What a great story about your visit to Moscow. You painted quite the picture. We visited St. Petersburg in 2018. The Hermitage was remarkable and the wealth of Catherine the Great was over the moon.
This is so beautiful, Joyce--the love and compassion and insight into the lives of people living such bleak lives, and yet with the capacity to give of the little they have. I think we have been lied to about the power of the Soviet Union and now Russia under Putin. It is a poor nation compared to so many others, and all its might failed to topple Ukraine so far---if only we had given Ukraine all they needed to end the war before Biden's term ended. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing your precious memories about Moscow even sharing an orange. The 🍊 brought to life the reality of 1990 for the people of Moscow. You are a great story ✍️.

That was the one place I wanted to visit after my trip ... well, that and more birch forests. Glad you got to see it!
I liked this a story that made me glad I never lived in Russia
