So yeah, my girlfriend took me to visit the ВДНХ (look it up, libs) and it was honestly amazing. I got Gagarin to pat my head in the monument to the Kosmonauts!!

The monument was dedicated to all the people of the Soviet Union because they made it possible, almost cried reading that.

Comrade Lenin says hi to all Hexbears, I’ll try and meet him in person in a few days, though I heard he’s been real quiet recently.

The Azerbaijan pavillion contained, among others, a memorial to some important Azerbaijani personalities. This is a picture of Leila Mamedbekova Russian Wikipedia link, first female Azerbaijani pilot, went on to train more than 4000 pilots in her life.

Finally, got to see the Rabochii and Kolkhoznitsa statue right outside the ВДНХ, it’s huge, stunning, and my girlfriend told me today that it was designed in 1937 by a female architect called Vera Mukhina.

Thanks for the patience, I’m just stoked AF
