Before you even enter the museum of arms, and pay your admission, you’re confronted with a wide assortment of tracked and wheeled armored vehicles. Some are brand new and others date back to WWI.

@MsTexasG So it looks like President Trump intends to end the Ukraine war in ten days. It will likely end in a flash. One that he won’t be able to take credit for because the moment he threatens Russia with his nuclear submarines. It’s Washington DC that will disappear in a flash. That radioactive dust circling the earth will be US!
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy six years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
I am decorating my living room with items that are truly representative of the Middle East.
I have a samovar from Tula, Russia. I bought it at a shop that specialized in samovar and was located in the Kremlin. My granddaughter helped me pick it out.
I have two Russian tea glasses with comemeritive holders.
I don’t smoke but I have a hookah. It is very decorative in bright red.
I have a porcelain fruit dish on a pedestal. It is a red and gold pattern.
I have a five branch candle stick for the center of the dining table. It’s useful when the electricity is not available.
I have two floor lamps. One is of Morocco design.
A print of a painting of a Venisen canal scene hangs over the sofa which is classical Georgian.
Three nesting tables and a coffee table and a large vase full of roses.
