Walking tours
#tretyakovgallery

After this tour of the Tretyakov Gallery we got familiar with all major turning points of the country’s history.
Ivan the Terrible made us shudder under his piercing sight;

Count Menshikov complained on his living in a simple log house after being once the richest man in the country;
Peter shown how to be the worst dad in the world;

serf peasants told about their needs, beliefs and worries;
young socialists were persuading us in a need of revolution…

Notes on Russian History
#Russiatoday

Our Paid Activities partner, Patriarchy Dom, did their first session on “Understanding Russia”, on the subject of the "Fall of Communism in the Soviet Union".

Lena, a certified historian and guide, took the group to important sites like the White House and memorial places as she shared her stories on this history. It was a very much-appreciated morning of learning and meeting fellow IWC members at the same time!
