Eurasia

Walking through the streets of Voronezh, I have been trying to place my impression of this Russian city between those from my recent trips to China and Italy. I think that this town is, literally, in between China and Western Europe, not only geographically, but also culturally.

Some of the street corners in the neighbourhood where I grew up look as if they were taken out of Milan, with a notable exception of many advertising signs and billboards, all in loud, conflicting colours. Right next to these neighbourhoods are new construction cites and Soviet-style architecture that are characteristic of China.

I think it would be interesting to find images that would highlight the connection with both the East and the West that exists in Russia.
