Tanya: ‘Good Morning Moscow!’
Moscow: Russians have a reputation for being gloomy and unfriendly, so I could not help notice Tanya greeting pedestrians exiting the metro with a big smile and a loud 'good morning!' as she handed out flyers to earn some money during the summer. Tanya says she would like to become an actress or a policewoman....perhaps she can kill two birds with one stone and land a job as a policewoman in a Moscow TV series some day.
Slava: Russia Patriot
St Petersburg: Slava was walking around St Petersburg, two friends at his side, carrying a large Russian flag on 'Russia Day' in June. Slava said he bought the flag in April, that the Crimean events made him more politically conscious and that he is now pondering a military career.
Menfor: Sporting St. Petersburg’s Coolest Outfit
ST. PETERSBURG: I saw this guy standing along the canal in St. Petersburg during a beautiful summer sunset.
Hands down, he had the most original outfit I came across during my three days in Russia's imperial capital. Menfor - as he calls himself - is a former biker and factory machinist who now makes various 'trinkets' such as necklaces, including ones that 'protect you' from harm.
The accessories he was wearing on his outfit were incredibly varied - from a US-styled sheriff's hat and Harley Davidson belt, to Russian icons, hard-rock memorabilia and communist buttons.
To top it off, he has a flower pinned to his leather coat.
Yaroslavl: St. Petersburg Fashionista
St. Petersburg: Yaroslavl was among the most creatively dressed people I came across in St Pete this week, combining 'street basketball' style with something akin to '1970s NYC retro.' I wasnt surprised to hear he is in the music industry and likes funk.
Russian Girls Laughing Amid Colorful Day
These two girls were headed in the direction of the Moscow colorfest celebration....and by the looks of their clothing, this was their second visit that day. The event attracted thousands of people...and not only young ones.
