Russian phrase of the day: прямые рейсы = direct flights. 🛫

What have you heard about these cities? Here are my impressions of them...

📍Makhachkala: I had never heard of this city before, had to look it up. It's the capital of the Republic of Dagestan and a 3-hour flight south from Chelyabinsk.

📍Surgut: a Siberian city that is an oil capital. I'd like to visit someday, but people who have visited say there isn't much to see.

📍Kaliningrad: a beautiful Russian city very popular with Russian tourists, probably because the process of getting there feels like traveling abroad. Kaliningrad is a small Russian province that's sitting all alone in Europe. It's neighbored by Poland and Lithuania. It also seems like a popular choice for people doing study abroad programs in Russia.

📍Norilsk: the infamous nickel mining city of the north. Above the Arctic Circle. I would totally visit this place if possible.

📍Khanty-Mansiysk: another city just down the road (4 hours, ha) from Surgut.

📍Murmansk: an arctic port city (think submarines!) near Finland. Some South African friends went here in the winter... it looked amazing.

Reading this week 📚: this very well researched

Reading this week 📚: this very well researched book about the tragedy that happened 50 years ago at Dyatlov Pass. The author, an American film maker, became fascinated by this mystery and eventually traveled to the Urals to find out more. I'm about halfway through the book so far. 📖 It's a story that is super sad, super fascinating, and told without sensationalism.

Have you heard of this book before? What are you reading right now?

Russian word of the day (but probably not actually from Russian): рубаи = ruba'i, a form of Persian poetry. It's also the name of one of my favorite restaurants in Kazan. #learningrussian #russianrestaurant

Russian phrase of the day (from pics 3 & 4): победа коммунизма неизбежна = the victory of communism is inevitable.

I'm surprised at how much Soviet art remains in Kazan. At first, I didn't notice any. Then @kubelekler sent me some articles on the subject, and now I seem to see Soviet art everywhere. Lots more coming soon!
