Walking around Moscow at night was very fun as we have not been around much when it is late. Sparrow Hills was pretty active and the view of the entire city was very nice, although the Russians kept telling us how much of a shame it was that the old Olympic stadium was not lit up as it is being renovated. I also learned some history of that area and more about Napoleon's invasion of Moscow. France seems to play a major role in Russia's culture, with a slew of words being integrated into the language and France's military history being very prominent in Russia's own history. It seems odd to me that something as destructive as Napoleon's invasion left such a strong impression on Russia in a positive way whereas Germany's invasion has done nothing of the sort.
