Decemberists were a group of Russian intellectuals, artists and thought leaders. They played very important roles in Russain history. Their wives' stories were as fascinating as theirs.
This is the only clip on the topic in Chinese i've known, you might be interested. starts at 2:28. I know many others in russian, but you may have hard time to translate.
Almost everyone under 35 yrs older In Moscow or St. Petetsburg can speak good english, just like people in West Europe. Most people are well educated with good manner, and streets are much cleaner than Paris!!
Literature and theater plays are really good too, but need to understand the language.
What i really enjoyed is talking to local people, many interesting people, and so many good dancers. Famous musicians could play in subways and restaurants.
去年读了a gentleman in Moscow，作者借书中角色之口，从名画的角度解读欧美不同民族的某些东西。
法国人有以法国7月革命为主题的Liberty leading the people, 荷兰人有以保护公民为主题的Night watch, 美国人有以美国独立战争为主题的Washington crossing the Delaware, 无一不是领袖们服务公民，保护公民，骨子里的精神都是平等，是自由。
俄国人有什么呢？两幅名画，Peter the great interrogating Alexei, Ivan the terrible and his son. 这两幅俄国人最得意的画，都是沙皇和儿子之间的杀戮。君君臣臣 父父子子。君要臣死，臣不得不死。
俄罗斯民族是个悲情的民族，近代的大清洗，大饥荒，都是生灵涂炭，以百万为单位。往远里说，除了彼得大帝时代，其他时间段则是欧洲最穷的国家，苦寒之地，地广人稀。
可比如说农奴时代，农奴们白天逆来顺受，晚上喝醉了打老婆，欺负自己人。难道俄罗斯人就只有豺狼和绵羊吗？
历史为什么总是重复自己？俄罗斯民族为什么就这样一代代悲情下去？

Russian movie: The Decemberists
in Moscow or St. Pertersburg. Those paintings were absolutely powerful and expresssive, can't find those anywhere else in the world.
从来没跟过团，去俄国自己去可能比较难，想找个小团。

这次有点懒，不想做太多功课。
最好是当地找个私导。
Ave. people's salary is low, so everything is cheaper with decent quality. :))

很有感触。。。肮脏的 政客， 简单善良 追求自由并 带有 血性的 民族。。
同时 想起了 几个日本宪兵 能制服中国 整村人 的 故事。。
社会 总要向前 发展的， 希望国家少走弯路，越来越好。。。
我认识的俄国人，个个都是很高傲自豪的样子。不管是生活在远离莫斯科的小城市，还是在美国各地安家，俄国人的清高傲骨没有两样。每个俄国女人，不管老幼，都把自己看作冰雪世界的女王和公主!
