The Kremlin Great Palace and Palace of Congresses are the meeting places of sessions of the congresses of people's deputies of the Russia.

12 Have a safe trip! What people say about crime in Russia is a lie. I have never felt so safe in any city before. Crime only affects people who are with the mafia, deal in drugs etc. People are friendly.

A Modern Russian Parable
by MrBill
One day a woman was visiting her husband that lived and worked very hard in Moscow. They were sitted at one of the best tables at Cafe Pushkin where they enjoyed a view of everything that was going on.
They spotted an old friend across the restaurant, and she said,
"Isn't that Jack Spalding?"
"Yes, it is", answered her husband.
"And, who is that pretty young girl he is with?", she queried.
"Oh, that's his mistress", the husband said sheepishly.
"My Lord", she cried, "that is terrible. How can he do such a thing at his age?"
Just then their meal came and they tucked into some delicious goose liver pate' washed down with some lightly chilled dry white wine. As they were eating, along came another pretty, young lady and stopped to talk to the husband. He seemed to know her very well, and they chatted amicably for some minutes.
After the young girl left, the wife asked,
"And, who was that then?"
"Oh, that is my mistress", he answered. "
"What? I want a divorce", she cried.
"Okay, but you realize all our wealth is tied-up in this joint venture in Russia, and that I am leveraged up to my eyeballs. You will have to go back to work. And, you will have to give up the Club and the expensive shops. Plus, the weekend home and the Mercedes, too" he intoned?
She fell silent and thought about this for a while, until the next course came, which was a beautiful shashlik of wild game and vegetables, which went perfectly with the bottle of French red wine.
Then she said, "Our mistress is prettier than Jack's isn't she?"
Elokhovskaya Orthodox Church - 10 -

Here you can see the mothers and godmothers with the babies infront of the metal fence, with visitors and family behind. This is good for crowd control. Everyone had to stand for the entire time, so it did get quite tiriing towards the end. It would have been nice to sit on one of the benches in the viewing area. I suppose this allows visitors to view the chapel when the priest is not there by shutting off the viewing area from the altar area, too.
