Moscow

Recently I had been visiting Russia more preciously Moscow (however I have been in Volgograd (former Stalingrad (the Battle of Stalingrad, remember?)) and near to Astrakhan next to river Volga too(I saw the Kraals brrrrr...)) and I saw a sad fact - on the streets there are many business class Mercedes, BMW's and hummers and even hummer limo's but that's not the sad fact, the sad fact is that although at first you think 'wow what a rich country' in the background of these cars there are old 'Ikarus' buses, and even the bus from the Sheremetyevo International Airport was ikarus, and it was very dirty too, so where the Great resources of the 'G'reat Russia are invested in? I think in some people cars and houses etc., and that's not the only thing... , out of city's old centre there is almost only old USSR block high-rise of which almost none is renovated... It's sad view, but I hope that Russia will rise, because of it's potential it has. However I enjoyed the trip especially the Red Square (unfortunately I didn't see the mummy of the Stalin ;(, but that's for the next time) and the Tretyakov gallery (you must see Aleksandr I vanov's painting "Appearance of Christ to the people", when I saw this great painting I felt the ants running on my back (I don't know if this saying is in English too, if somebody could correct me I would be thankful) I felt great energy, this painting only was worth seeing this gallery).
I hope that I will have a chance to visit the Saint-Petersburg also.
