Still Alive. by Medeine Tribinevicius on November 1st, 2009

I’m still alive. After a busy four days in Moscow, during which time I visited the Lenin, the Gulag Museum, the Contemporary Russian History Museum, Red Square, the Cold War Museum and other fine attractions, I decided that the best costume for me for Halloween was “passenger on small plane headed to Perm”. It was such a successful costume, that here I am in cold, snowy Perm. It’s not Siberia yet, still technically in Europe but in the foothills of the Ural mountains. Though the Urals are really, really small mountains. Old mountains, but small. I’m glad it’s snowy, however. It’ll add that much more ambiance to Perm-36 Gulag museum which is where I’m headed on Tuesday. Perm-36 is a reconstructed gulag camp/museum. Should be fun.
