This post is just a proof that summer
has come to Russian cities.
Meet Ivan Brad, 38, senior road inspector of Russian road police unit. Some PR guys of Omsk city decided to get more attention from the drivers by putting full sized Brad Pitt faced figures that they call "Ivan" on the roads of the city. And same time young lady of Moscow, Ms. Anna, decided
to conduct her own attention experiment. You can see her driving license on the photo above together with the creative wrapping she made. It includes two Durex thingies in it, so her strategy was to look how the policeman's face changes when he gets such kind of ID.

Today we have a series of very nice piece of architecture staying abandoned for quite a lot already. It is from Abkhazia region, the place that was under Russian rule long before communists came to power. It's located on the Black Sea and was so beloved by old Russian upper class that they called it "Russian Riviera". This place has probably the most picturesque abandons from ex Soviet places. We had once the old abandoned railway station from there, if you don't remember take look here it was very nice looking series too. Today some shots of the
abandoned Prince's House, built almost two centuries ago by special Royal order. That's how it looked when prince got it. It was not very long the prince could enjoy it, the communists took over and nationalized most of the luxury property in Russia. During Soviet Era the house was turned in elite summer residence for Moscow higher up men. That's how the placed look when it was conversed to the Hotel "Seagull" by the personal order of J. Stalin So let's see what's left there today.
