SUNDAY -
Novodevichy cemetary is the most famous in Russia, second only to the Kremlin wall burials. Suzie took Jeri and I to visit this graveyard today where dignitaries, cosmonauts, performers and heros of Russia are buried.
Most stones here are works of art, worthy of being museum pieces, and many are created in a strong modernist style. The whole time we were there, I kept thinking, "Dude... that would be a cool tombstone to have... oh wait! That one! .... no, that one!" It was my shopping instinct kicking in mixed with my natural morbid fascinations.
Yeltsin's grave, temporary location until they select a spot and a monument.
