On Volga Embankment at Dubna

Strolling along an August 2022 embankment at Dubna, Russia, looking at the Volgo-Don 5061 on the river Volga, largest in Europe, fifth largest in Russia, a kind of river ship or self-propelled barge.


 

 


 And here are some views of the embankment, from which it was spotted.

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.
