The largest trompe l'oeil tarp I saw in Moscow
By Jack Brummet, Moscow Travel Editor
While I was in Moscow, I wrote about all the buildings under construction covered with those trompe l'oeil tarps. Like this one, hung on a building in the neighborhood where I stayed:
Here are two photos I took at The Kremlin, one side under construction, and one still open to the public. . .

Starman? Cosmonaut? A relief sculpture in the Moscow Metro
By Jack Brummet, Moscow Travel Editor
I don't know who created this bronze relief sculpture, or when it was created, but I love it. It is about eight feet tall, on the wall of a Metro Station in Moscow. I can't remember which station I was in when I took this photograph, but I *think* it was Shabolovskaya station.

Dostoyevskaya Station and its controversial christening.
By Jack Brummet, Moscow Travel Editor
This is a photo of a mosaic of Fyodor Dostoevsky in the new subway station named for him (Dostoevskaya Metro Station). Unlike the old stations, with amazing architecture and artwork everywhere, marble floors and walls, and statues in every corner, the new stations are bleak and utilitarian (after the breakup of the Soviet Union, money was in very short supply). But they decided to spend some Rubles on this one. And it did
n't work out so well. In the end, people were so concerned about the vibe in the new metro station that the authorities delayed the opening. Critics say Moscovites should steer clear of the station. It is gloomy and the scenes from his books (the Crime and Punishment mosaic shows Raskolnikov holding an axe over the head of his landlady) are depressing. If you're going to make murals based on his books, what choice do you have?
Psychologists believe that the station and art will attract people who want to throw themselves under a train. "The deliberate dramatism will create a certain negative atmosphere and attract people with an unnatural psyche," a psychiatrist wrote in one paper. The artist responsible for the murals said "What did you want, scenes of dancing? Dostoevsky does not have them."
The opened the station in 2010 (it took 20 years to finish due to finance problems). They had to. The next station up the line couldn't be reached except by going through Dos. station. I couldn't find any reports of any suicides or mayhem happening since the opening.

I can't think of many/any? buildings in America dedicated to native writers. Well, maybe except Jack London Square in Oakland.

Interactive video at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport
By Jack Brummet, Russia Travel Editor
This photo is from Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow. I only had a minute, but wanted to explore this interactive exhibit more. Of course, I couldn't read the instructions or details about this, but you stand on two footprint silhouettes in front of a giant monitor. After a minute, four furry creatures begin cavorting around you on screen. I only stayed for a few seconds, and don't know how far this goes. But I felt like we would be seeing a lot more of these sorts of interactive displays in the future.
I guess, eventually, it could show just how you would look in that suit or dress you were looking at, or show you in your fab new kitchen or on the deck of your new boat. Better yet, it will put you into a Zelig world, with you as the star of any number of scenes, imagined and historical. This was done better than what I've seen done online with faces on on the Wii or Kinect. This is still in its infancy, I'm sure, but it has a lot of interesting possibilities.

Ring my bell: The Tsar Bell/Царь–колокол (and one more Russian "biggest ever)"
By Jack Brummet, Kremlin Editor
The Tsar/Czar's Bell is 20 feet tall and sits on a little stone pedestal on the Kremlin grounds. It was commissioned by Peter the Great's niece, Empress Anna Ivanovna. It was broken while they casted the bronze, and has never been rung. It weighs nearly 200 tons. That broken chunk you see resting on it weights eleven tons itself.
The bell was cracked when there was a fire with the superstructure (which was wooden) while it was being tempered and decorated. After a year or so of cooling, the fire broke out in 1737. The guards poured water onto the bell and structure in order to save it. The water caused 11 cracks in the bell, and the chink you see broke off.
For some period of time, the bell actually served as a chapel; you walked in through the doorway created by the cracked section. And it has sat in the same spot on the Kremlin grounds for 260 years. Naturally, like with their world's largest cannon, it's the biggest and baddest ever. But is it a bell if it is still unrung?

"Heil honey, I'm home!"--a twisted TV pilot
By Jack Brummet, SitCom Editor
[Thanks to Jeff Clinton for passing this along]
Hitler stars in a very strange and twisted TV pilot from 1990. Sort of "holocaust meets the Honeymooners." It's hardly a wonder this show did not get past its pilot episode.
"The setup is both simple and totally insane. Adolf Hitler stands in for Ralph Kramden, with his trusty wife Eva Braun going bam-zoom right to Berlin. His day-to-day consists of being Chancellor of Germany's National Socialist party and hiding his plans for global domination from the Allied forces. Across the hall, two Jewish tenants, Arny and Rosa Goldenstein, Hitler’s the nosy, overbearing neighbors, make the Führer’s life a living hell." (From Splitsider.com).

Shukhov Tower (Шуховская башня) in Moscow
By Jack Brummet, Moscow Travel Editor
Just down the block from our office in Moscow is the Shukhov Tower (Шуховская башня), an awesome broadcast tower in Moscow designed by Vladimir Shukhov. It's 525 feet tall (Seattle's Space Needle is 605 feet) and seems especially big because there are no tall buildings in the vicinity. It was built from 1920–1922, during the Russian Civil War. The tower sections are "hyperbolic steel gridshell of single-cavity hyperboloids of rotation made of straight beams, the ends of which rest against circular foundations." [tech details via Wikipedia]
It's funny -- my Russian friend just kind of shrugged it off when I first saw it and raved about how cool it was. When I looked it up, I found that it is old and historical, and even endangered. The tower is visible, but not accessible to tourists.
Shukhov Tower is under threat of demolition, and is number one on UNESCO's "Endangered Buildings" list [UNESCO is also the keeper of the great World Heritage sites list]. There is now an international campaign underway to save it.

Two members of Pussy Riot sent to brutal Russian prisons
By Mona Goldwater, Human Rights Editor
Jack sent this article from this morning's Moscow Times (he shot it with his camera from the actual paper). One member of PR has been freed, and the other two sent off to the Gulag.
Maria Alyokhina, 24, will serve the rest of her two-year term at a women's prison camp in Perm, Siberia--as you know, a region notorious for hosting some of the Soviet Union's most brutal prison camps.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, has been sent to Mordovia, a region that also hosts a high number of prisons, not as notorious, but it sounds just as horrific.

Is Gloria Allred about to unleash an October Surprise?
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor
Thanks to ATIT tipster Jeff Clinton for this news/rumor. Every four years in October, there are rumors that an October Surprise is about to drop into the Presidential election. Sometimes they actually happen; usually they don't. I think we'll know in the next couple of days, but it seems pretty late in the game for a surprise. If someone could pull it off, it just might be Ms.Gloria Allred. The Daily Mail speculates on the possible surprise here.

The Czar's Cannon in The Kremlin
By Jack Brummet, Russian Travel Editor
The Czar's cannon, a 40 ton machine, was mostly, they say, created to spook the enemy. No one knows for sure, but it was probably fired once (a 1980 study found traces of gunpowder). It was build in the 16th century of 100% brass and is over 17 feet long. The cannon could not actually shoot the one ton balls sitting in front. They were also created to spook the enemy. The cannon probably shot a load of smaller balls. Compared to cannons I've seen in the U.S. and other countries, it is elaborately decorated, including an elaborate equestrian carving of a Czar. Our guide said that Napoleon Bonaparte considered taking the cannon back to France as swag after the French invasion of Russia.

Moscow: The soldier's dog and his lucky nose
By Jack Brummet, Russian Travel Editor
In the Revolution Square subway station (it is beneath the square), there are 76 bronze sculptures lining a central hallway. One of these sculptures is either titled "border guard with a dog" or "solder with dog." It has to be the most popular statue of the Moscow metro. Muscovites believe that rubbing the dog's nose brings luck. As you can see, the nose is polished to a fine shine by the hands of people passing by. Of course, I rubbed his nose too. It must have worked. Everything went well today. I remember there is a statue of John Harvard in Harvard Square where I think you rub his foot for good luck.

George McGovern 1912-2012, an American and Democratic Party hero
By Jack Brummet, Democratic Party Editor
Senator George McGovern exemplified everything that is decent about public service. He was a vehement peace candidate when he ran for President, and he was also a war hero in World War II, piloting a bomber in the European Theater. He performed various good works throughout his life, starting--I think--in a position dealing with hunger in America under JFK. He went on to serve in Congress and The Senate. In 1972 he challenged President Nixon and was slaughtered by the biggest election landslide in history. The Republicans stopped at nothing to sling mud and paint him as a Red and said he was the candidate of "Abortion-Amnesty-Appeasement." As it turned out, Richard Nixon left office in disgrace, and in such disgrace that we are in many ways still dealing with the fallout. After he left office, he worked tirelessly on hunger issues, and published a few books.
He drew a lot of people of my generation into politics and led us to believe that if you got involved you actually could make a difference. I remember going down to Oregon and doorbelling for him in 1972. I was eighteen. Eighteen year olds had just gotten the vote and we really did believe he could change the world. We slept on the floor in a church basement for four days and pestered voters in the greater Portland area. This is how I got wired into politics and it's never really left my system. I even ran for city council that year, I was so inspired.
Most importantly, George McGovern showed us that you could be a decent, loving, caring person and still run for office. I'd still like to think it's true. If you would like to read a book about what a caring and thoughtful man was like in the mire and muck of a hard-fought political campaign, track down a copy of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail '72. Rest in peace, Senator.

The Salt Lake City Tribune's stunning endorsement of President Barack Obama
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Editor
Is this a mindf***er of all mindf***ers, or what? On October 19th, The Salt Lake City Tribune came out and endorsed Barack Obama for President. Why? They lead into their endorsement with a couple of paragraphs praising his earl good works, in particular for the state of Utah.
They go on to praise The President's domestic and foreign agendas, lavishing praise on his foreign accomplishments, as well as his shepherding of stimulus money and the courage it took, as well as his masterpiece, The Affordable Care Act (and the political capital he expended to make it the law of the land).
The Tribune damns Romney's promises and statements as both pandering, and unrealistic. The President would do well to study this editorial and quote from it liberally in next week's debate. Hats off to the Tribune for their honest and courageous editorial. Read the entire piece here.
The editorial is a worthwhile read because this is a 'paper from a state inclined to support Mitt Romney both because of his religion and conservatism, and his stewardship of their beloved Olympic Games. And now, nearly two weeks before the election, The President should quote liberally from the Tribune in his debate with the Ex-Governor next week.

"Obama has earned another term"
Is this a mindf***er of all mindf***ers, or what? On October 19th, The Salt Lake City Tribune came out and endorsed Barack Obama for President. Why? They lead into their endorsement with a couple of paragraphs praising his earl good works, in particular for the state of Utah.
"The Republican nominee’s political and religious pedigrees, his adeptly bipartisan governorship of a Democratic state, and his head for business and the bottom line all inspire admiration and hope in our largely Mormon, Republican, business-friendly state."And, then, they get down to business:
"In short, this is the Mitt Romney we knew, or thought we knew, as one of us."
"Sadly, it is not the only Romney, as his campaign for the White House has made abundantly clear, first in his servile courtship of the tea party in order to win the nomination, and now as the party’s shape-shifting nominee. From his embrace of the party’s radical right wing, to subsequent portrayals of himself as a moderate champion of the middle class, Romney has raised the most frequently asked question of the campaign: "Who is this guy, really, and what in the world does he truly believe?"
They go on to praise The President's domestic and foreign agendas, lavishing praise on his foreign accomplishments, as well as his shepherding of stimulus money and the courage it took, as well as his masterpiece, The Affordable Care Act (and the political capital he expended to make it the law of the land).
