Moscow From Bird Sight
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.
Right in the middle of Moscow there is the Kremlin, the center of political power of the whole Russia.
Moscow is the only monster city in Russia where are all the Russian money circulate, there are not any other major cities in Russia - all the richest companies of Russia have their main offices in Moscow only. Companies that drill for oil in far away Siberia have themself seated in Moscow and pay Moscow taxes.
It has been said that 90% of Russian money are in Moscow and 90% of those 90% are inside that smallest circle - the closest to the Kremlin road circle.
So you have landed in airport of Moscow, it’s really freezing outside and snowing. Welcome to Russia.

Doesn’t look like it’s snowing.
According to Americans Moscow is covered in snow 365 days a year. Poor Russians, how do they manage without warm summers?
You Americans are just trying to find BS about countries other than your own, even if you have to make it up. It does not snow the whole year, not even close, and it does not even snow in some of the southern parts of Russia. It is not always cold, and can actually get pretty hot during the summer. And Moscow is not the “only city” of Russia as this article puts it - St. Petersburg has a population of 4.5 million people, fourth largest city in Europe in terms of population.
Don’t be foolish and assume that all Americans make up BS about other nations. The opinions of the media and our presidency do not reflect the entire population of our country.
You can view more photos from Letchik Leha here:
Whole sentence should be: “Companies that drill for oil in far away Siberia have themselves seated in Moscow and pay Moscow taxes… …while they leave corpses and pollution behind, in Siberia”.
Mr.Abramovich & Co. (including some Putin guys and local governors) know quite a lot about it: Omsk refinery’s manager was killed several years ago before being controlled by Sibneft… last year Sibneft moved its registration to St. Petersburg. So pollution and corpses are left in Omsk while taxes are paid into Matvienko’s pockets.
PS: Matvienko is the governor of Saint Petersburg and Putin’s sweetheart.
[...] These pictures really make Russia and the experience of traveling come alive. [...]
One of those Airplanes has a US flag on it, are you sure this is Moscow? And where is the snow?
[...] More Photos [...]
And other airplanes has a russian flag. Be closer )
Oh my God.
Author, I award you a medal.
It is called, “For mindlessly turning anything inside out for propaganda reasons, 1-st class.”.
Ok you got, like, 6 photos made from a cabin of airplane. Then, you wonder “is pilot allowed to do this or not”(and will he get shot, if he is`nt, yes?), then you immideatly jump to politics (o_0 what?), and start all like “Moscow is the only MONSTER city in Russia where are all the Russian money circulate, there are not(?) any other major cities in Russia(not at all?) - all the richest companies of Russia have their main offices in Moscow only.(Ha ha.:D)” And then you it is freezing and there is snow. (Wow. Snow. It is cold. Wow.)
And then comes Homer.
Oh, ok. If you get your kicks from it… Enjoy yourself.
“Медицина здесь бессильна”.
“And then comes Homer.”
Acts_of_Atrocity: Yeah, unfortunately it’s Homer Simpson, the greatest American dumb-fuck, and not Homer the great Roman poet.
[...] Link & Image: English RussiaTags: Moscow | Photograph | Photo | Photography [...]
Homer was Greek
Interesting, Russia always looks better the further away you get.
Hey dRE… Trying to be a smart-ass, eh?
Regretfully what Homer told is pretty accurate… shameful for Russia but true: most people ruling the country just care about filling their pockets and don’t care about what it takes to get it.
La Russe! I knew it! Now I know, how to help you with your phobia!
Just move OUTSIDE of Kremlin walls, and farther you go, better you are!
I also suggest for you to move as far from Russia as possible within a limits of planet Earth. To South America, any country - Suriname, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru or Bolivia! Or maybe Cuba? Think about it!
If that will not help, I just recommend you to travel away from civilization, and especially Internet.
You will feel relief, I promise.
Terrific photos (whether permitted or not). My thanks to the pilot for sharing these fantastic views with all of us.
If you want to see just how developed Russia really is then fly right across Siberia on a cloud-free night and keep looking out the window at all the lights.
so beautiful….! *sigh*
GRAHAM BELL: That’s quite an amazing burst of ignorance. I suggest you check out the population figures for Siberia, which show that the population there is plummetting even faster than the general population. Huge swaths of Siberia are totally uninhabited now, and the Chinese are moving in. If you saw a lot of lights, perhaps it was the impoverished people who remain (earning $300 per month or less) setting fire to their homes to keep warm.
Good images
2 La Russophobe
In your country, population’s increased by chineses and mexicans already.
In the last photo, the aircraft with the American flag on its tail is a U.S. Air Force C-17, which is evidently based in Charleston, South Carolina. Interesting indeed!
My guess is that the second photo was taken from a TU-134 cockpit.
ANDREY: Next time don’t “estimate,” just try reading a book. I know it’s a strange idea for Russian to actually collect facts, but try it anyway! It’s fun! America now has a population over 300 million and it is growing, while Russia has a population of less than 140 million and it is falling. America’s economy is $12 trillion while Russia’s is $1 trillion. Would you like to discuss this topic further?
2 La Russophobe
About population of USA))) Who increases our population. Americans?
Are you sure? How many people from Poland in USA? India, China, Mexico.
From Poland at least 2 000 000 in Chicago
welcome to Pol…States
and (I know such examples) some from Mexico are also from Poland due to the “no-problemo” border

Thanx for statistics. La Russophobe likes it.
“Interesting, Russia always looks better the further away you get.”–LR
Yes, I’ve noticed this effect occurs with respect to ugly women also. Perhaps you’ve noticed men smiling at you from afar, only to turn away when they get close? Interesting indeed.
ANDREY: The whole point is that NOBODY wants to go to Russia to increase ITS population, you blockhead, because Russia is a total disaster hated by the whole world, and for good reason.
2 La Russophobe
)))
We don’t need that mexican or africanos increase our population.
It’s fact that the whole world dislike America. ) Lots of countries.
(Feeling amlost Orgasmic about La Russophobe)
I would like to pay you too, LR. Your posts amuse me SO MUCH.
:-*
HAHA about hatred of the whole world i think it’s out of the question. it’s USA
Read about Russia’s disastrous results in the recent UN study on quality of life, where America improved from #10 to #8 in the world, Russia fell from #63 to #65. Russia has top 20 GDP but #65 quality of life. It’s total failure to provide for the population, and gets worse under Putin.

Just for DRE, he asked for it.
ACTS OF ATROCITY: Here’s something that should send you right into outerspace with a surge of delight: America, supposedly hated by the world, has five times more international tourist arrivals than Russia. One Russian woman is killed by her husband in every 40 minutes. Doesn’t that make you want to go out and proclaim to the world what a wonderful place Russia is? Maybe you’d like to round out your day by killing a Russian woman, just to celebrate? That is, if you can stop laughing with pleasure long enough. And while the sun is setting, you can think about the fact that today the Russian population will decline by 3,000. Have a nice orgasm, you great Russian patriot!
2 La Russophobe
One american studen is killed by other one by a gun at schools in
every 20 minutes. Could you do it faster?
One american drinks 2l. Cola and eats 10 burgers in every 30 minutes.
STOP!!! African children need to eat also. )
One american farts in every 5 minutes. STOP!!! It makes the Earth dirties.
One american farts in every 5 minutes. STOP!!! It makes the Earth dirties.
Comment by Andrey — November 15,
HAHAHAHA!! that’s good! I think La Russophobe has been farting out of her mouth too!
to Andrey: interesting stats, where is it from?
to dear L’Russo
i’ve noticed that that you mention tourism almost in all your posts… these are not tourists mostly… just 3d world guys looking for better place… (I wonder if one day your blog will be also in spanish or chinese…)and by the way your new melting bushland is hated by the rest of the world and not supposedly and without any reason…
also some death statistics… u r using it a lot… just spend some of your time and count “while the sun is setting” the American population will decline by what number? U wont, but try… Have a nice orgasm, you great former “Russian” russophobe!
heard from one politician: Sitting in a castle, splitting on everyone outside will do no good for the castle people…
thank you
Ow yeah!
Call me “Da` Ladykillah”, baby!
ANDREY: You are a pathetic liar. In other words, you’re a Russophile.
ATROCITY: Well, now everybody can see just how much respect you deserve.
2 Alex D.R.
It’s from http:/La_Russophobe_is_cock_sucker.com
ANDREY: Thanks for the free publicity, and at the same time showing that I’m so very right in what I say about the Russophiles. I almost feel like I should pay you!
ALEX:
Dude, your English needs work. Study a bit.
Meanwhile, I KNOW that the USA is hated by everyone, that’s what I SAID, you moron. But EVEN THOUGH IT IS HATED it has FIVE TIMES MORE FOREIGN TOURISTS than Russia does. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO COME TO LIVE, IT IS TEMPORARY VISITORS. If we include those who come to live, the amount is much bigger.
If America is SO HATED, and yet has SO MANY MORE VISITORS than Russia, what does that say about Russia? It says Russia is one of the most hated countries in the world, even more than America. And instead of trying to change that, you attack me. Which means you GO ON BEING HATED and ultimately destroy yourselves.
In other words, you’re a classic Russian moron.
[...] We had here recently shots of Moscow city at night by Letchik Leha, the guy who works as a pilot on a big civil airplane and is fond of making photos right from the plane’s cockpit. [...]
nice, much better than I thought~
ALEX
La Russophobe
Very lovely.
You think that Rusofob better the Russophile?
LaR - R u really that lonely? R u really that empty? You seem to have a pathological desire to attract attention by being crazy. Like Ames says, there are other countries too which seek your moral crusades
P.S: America is not perfect, Russia is not either. Live with it
there is that great site where they all talk and teaches men about female orgasms. the site is: http://www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com/femaleorgasm/

It’s amazing how you don’t find the “east side-west side” effect on russian cities… urbanplanningwise speaking.
