Moscow, Russia

October 27, 2017 by Rhyan Thomas

The Kremlin…The Red Square…The Bolshoi Theater…I have known them all since my early childhood, yet I had to wait over 6 decades before I finally had a chance to see and experience them with my own eyes.

In many ways Moscow, with its 12 million people, is like any other modern metropolis – crowded, magnificent and choked with traffic. Russians seemed to have had little difficulty accepting capitalism 26 years ago. These days, it is difficult to tell the difference between this city, Paris, Berlin and London.
