Lenin's Body, Space Dogs, and Saint Petersburg. By Lowell Poisson (MFA 2016). Who is the poor sap that has to clean him? Is that actually his body? Why is he so pink? What does this accomplish for anyone? Laika and Strelka the Soviet space dogs, stuffed and on permanent display.

Later I greeted Saint Petersburg with a proper sunrise! Monday, August 10, 2015.
