No, unfortunately... I did not see one . I just found recent DVDs on Moscow and St Petersburg (not seen yet...).

Admiralty
Another view of the Admiralty - the HQ of the Russian Navy from 1711 to 1917 -, with a different light.

naval museum
ch.
did you make it to the naval museum? I was in Tallinn, just a few hours away by car, while you were in St.Pete. Tallinn is nice, small, but well preserved. DD |

Hi Doug,
It was on my plan. I wanted to save time enough to do it on my last day in St Petersburg... and, unfortunately - as things sometimes happen - I have not got the opportunity to do it... Bad timing for this time. I will do better next time !!! Doug, thanks again for all your hints. Did you see or find interesting things in Tallinn ? Cheers. Ch. |

Tallinn
Hi Ch.
well, next time you will make it to the Naval museum (what about the artillery musuem?)...Tallinn is a really nice, old, city. They have wiped out any Russian traces though. The women are the most amazing I have ever seen, bar none ( I have been in 33 countries, 44 US states)...they all looked like Anna Kournikova. DougD |

Tallinn
True, we did go for lunch at a very soviet era bar / club in the russian section of Tallinn...however, what i was writing about was the traditional tourist Tallinn. The russian section looks alot like the apartment blocks outside of moscow; but in regular Tallinn they are erasing all they can of the soviet-russian occupation ( the occupation museum being a great stop; it makes the russians seem worse then the germans).
i was amazed by how the Finns seem to be all over. They come over by ferry and go home the same day. Our city tour was in english and finnish. I did not meet any other americans, just a few brits who seemed to be happy to be drinking, no matter where they were. is Riga worth a visit? Vilnius? DD |

Riga is a really nice place, but very little Soviet militaria. I'd say, that Riga is more de-Sovietified than Tallinn. I was there in March last time with a russian friend from Estonia (we went there for the militaria fair) and I was surprised to find that there were almost no Soviet things for sale in the old town nor at the general marketplace. I had to go to the junk-market where some small stuff was found. I have not been to Vilnius, but reports indicate that the availability of interesting stuff is low. |
