We had a few newcomers to Moscow this year – as well as us ‘old stagers’
As we approached central Moscow I pointed out the tank traps to a couple of the newbies – explaining that they were a memorial to how near to Moscow the German’s had advanced.
One wag pointed to the nearby IKEA – and said in a deadpan voice –
“Looks like the Swedes got further” 😀

Well, Ingvar Kamprad (IKEA founder) has been questioned for his Nazi sympathies… 😉
