A nod to my growing Russian audience

One of the features on blogspot.com is the ability to monitor your readership.  I have had the good fortune of appealing to a Russian audience, and as a nod to them, I highlight a darling 7-piece Russian nesting doll currently bidding on shopgoodwill.com for $13.99, signed "Kypehkoba."

The piece de resistance of today's post is this magical image of the Red Square, dated February 1966.  This was in a batch of 35 mm slides I purchased as a group from an Arizona couple who traveled extensively in the late 1960's and early 1970's (not the couple pictured in the foreground).
