Tomorrow I’m visiting Saint Petersburg. I also have a ton of photos of Moscow that I haven’t even begun to edit yet. But for now, here’s some pics of my favorite statue, Worker and Kolkhoz Woman ((Рабо́чий и колхо́зница).
There’s quite a wonderful story behind this sculpture, and the ideas it represents. I did a write-up during my last visit in December, which you can read here.

Good day Ian,
I haven’t missed a post from either you or Maria. I read your post from your last trip. It’s an inspiring sculpture with so much life and hope unlike it’s sterile Nazi counterpart.
I’m very happy for you
