Early yesterday morning someone tried to blow up the famous statue of Lenin in front of Finland Station. I walked past it this morning but didn't see the damage. Apparently they put explosives inside and blew his bottom off! I will try to get photos tonight!
Apart from that all seems calm! Well, if you don't count the tutus. Unfortunately, my hopes of them disappearing yesterday did not come to fruition and the little darlings are still running around (maybe not for much longer!) I would complain at reception but it is hard to maintain umbrage when you can't really speak the language!
The weather has improved and it is very Spring like today. There is still lot of ice in the Neva but it is much warmer and the sun is shining. I plan to go to Vladimirskii cathedral today and perhaps Dostoevskii's house. I haven't been to either before but I am finding that my range is getting wider as I now use the metro!
