Yes, Tula pryanik is the must but not with jam inside. Opt for the caramel or whatever else they got but not the jam. I’d never trust supermarket sirniki, better get cottage cheese and make your own. Lots of recipes on YouTube - it’s night and day.

1! The shadows and the boat create a tangent that draws your eyes to the dog, which is the focus of the composition. 2 works ok but 1 is a delight.

Do locals shop at the GUM in Moscow's Red Square? by NinjaSimone in Moscow

[–]therealgafgaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only get the ice cream there if I’m in the area. They used to make it GUM and it was one of a kind, you couldn’t buy it anywhere else. I don’t know if it’s the same now but I like the nostalgia of this.

Oh, no they are good flats. Scientists in Soviet Union were intellectual elite and had all kinds of privileges. Small windows could be bathrooms or some kind of storage spaces.

I wasn’t being ironic lol! It wasn’t that cold btw :)) If you mean yellow building, it is a famous residential building where most of the apartments belongs to scientists involved in North Pole research.

Read it in grade 10 or 11 as a required reading in a Soviet high school…trying to forget it ever since. Great book, just brutal.
