All good English Pravda writers now big shot capitalists. No have interest in writings any mores. We doing ours best.
Nice the Ruskies are taking car of the wee, furry ones!
Damn Europeans! They’ve taken half of Asia now!
100+ cats? They must use a backhoe to clean the litter box.
Excellent!
Thank you!
There is a movie about the history of the Hermitage entitled Russian Ark.
It’s rather spectacular with ONE camera traveling through the museum with live action scenes depicting many generations of events at the museum all in ONE TAKE.
92 perfect minutes of live action and great history, too.
It has English subtitles and, no, there are no cats in the film...
The Hermatage isn't the oly odd place cats are found ...
One presumes that the rodent population is being kept firmly in check.
Cats are so cool
I certainly hope so. They all look like they need to see some trees and some grass.

Seriously, cool cats and I like their giveaway policy. But I think thats still too many cats for one place. Who cleans up after them? They cant be allowed to go just anywhere amongst the artefacts, can they?
Evidently the vet’s tender ministrations don’t include spaying and neutering. (PS: Thanks for posting. Cat photos are always appreciated.)
Well I sure hope they have more litter boxes for their cats than they do restrooms for people. I’ve been to the Hermitage three or four times and it is completely astounding in terms of its sheer size and the amount of Art they have on display which is probably 1/25 of what they have in total. When you see those pictures from St Petersburg of those buildings that are half of a mile long, they really are half a mile long. And there are probably two restrooms in the entire building.

Russians seem to love cats. I enjoy their videos.
I love CATS and have since a child. I would like to have opportunity to visit the Hermitage but I have one of my own to manage here. And litter box duty is a chore to make an understatement.
Really liked the article.
Will check out your video links.
Vannox, thank you for posting this interesting article. I love all things Cat.
And have always wanted to go to Russia, so got a nice tour of the Hermitage and their love for cats.
Graphics-wise, there’s a video game waiting to be made in there.
