"Умом Россию не понять,
Аршином общим не измерить:
У ней особенная стать —
В Россию можно только верить."

It's impossible to understand Russia, you can only believe in it, said russian poet Tyutchev. My heart is in Russia.

 

 

  

 No, Russia is not only "snow, bears, Putin and vodka"

 It is warm sometimes in Russia as well.

September morning in Moscow. It was really hard to get up that early on that weekend, but I think these shots were worth it.

  

 This picture reminds me of Canada for some reason

 

 Typical russian houses in the 1960s.

 

In the summer in Moscow people gather at this fountain since its in the center of the city, very close to the metro, and right near the mall.

I love this place; the bridge where couples come on weekends just to enjoy the romantic atmosphere and beautiful view of the Moscow River.
