The victory day! Time to get into the best partyclothes and head off to Smolenskij Boulevard for further walks up to the Red Square and watch Ivan celebrate the victory in The Great War Of The Fatherland.
Howdy ho, where to go? Well, down into the subway is a good start.
All right, Moscow is not a very small town, and since everything, really eve-ry-thing is closed one just have to walk.
And walk…
Ok, that was it.
Apparently the biggest celebrations were when we were stil laying in our beds in our hangover-anxiety at the hostel. What was left was all the side-scenes and tons of old men with massive amounts of medals that were being dragged around by their grandchildren. Once again had our drinking been prioritised over the wings of history.
What the f**K, where are we and where are we going now???
All of a sudden we find ourselves in the heart of the Russian political power. The White house – Duma. Cool!
 

Here in front of the museum of history and the statue of Marshall Georgij Zjukov “The man who won The second world war”.
If we had dressed up like this during the World championships in 1986 we had been arrested, been beaten up severely by the KGB and then been thrown out of the “Labour paradise”.
Had we done the same thing during the championships in 1957, we had been arrested by the NKVD, taken into some remote forest and been shot.

Times are changing…

That way… there is something cool to see over there. Maybe.
Walk, walk,walk…
What is this? Back at the café it is time to sum up yet another crappy day. What shall be done and why? Nilses and Patrik wanted to see military aircrafts and Gabbe was to do… other stuff.
Nilses on the way to Mytischi arena
Almost there…
Actually quite cool. Outside the arena they had placed lots of old military aircrafts that you could see inside by just bribing the guards with $$$. Here is Nilses by a GIGANTIC Mikojan-24 helicopter.
The same deathbringer from another angle.
Ilyushin Il-28
Patrik inside the Mi-24.
Nilses by an Ilyushin-28 light bomber.
Mikojan-8, MI-8 Mikojan-24, MI-24 Hind

If you are up to no good and see this in the air you will definitely know that this is the last thing you will ever see in life. (the left Mi-24 “Hind” we mean.
The modified Mikojan-8 to the right will only kill you by laughter since it is so butt-ugly.)
