With one of my women's groups we toured the Soviet Cold War Tunnels which are located in the heart of the city way underground. The tour consisted of a tour of the tunnels and the old communication systems that they used. Then a movie on the Cold War from the Russian stand-point which was VERY different from what we were all taught in history class in the US.
The entrance to the tunnels from the street
Here I am with our tour guides granddaughter, Leeza at the entrance of the tunnels underground.
If you can believe it - they had old machine guns on display that you can actually pull out of the case and play with? So here I am with a machine gun.....
After the tour and the movie we all snacked on a "typical soldier snack" which consisted of beef porridge, brown bread, tea, and of course VODKA.
Here is our snack.....YUMMO?!?!I thought you would all be interested in this the link to NBC's nightly news broadcast on the Cold War Tunnels....Even Zhenya, our tour guide makes a cameo!
