Explanation of photos from Yekaterinburg and Moscow

Pictures from Yekaterinburg to Moscow
These are just a few of the many photos that we have snapped along the way. Some showing you the country side, Siberia and Russian country sides are beautiful. Lot and lots of trees, vast areas for crops and wild flowers The Cathedral was built on the site of the royal family’s summer house where they were executed in the basement by the Red Army. Then there is the Monastery that was built on the site of an old mine 40 mines outside Yekaterinburg where the bodies of the Romanov Royal family were dumped. They were dug up in the late 90’s and the memorial to them commenced in early 2000. It is a place of great serenity and peace.
The remainder of the photos are taken in and around Moscow, at the Kremlin, Red Square, a shot of old apartments which were built during the communist regime and a tall apartment block in blue and white which is in a nice part of town and the apartments of 2 bedroom start at $7 million each.
The house with the high wall # 32 is the house where Niki Khrushchev used to live. There is also a shot of some villas behind a fence, then are in central Moscow, a very nice area and where built as modest houses (yeh right) for the leaders of the communist party, their summer houses in the country where much bigger. There is also a shot of an apartment building with plaques on the outside. These where put up in memory of those men who lived in the building with their families and worked for Stalin, but whom he had murdered when they didn’t do just as he said. Their wives and children were also killed. A total of 500 in all out of 750. They just disappeared .Other shots are taken around Moscow. Hope you enjoy these.
