Well, I guess everybody has to have a hobby. Too bad I don't understand Russian. Nice pics though. I wonder if he took them?

Why not? I'm sure we have some Russian speakers on TPF. I had 16 hours of Russian in college.

Or you can go here as mentioned in the comments.

That was interesting to me, both because of my interest in photography and because of my interest in Russia. When I was a boy, I wanted to smuggle Bibles into Russia. I took a few Russian languages classes in high school and college, and a Russian culture and history class in college.

That Dmitry Medvedev seems like a really nice man. I like him.

Pointing a telescope at an exchange student's dorm window doesn't count as "taking a foreign language."
