March into the history of Moscow



Statue of Marshal Georgy Zhukov is one of the historical site attractions at Red Square, Moscow. If you have noticed in this photo, the figure of Georgy is not perfectly proportional that his legs are way too short for his body, making the horse he's riding on look more heroic and gigantic.
This statue has been getting a lot of criticism. A lot of artists and tour guides make fun of it when they pass by it.
Georgy Zhukov was the most decorated general in the Soviet history.



Located in the heart of the Kremlin Wall, this war memorial is dedicated to the Soviet soldiers killed during the Great Patriotic War (World War II) between 1941 and 1945.
It was a rainy day. I watched the changing of guards at the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers" and the eternal frame at the foot of the Kremlin Wall. The eternal flame burnt as a symbol to commemorate soldiers who perished during the War.
