Fountain with Golden Statues
Here is one more picture of the beautiful fountain "Friendship of Nations" which I took almost 1 year ago. The fountain is one of the main attractions at the All-Russian Exhibition Center (VVTs). The Exhibition was founded at 1939 as agricultural exhibition of Soviet Union. During the years of Great Patriotic War (1941-1945) this exhibition was closed, and was only reopened in 1954 after death of Stalin (1953). The Fountain has gilded statues of maidens in the national costumes of the sixteen Soviet republics demurely encircle a golden wheat sheaf. In 2006 it has been renovated, so that you can see that the statues are shining gold as like recently made.

Arthur was a joy and made our brief trip to Moscow an amazing experience. He was on time, courteous, thoughtful and had our best interest and needs in mind at all times. We truly had a sense of Moscow and its history from the perspective of someone that obviously loves his city and wanted to let others know of it. Favorite times: Moscow at night, Moscow Kremlin, and the metra tour; these were definite don't miss events with Arthurs's guidance and picture taking!!!!
