Hey Josephus!

My brother is in Moscow! He is visiting Russia for a week, also with him is a friend from Cornell. Though tired, and jetlagged, Vitaly and I drug them allover Moscow today. We walked through Red Square, and then went to the "All-Russia Exhibition Center" (ВДНХ). We walked through this part, a sort of 35 year long World's Fair, to promote communism and the Soviet Union. Now, the grandiose buildings and monuments still exist, but the pavillions have been emptied of their communist propaganda, only to be replaced by market stalls of toasters, DVD players, and tourist souveniers. Quite an irony! Majestic soviet buildings covered in huge brass hammers and cickles, house markets and shops. Also fascinating was the sky high titanium Space Monument.
