Red Square

A common place one has to visit in Moscow.

This is a big hughe place. You may also buy some ice cream near that place, also in Winter!

I have this obsession with eventually seeing the big three dead socialist leaders: Lenin, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh. It fascinates me that these people are considered to have been so instrumental to their countries that they will actually PUBLICLY DISPLAY THEIR DEAD BODIES.

Uncle Ho is done. I’ve been to Beijing three times, but never quite managed to see the Chairman, but I plan on that happening next time I go to China (hopefully, next summer).

So, the only one left for an unknown time in the future is Lenin.

The square itself is only open twice a week. Make sure you go on a day its open. Otherwise, you cant even walk around the edge. Worse than that, I couldnt even go a block away and walk around it that way to get to the other side. Oddly enough, Lenin’s tomb is not open the days the square is open, but it is open the other days.

And so it is.

A panorama of many of Russia’s greatest hits.

To stand by Lenins tomb, to witness the austerity of the last days of the failing soviet regime, to be in a city that history echoes through the twentieth century and to have a flight booked for Leningrad – all amazing stuff.
They sell ice cream in -25 degrees, it’s easy, you dont need a fridge!

I wish I had more time to visit

I am here, and I still remember the first moment I’ve came to see what damn that Square (ruling the world of 15 sisters) is? really I ask myself why those square stones are in different color? They are not red… Yeah, joking… But anyway if you still thinking they should be red, approve that they aren’t…

I don’t know how to explain other feelings and if it worth to share… but something inside said me, yeah man it was a history, a great story of mucking the heads…
