Early 1990s Mass Public Housing
Architecture: some fine examples of the early 1990s (carry over Soviet) mass public housing, provided free too somewhere in Moscow.
These are what is crasily known in English as large panel system-building or by its German name Plattenbau although they were first built in the Soviet Union.
Built in 1994.
I love them.
And at close quarters

Murals at a Metro Station and Other Photos
For today's photos here are some from last Sunday January 9, 2022.
These murals are at an entrance to the Chkalovskaya Metro station here in Moscow.
Chkalov was a famous Soviet pilot and in 1936 he made a record breaking flight from Russia to the US, I think.

Reportage Photography: T-34 Tank Museum
Here is a story in photos (reportage photography) of a visit to the T-34 Tank Museum somewhere north of Moscow.
Tanks various in front of the museum building.
This is from a couple of years ago, if memory serves.
These first photos are from the viewing area in front of the museum building.
Here is a Vostok Komandirskie tank watch and the very tank pictures on the dial.
Tank for the inquiring minds - you can walk and crawl on it - but not inside.
The Tsar Tank.
The Tsar Tank was maybe the world's largest tank build by Russia in the first World War, and this a full-size replica.
It was supposed to carry lots of machine guns.

And now moving inside.
