Perestroika

February 8th, 2005

I flew home from Moscow this afternoon.

When I was last in Red Square in 1981, the guards were goose-stepping up and down in front of the Kremlin wall.

Yesterday, not only could I go inside the Kremlin, but a guard inside was feeding the birds.

Inside the Kremlin

Very different memories…
