Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 One big surprise I got was just outside Red Square, Museum of the War of 1812. you can find a few such museums here in the US, but in Moscow? Yes it was about the defeat of Napoleon’s Grande Armée. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Huckleberry Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Shortly after the Iron Curtain came down, I had opportunities to put on civvies and tromp around the cities in a few former WTO countries. One thing I always liked to do was find the museum -- major cities always have some sort of museum and they often shed some insights into what is noteworthy to that area. Countries that had as much government control as the eastern European countries were especially interesting because of the contrast in their perspectives with those of western Europe.
