Busses parked in front of Red Square, presumably to fill the bleachers with soldiers for the presentation.

Moscow-Russia-8 — Outside the fortress

Just a random building across the Moscow River across from Red Square

Moscow-Russia-11 — More fortress…didn’t get to go inside.
