Off The Beaten Path: Lenin's Monument
  • Tip Rating:
  • Like in every Russian city or town you may see a Lenin's monument (may be several or even many of them!). In Sergyiev Posad this monument is situated at the square in front of the Trinity Lavra to the right hand of the entrance (200 m) and to the left hand of the St Sergius monument (50 m).

    There are a lot of streets in Sergyiev Posad which kept their names since soviet times: Karl Marx street, Karl Libhneht street, Proletarskaya, Sovetsakaya square and even Rabochij Tupik (Worker's deadlock) ha-ha!

    You may watch my high resolution photo of the Lenin’s Monument on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 56º 18' 41.32" N 38º 8' 1.11" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Lenin’s Monument .

    Off The Beaten Path: Wooden Church

    Off The Beaten Path: Monastery (no name)
  • Tip Rating:
  • To the west side of the monastery’s wall you will find red bricks buildings of the monastery with red bricks walls. It’s under reconstruction now but even in its today view it looks rather impressive. I can imagine how it will be look like after the reconstruction comes to its end!

     Oh Sergey, this is your best page in my opinion!! Your choice of music is exceptional and I am sitting here in tears because it is so deep, so good! And I like Moscow baroque more than "our" baroque.

     Really looking forward to seeing Segiyev Posad for myself in October this year. Your photos are a great introduction. Working my way through the videos slowly - love the music. leyle
