Day 3

First thing today was the Contemporary History Museum, which from as far as Alexander II's reign to Late-Stalin USSR. Though tired, we found the exhibits very interesting, especially due to the commentary from Natasha - who was particularly useful due to all there being no English translation for any documents.

Next was the Art museum, where we admired paintings and sculptures from the 20th century.

It was fascinating to see the development of the Supremecist and Contructionist styles from Cubism and similar abstract movements. My personal favourite was 'phenomena', which was so massive, detailed and supernatural.

Final activity for the day was the much-anticipated Ice Hockey! 

It was incredible, the atmosphere was brilliant and the plays were awesome. Right behind us were a group of Russian Soldiers chanting which only made things more heated! Unfortunately, there were only two proper fights, and the team that most of us were supporting, CSKA, lost.

However, it was still an amazing experience and I'll be looking out keenly for any Ice Hockey matches closer to home!

After dinner we've had some free time to relax. Awesome day, enjoyed by all! See you soon...
