Pictures taken at the Moscow State University May 1st 2012
The day of the worker and so school was off and the University was closed.
The famous people have their busts along the alley leading up to the University. |
I took this from a bit back to give a longer view. In front are people selling trash to the tourists. |
The current MGU was built here from 1949-55 by order of Stalin. |
I thought I had better take a pic. |
