Huliganov's Russia #6

The first afternoon and evening in St Petersburg, featuring footage from the metro and from the Church of the Resurrection, and a chat with up and coming artist Vladimir Golendza, who came up to me while I was filming and started to give useful information about the city.

Brilliant - really nicely done.

I think your London Underground footage is far more amusing than this metro footage, though!

[alanheath]

Yes, well that is a bit of a classic - it is going to be hard to beat that one as Spielburg was telling me only this morning!

I am expecting an Oscar nomination in the best director and best musical score categories!

I particularly liked the crescendo on "they're all w*nkers" at the end of your song.

i don't know if it implies that more or less in life everything is hopeless(matea in greek ),as we are going to leave this world, but my simple ,bohemic,careless,moneyless childhood, and I bet yours,was much better than our children's generation's childhood ;what a beutiful song indeed ,maybe you should record it and post it for us !

It seems deeper than Hampstead to me.

Some places in Madrid are pretty deep but I think this is deeper!

[alanheath]

The metro in Moscow and Petersburg was built deep as under socialism this was part of their military spending.

Yep. But the stars that we reached were just starfish on the beach. Don't forget that bit.
