Spent the day in central Moscow to see what could been seen of the parades and everything. Didn't see anything of the Red Square but after the parade took place there were crowds of demonstrators/protestors or something along those line, a number of them with Communist flags, which face it is what you'd come to expect to see in Russia, if not really these days, but it was a welcome sight.

I ended up hearing some rare English voices while waiting at the Kremlin and it turns out they were working for Astra Zeneca. So they introduced me to the Moscow Metro and we went to a park on the outskirts of town where ordinary Moscovites were celebrating the day. All in all in turned out pretty good.

There seems to be loads to see here, which is just as well as I'm here until the 18th, so more posts soon!
