This music video is from Georgia, ex-USSR country. It has been said that in Georgia average salary is $80 per month, $960 per year, and that's not a minimal, that's an average salary across the country, so a big fraction of Georgian people work in Russia. There are also rumours that during Soviet era more than half of

criminal leaders were from Georgia. Also there many areas of Georgia are not connected to central electricity system and every appartment in the house lives thanks to their personal diesel electricity generator. This piece of music video is from that far away country from the shores of Black Sea.

Russian guy Letchik Leha works as a pilot in one of air companies. He sometimes makes photos right from pilot’s cabin when he as a pilot flies with a crew. I don’t know is he allowed to do this or not, but here are some of his photos. This is Moscow city at night and his landing on a heavy passenger airliner to one of Moscow airports – there are a few airports in Moscow which population is almost ten million people. By the way the flights above the

Moscow itself are prohibited by Russian law so all the airports are not inside the city itself but near Moscow and in order to make a landing pilot must make a right curve not to crossing air space of Moscow itself. Moscow planning is made in form of giant circles - there are three bigger circles - wide roads around the city so that you could find a suitable exit for yourself when you drive thru Moscow.
