Hi! It's my first trip! It was a river cruise ship called Plekhanov.

I'm in the bag. I'm starting my journey.

There were very high walls and large stones.
And, of course, I climb a wall.

It was great to return to my cabin on the ship. Then I went to sleep.

I have visited St. Petersburg. I was there just for one day, but I saw a lot of things. I left home late in the evening, and I was in St. Pete early in the morning, because of the high-speed train. I had a delicious breakfast. I had a boat excursion by the Neva river and city channels. It was exciting! After dinner, I took a walk along the quay. I've made the acquaintance of a very nice bear there.
It was a great day!

Also I had climb up the long spiral staircase of St. Isaac's Cathedral. It was hard, but it's worth it. There is a great observation deck. So it's bird's eye view of the city.

Pavlovsk is not far from St. Petersburg, 19 kilometres from it. It is a very beautiful place with nice park. But the most interesting thing there is very friendly squirrels who live here. We got acquainted with one of them and even became friends. To tell the truth I was afraid of it a little. That’s why I asked to take me in arms. The squirrel came up to me and began to take nuts from hand.

The Peter and Paul Fortress is architectural and historical center of Saint-Petersburg. The Peter and Paul Fortress was founded by Peter the Great on a small island on the Neva on 27th of May 1703. Its powerful stone walls rising almost out of the water, and the cathedral spire soaring into the skies, make up a unique view opening from afar as a part of the wide Neva panorama.

Today I have visited All-Russian Exhibition Centre. Near the Main Entrance you can find the monument of space rocket called "To Explorers of Space" created in memory of the first Earth satelite. There is The Museum of Cosmonautics on the basement floor, which was opend in memory of 20th anniversary of Gagarin's space flight.
Architectural ensemble of All-Russian Exhibition Centre was opened in 1939 in former Soviet Union. It's like the whole exhibition city that spreads over 200 hectares. The area includes ponds, parks and over 380 constructions of all kinds and styles.

The Main Entrance Arch. Its powerful quadrangular columns were easily supporting the massive arch separating it into the central and side passages. The columns had bas-reliefs whose basic subject was people's labor. The arch was crowned with a sculptural group “Tractor-driver and woman-farmer” raising wheat shaft high in their hands.

Pavilion 1 (Central) was built in 1954, distinguished by severe and clear-cut architectural forms and its white walls. A strong vertical 56 meter-high tower decorated with gold-plated cereal pattern shot up in front of the entrance to the pavilion.

There are a lot of fountains there. The People's Friendship fountain is the largest at All-Russian Exhibition Centre and represents architectural and planning centre of the exhibition ensemble. The surface area framed by an octahedral bowl of red granite is 4,000 square meters. The center of the fountain is occupied by an enormous wheat sheaf in a massive bowl. It is surrounded, in the silver cascade of jets, by sculptured figures of girls in national costumes, a symbolic depiction of former union republics. They were made of bronze and plated with the thinnest gold layer. The fountain is serviced by a complex hydrotechnical device of eight powerful pumps.

A light glance is enough to understand that the poetic composition of the Stone Flower fountain with its divine beauty was evoked by Urals fairy tales by Pavel Bazhov. Bluish, greenish, and golden petals of the flower twinkle in transparent jets.

A couple of weeks ago I walked in The Main Botanical Garden of Moscow. It's the biggest botanical garden in Europe. Total area - 361 hectares. It's founded in April of 1945. The founder is academician Nicolay Tsitsin (1898-1980). The MBG contains very rich collections of plants from all over the world.
It's very pleasant and interesting to walk there. I like to breathe fresh air. The Garden is very beautiful in autumn. A lot of bright colours!

There is a small Japanese Garden inside The Main Botanical Garden. It's very nice place and unique Japanese garden in Russia. It was founded in 1987. There are a lot of stones, arranged in special way. Also you can find there the 13-level pagoda, tea-house and special lanterns. Japanese Garden is very beautiful in every season. The garden under the snow cover in winter, it's white and empty. You can contemplate the blossoming of sakura (Japanese cherry tree) in late spring. When the iris blossoms, here comes the summer.
There was an accident at the end of my walk: I fell into the ditch. Ouch, it hurts! I got a few scratches and made myself dirty.

The house and studio of Konstantin S.Melnikov in Krivoarbatsky Lane in Moscow is believed to be the peak of that renowned architect's creative work.
All over the world the building is known as Melnikov's House – it is properly seen as one of the main symbols of the 20th century architecture and a kind of an icon for the world culture in general.
Konstantin Melnikov, encouraged by his success and the widespread recognition, designed and built the House in the years of his "Golden Season", in 1927-29, and the design has become one of the most triumphant architectural experiments in the history. While working on the House Mr. Melnikov found and utilized the solutions subsequently recognized as revolutionary. The original layout, elegant spatial arrangement and daring engineering techniques brought the world-wide fame to the architect and his creation.

Mark Rothko:Into an Unknown World. The first exhibition ever staged in Moscow by one of the world’s most celebrated artists.

Building

“In my daydreams I picture the Leyland bus as a thoroughbred horse who has found his perfect spot in the stable.”  Konstantin Melnikov

The Garage is housed in a landmark of early 20th-century Russian architecture. Designed in 1926, the former Bakhmetevsky Bus Garage was the brainchild of two of the most radical thinkers in their field at the time: the architect and artist Konstantin Melnikov and the structural engineer Vladimir Shukhov.

The commission
Often associated with Constructivism, Konstantin Melnikov was in fact a fiercely independent thinker who refused to conform to any one style or discipline. Despite drifting into obscurity after the rise to prominence of Stalinist architecture in the 1930s, his work during his most creative years – the decade between 1923 and 1933 – earned him a place among the top avant-garde architects of the period.

It was during this time that Melnikov was commissioned to design a bus depot by Moscow’s Committee for Urban Planning, which had purchased a fleet of 104 British-made Leyland passenger buses and urgently needed a garage in which to house them. Drawing on progressive architectural principles and techniques, Melnikov set to work creating the ambitious structure.

The interior
At 8,500 square meters, Melnikov’s bus depot is a vast building, covering almost three times the area of the Parthenon. One of its most distinctive features is its parallelogram-shaped floor plan. This allowed for an ingenious parking system created by Melnikov called free-flow, whereby all of the fleet’s buses could enter, park and exit the depot without ever having to reverse.

The depot’s monumental proportions were offset by Vladimir Shukhov’s delicate structural design. Known for his innovative methods of analysis for structural engineering, Shukhov used only 18 narrow columns and a minimal amount of metal supports for the roof, which was modeled on that of Melnikov’s Paris pavilion.

The exterior
The four façades of the building have distinct profiles, giving each the personality of a separate structure. With its Roman numerals and fluted portals reminiscent of a Greek colonnade, the design of the main façade alludes to classical architecture: a utilitarian temple in the middle of the city.

Stroganov Moscow State Academia of Industrial and Applied Arts
The university was founded in 1825 by count Sergey Stroganov. It specialised on the applied and decorative art. In 1843 the school became state-owned. In 1860 it was renamed Stroganov School for Technical Drawing. After 1917 the school was reorganized and became a part of the State Free Art Shops, Vkhutemas and Vkhutein. Since 1930 it is Moscow Institute for the Decorative and Applied Arts, MIDIPI. In 1945, after the end of the World War II the school was restored as an applied art educational establishment. In 1996 it was renamed Stroganov Moscow State University of Industrial and Applied Arts. In 2010 it was renamed Academia.

Being found at the very beginning of the 18th century by the Russian imperator Peter the Great not far away from the northern capital – Saint-Petersburg, Peterhof was meant to become one of the greatest summer residences. All the building process has been done as quick as possible. On the august of 1723 the ceremony of the official opening of Peterhof took place, by that time the Lower Park was already planned and the Sea channel, most of the fountains were functioning and such palaces like “Monplaisir” and “Marli” has already been built.
The idea of Peter the Great from one side was to make Peterhof the best summer residence of the Europe and on the other hand to become the triumphal representation of the winning in the Southern war. All these ideas came into reality and by the 1720s the Upper Garden and Lower Park were made, the largest system of the fountains and water channels was done, most of the sculptures were standing around the park. In the 1799-1806 the plumbeous sculptures were changed into bronze statues covered by gold. Such sculptures like Martos, Prokofyev, Rashette, Shubin, Shedrin were working in the Peterhof.
In the planning system of the Peterhof the regularity and symmetry of the common structure collocates with the usage of the natural landscapes and the various picturesque views of the parks, pavilions and fountains.

  The Vasa Museum is situated at Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from Central Station and 10 minutes from the subway Karlaplan.
  The Vasa Museum collection consists of the Vasa itself and all of the objects that were found with the ship. We regard it to be a “closed” discovery in which all parts are of equal importance to an understanding of the whole.
  It took almost two years (1626-1627) to build Vasa. From dawn to dusk, carpenters, sawyers, smiths, ropelayers, sailmakers, painters, carvers, gun carriage makers and other specialists struggled to complete the navy’s great, new ship. The king, Gustav II Adolf, visited the shipyard to inspect the work.
Vasa should be splendid, a hull built of more than a thousand oak trees with 64 cannon, masts over 50 meters high and hundreds of painted and gilded sculptures.

I visited The October railway museum in Saint Petersburg. This is an open air museum, so you can look at real trains and even get inside of some cars. Every car has a detailed description in Russian and English. After visit to museum I climbed up Saint Isaac’s Cathedral colonnade (about 200 steps!) to see the panorama of beautiful city from above. I felt very hungry after that, so I decided to refresh myself at the cafe. Look, what a nice piece of cake I’ve got!
And then I visited one more museum – Museum of electric transport, which I visited a year ago and I like it a lot.

My adventure has to continue after week stay at Saint Petersburg. So I took a high-speed train “Allegro” to Helsinki, Finland, at 6.40 a.m. Upon arrival I caught in the rain and got drenched to the skin. In spite of this I visited the Sibelius Monument and Tram museum. Now I should continue my trip – my next stop is Stockholm!

What can I say? I love Stockholm!!! It’s not my first visit. I got to Stockholm from Helsinki by ferry. It’s a pity, but I’m here only for two days. So, no waste of time, I need to see a lot! I went for a walk in Gamla Stan (Old Town). Oh, I adore these small and cozy streets! My next goal is new ABBA museum, which opened its doors in May 2013. It was such a great experience!
