I was there for three monts, sept-dic '86, attending a training course hosted by Zaporozthal Iron Works. Viewing the pictures takes me to that time, when I had a good time. Many things have changed since then... I used to walk along the Dnieper bend, or have a cup of tea at the Intourist hotel (my home at that time), walking along Lenin Prospect with Marina, a russian girl I met... Oh! good memories...

You have posted a photo of the wall and to insinuate that the wall sways is ridiculous .The blog seems to be written by someone whose eyes only see negative and is trying to sensationalize a trip.Do a search on the internet for photos of Zaporozhye and you will see a different city to the one described here .

Probably "educated" by some government school. Cowboys, like his teachers, were every manner of human. Some good and some evil. No such thing as "our" culture. I have my culture and you have yours. My culture wants nothing to do with your culture that leaves you so uneducated. Glorify the Cossacks for their fight to be free from slavery and villify them for any theivery or murder. And try and expose your self to history from both sides before you sit in judgement. Pity poor Alex. Probably “educated” by some government school.

They were not nice. Same goes for the cowboys too ;) Cossacks, I think, are overly glorified in our modern culture. They were not nice. Same goes for the cowboys too ;)

I'm going to do a Europe trip and hopefully will be able to make a stop there. Love the pictures, a photo gallery would be awesome. Great series of posts.
