The exhibition showcased a variety of NATO weapons captured by the Russian army, including the M777 howitzer and other military equipment. It was described as a 'Disneyland' for military enthusiasts, with detailed explanations of the origins and functions of each weapon. The exhibition also highlighted the scale of military operations and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
In Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Chinese cultivation novels and Korean K-pop were notably popular. Despite the ongoing war, the cities appeared 'peaceful,' with people engaging in everyday activities like visiting cafes, bars, and libraries. The cultural scene also included a strong presence of Russian rock music, with references to Viktor Tsoi, a legendary Russian rock musician.
The Gulag History Museum provided a stark reminder of the Soviet Union's repressive past, particularly under Stalin. The museum displayed artifacts and stories of the millions of prisoners who suffered in the Gulag system. The visit evoked strong emotions, highlighting the resilience and suffering of those who endured the harsh conditions of the labor camps.
The visit to a women's gym in Chechnya was described as surprising and unique. The gym was well-equipped, and the women there were engaged in intense physical training. The atmosphere was disciplined, reflecting the cultural norms of the region. The experience provided insight into the daily lives of women in Chechnya and the emphasis on physical fitness.
Despite the ongoing war, daily life in Moscow and Saint Petersburg appeared relatively normal, with people frequenting cafes, bars, and libraries. However, the economic impact was evident in the absence of major international brands like Coca-Cola, which had withdrawn from the Russian market. Local alternatives, such as Iranian cola, were observed, indicating a shift in consumer habits due to economic sanctions.
Traveling in the North Caucasus region was described as a mix of cultural richness and tension. The region, which includes Chechnya and Dagestan, has a complex history of conflict. The visit included interactions with locals, exploring historical sites, and observing the unique blend of traditions and modernity. The experience highlighted the resilience of the people in a region marked by both beauty and strife.
