Onto day 3 of Russia, thanks for all your comments so far, I'm so glad you're all enjoying this series! More gorgeous golds and intricate mosaic religious scenes, I love all the onion domes...
And here's something from Bronwyn that you probably wouldn't guess about Russia, "Russians love their pets, and in Moscow there are pet supermarkets with fashion ranges for animals - everything from fur-trimmed coats to sequinned dresses with matching accessories. And when Russians visit their dachas without their pets they'll often bring back a birch twig as a 'souvenir'.But at the same time, it's common to see people selling boxes full of kittens or puppies on the side of the road, baby bears performing tricks for tourists and stray dogs roaming in packs (or riding the metro!)."
This is the kind of clothing I always imagined one would see in Russia, embroidered kaftan style dresses using folk inspiration, I think I may be wrong but I still love them!
