A warm summer day and the time to wander about, very nice indeed.

Seems to be more color and billboards than before, a shame because the buildings in the central area are quite pretty.

I did notice more than a few Hammer and Sickle flags in the photos and on the TV coverage....would these count as the obligatory "Reactionary Dogs" so popular just a few years ago?

The hammer and sickle flag on a white background belongs to a group called the National Boshleveks, a hybrid between Communist and Nazi tendancies. They have gotten into spats with both the Russian Government and the KPRF (Russian communist party)
