A reverse-angle of the ubiquitous tourist's picture of St. Basil's Cathedral. This is from inside the church looking out onto Red Square. The state-run GUM department store is on the far right. Lenin's Tomb and the east wall of the Kremlin are just off-screen to the left.
One of the extraordinary cathedrals in the old section of the Kremlin. The entire triangular Kremlin complex is behind a tall brick wall on the left side of the previous picture.
A typical view of a modern Moscow street. Every corner is packed with independent, grey-market kiosks selling everything from candy bars, soft-drinks, and vodka to CDs and videos. This is outside the Ulitsa-1905 metro station near the apartment where I stayed.
