Impressions of Moscow

[ArmoBarbi]

Dont mean to interrupt this very on topic discussion, but did you guys know there is an Armenian cemetary in Moscow? My mother and I went to Vaganskoye cemetary, because we heard the Armenian church was by it, and when we tried to find it we were told on location that across the street there is a whole Armenian cemetary with a church right inside.

The cemetary itself is beautiful. There is a monument there, which is currently being renovated as we were told by another visitor, of an angel that is dedicated "to all the graves which were left behind". The flowers there were old and colorless, so we bought 10 new ones of all different bright colors and I arranged them lying and facing outward at the front to draw attention to the monument from far away (it was kinda hard to notice before) Then we went inside the church (which is actually very small) and lit candles. It was one of the nicest days I had in Moscow.

Nobody is liking Nazis here except for maybe that goofy doehnmeh ShabatShalom.

The thing is, the US wouldn't be able to go around the world bombing whoever and whatever they please during these 'good old days'.




I think you mean the average American citizen.

hehe In that case we can take away Armenian and Soviet... "Well, Im proud to be an American, where at least I know Im free..."

Ahh, just another beautiful day in Moscow. Can you smell the fresh air?

[ArmoBarbi]

Are there any black people in Russia?

Yep. Maybe you can correct me, but from what I remember it is right across street from the Russian cemetary where all the famous Russians are buried, the Armenian cemetary isn't as ornate though. I remember we went into the church too. That was a long time ago though, back in 91 right before the collapse.

Aha... I saw a few at the red square and just walking on the street. They moved in rather quickly I must say.

They call themselves Afro-Russians, and their slang name is "chocolate bunnies"... like this but chocolate I guess ->

Thats the one! The Armenian one looks much better now than the Russian one (thats what I refered to as "Vaganskoye")
