Red October Chocolate Factory

For one of my women's groups (AWO) I am the Interest Group Leader for a group called GO MOSCOW - basically what we do is tour different things around Moscow. For my first tour last Friday, I arranged for the women to tour the Red October Chocolate Factory. The tour was 700 rubles per person - which included a tour of the history museum, chocolate factory, tea party, chocolate souvenirs, and an English speaking tour guide! I had 16 women sign up for the tour and it was a lot of fun!

Is this machine ancient or what?!
This machine is mixing sugar to make a hard caramel candy.

This is again mixing the same mixture.
