"No, they were people I didn't know. They all had kind words. They tried to entertain me, took me everywhere and fed me.

My brother once spent several weeks traveling through Russia and said he was treated with equal warmth by ordinary Russians he didn't know, often of very humble means.

"New York, for example, the metro is very functional. No marble or murals such as in Moscow. They simply dig a ditch, put in the metal constructions, cover it with tiles, bury it, roll down the asphalt - and that's it."

I was completely amazed during my first visit to Moskva in the 70s when I travelled their subways. Incredible designs, pintings,ceilings, floortiles, etc. I am wondering how they look now....
