weekly photo #44: Not A Step August 17, 2007
Posted by ocmpoma in : other , trackback
This week’s photo is one of only two that I have from Almaty, where I worked at the embassy for a month or so. It’s from a park nearby, where I walked pretty much every afternoon. If you can’t guess from the flame and wonderfully Soviet sculpture, it’s a memorial from the Great Patriotic War (known here in the West as double-ya double-ya eye eye).The Russian quote (I can’t make out or recall the source) reads:
Велика РоÑÑиÑ, а отÑтупать некуда позади МоÑква!
(Russia is great, and will not give any ground beyond Moscow!)
[translation mine]
Hence the title, “Not A Step”.
