The Russian capital

Traveling alone in Russia is definitely challenging, not impossible. And in Moscow it`s even easier.The capital of Russia is a huge bustling international city, with a population of 9 millions people and a different taste compared to the previous cities I`ve visited. Moscow is the city that will lead Russia to the future, it`a city of deep contrasts, but it`s a nice city. Some officers even know how to smile. The Red Square is the very heart of Russia and a huge melting pot of people and sights. On it, lies the Saint Basil`s Church, the luxurious Gum mall, the museum of Russian history and the most important cemetery of the whole country, the one where Lenin and Stalin were buried. In particular, Lenin`s tomb is a dark mausoleum in the middle of the square where Lenin`s mummified body is shown to the public. It made me smile thinking how the father of communism has been turned into a tourist attraction treated like those mummified animals that usually adorn hunters` houses. Well, I`m not sure if he would have agreed...
