My kinda post 🙂
You know, I wouldn’t step over anyone!
Today I learned that Soviet actually means ‘to advise’! Right?
right!! there is a commons insider joke that Russians are only good at giving advises 🙂 haha..
“Never step over small children, you might stunt their growth”
This is an Indian tradition as well. Though even elders don’t like you crossing over them – I’ve been asked to cross back to “undo” the action.
Thanks for sharing these fun facts.
fun? I am not sure these are FUN facts…just facts 🙂
These facts are new for me, axinia. It is notable that “Tchaikovsky” was a lawyer which reflects the education problem worldwide 😛 Anyway as humans we’ve many lawyers but one Tchaikovsky 🙂
Last week I was reading an old Sputnik, it had an article on Tchaikovsky with photos of his beautiful home!
I would love to visit Russia, to see the old architecture of the cities. I bet they’re filled with so much memory and love through the years.
Plus, to my artist eyes, it’s a goldmine of creativity.
an interesting insight, Fatima… I think you are right to the large extend, although I have never seen Russia like that 🙂
Well, even if you haven’t, I think simply being there would give you the same feeling. I mean, you talk about it so much, and have such love for Russia.
Maybe you don’t notice because the love you have for Russia, and the love it has for you, as always been there?
thank you Fatima, but as the famour Russian poet said “I love Russia, but my love is strange”… I am definitely a patriot and I keep my Russian passport despirte licing in Austria for 12 years. And yet..I would not be able to live in Russia any more.
But I love the land, for sure.
Hi,
Love your foto’s 🙂 Particularly the Mamayev picture by night (http://www.photohost.ru/pictures/345125.jpg) ! Would it be possible to receive a high-resolution version ? Thank you in advance !
Kind regards and best wishes for 2010 !

I read in a book that Russian army is an excellent defender (of territory), but not so particular about offense. The book also mentions that if Russians had gone to attack USA, they might as well start eating burgers on the way (in McD) and would enjoy it so much that the war would have never started 🙂

This is so true, DI, Russians are deffender by nature, and not those who likes to attack. The Mcdonalds joke goes a bit too far though 🙂
