In Russia, the four "great" cities: Novgorod, Luke, growth and Ustyug. The latter was not, I can not say, but the first three are named so as a consolation to the current state. Once the glory of these cities resounded to the whole Russia, and now the time has stopped here.
Today - a walk in Veliky Novgorod.

The fate of the two Great - Novgorod and Onions - decided the war. Both cities were almost completely destroyed, and after the war have not yet recovered.





Oh, and there is no snow in the picture, but on the calendar of December 30, 2011. Interestingly, the New Year was also snowless?

1. The central area of ​​the city is decorated for the New Year. Even a portal into a parallel world in the center of installed :)
The administration of the region, in the background, typical - exactly the same can be found in other regional centers. Soviet architects in this direction is clearly not able to fantasize.
It's funny that in the center of the square stands the tree, and the side - Lukic. Like leader temporarily pushed)
