hi,
I am going to Moscow tommorow.
I will stay there with my family 25-30 August.
Some weather forecast like that of BBC says it will be fine there throughout this period but others like yahoo says it will be rainy throughout.
Under Brejinev it was a quiet city.
Under Gorbachyov and Elitsin it was the emergency period.
Now let's see what under Putin.

In September 1862, in Namamugi village near Yokohama, the procession of the daimyo of the Satsuma domain, SHIMAZU Hisamitsu, was moving from Edo(now called Tokyo) to Kyoto.
Unbelievably rude to them, four British people, three men and one woman, crossed the road on horseback in front of them.
One killed and two seriously injured, woman unharmed.
In return, Satsuma was seriously bombed by the British navy. Anglo-Satsuma War.
Interestingly, human losses were more serious on the european side.
5 killed in Satsuma and 13 killed among the British including the Commander of the flagship.
Among those samurais who attacked three men in Namamugi village, was an ancestor of mine.
