12 deg C, some sun

After purchasing a train ticket to visit my relatives, my cousin and I headed for the Museum of Russian Political History. What an interesting find! It was full of photos, documents and memorabilia from the Soviet era, and even some items from before the first revolution. It took around 2 hours to visit and was (for me) more interesting than the other exhibits I’ve seen.

The stories of the people back in the early days of Soviet Russia are incredible, and make me very grateful that I’m living in the present day. Having said that, life wasn’t impossible – just very difficult! There are some photographs depicting a very disturbing period in Soviet history, when some guy decided he didn’t like random people and decided to eliminate people in numbers well in excess of today’s Australian population.
