Yeah.
They have a very interesting culture there. Seeing the changing of the guard in Moscow near the kremlin is really something.. and they've got the fire that never goes out (can't remember the technical name)

THIS about the accident?
Absolutely knackered and was going to have an early night tonight but I just couldn't tear myself away from that film.
Looking at the potential scale of the disaster retrospectively is terrifying.
