'Out with the gang'. Kiev, Dec 2013

The favourite chant of pro-EU protesters in Kiev's 

Independence Square was 'Out with the gang'. The riot police 

had withdrawn from the square the night before and this guy 
took the chance to stake his ground. Fascinating times.

Cold peace. Moscow, Nov 2013

Everybody should see Red Square once. It's an imposing space that made me think of spy novels. This is the Okhotny Ryad metro
station, with the State Historical Museum behind. 
It was -7 degrees.
