From Russia with Love

                  

Moscow is a surprisingly beautiful city ( even beyond the Red Square ) with a distinctive architecture ... specially the skyscrapers commissioned by Stalin ... you see them and you know you are in Moscow.

Just returned from a business trip to Moscow ... managed to check out some of the major landmarks in the evenings ...
