The world-famous first Moscow McDonalds (Moscow now has 18, including some drive-thrus on the outskirts).  This one is just off Tverskaya, not far from where the previous photo was taken.  Most McDonalds I visited were very big and very busy.  Prices were comparable to the USA.  But they charge one ruble extra for catsup!  And Russians don't know about syrup on pancakes.  McDonalds offers a strawberry jelly-type product for their "blinys" (pancakes)!

The awesome Victory Park, a tribute to the Russian World War II effort.  It was dedicated by President Clinton in 1995.   Besides a museum that includes the table that Stalin, FDR, and Churchill sat at in Yalta, the domed building in the center houses six incredible dioramas portraying different stages of the war, which claimed 20-30 million Russian lives.
