Those were great pics. Thanks!
Those NY Times articles are really interesting to read, but many times very inaccurate. It's fascinating to see the quality of the information coming out of Russia during many of these events.
Also, does anyone know what happened to Stolypin's dacha after the assassination attempt? Was it taken down, or repaired? Is it still there? I'm going to be spending several months in St. Petersburg soon, and I'll have more than enough time to see all sorts of sights! This would definitely be one of them.
