5/8/2019. Next to the St. Basil’s Cathedral looms the Kremlin, the Russian seat of power. I walked around the compound within the walls. Beautiful churches with those exaggerated golden and colorful domes stood on the same ground local and world politics were being played out. I was tempted to ask the security guards where Putin’s office was. I resisted; curiosity might just kill a cat.
At the end of the day, I sat at an intersection, still unable to take my eyes off this mythic center of power, pondering the politics of religion and the religion of politics, enjoying my most delicious seafood pizza.
5/8/2019 – 在圣巴西勒教堂旁就是权力中心克林姆林宫。 我有机会在围墙内四周溜达。这里意外的蹲着几座历史大教堂。虽看了不少教堂,还是百看不厌,闪耀的金色圆顶,大大的教堂,颜色夸张但又搭配得体,不得不每次另眼相看,换角度欣赏。见到保安,有冲动想问普京办公室在哪 – 这可能是危险的好奇。
我忙了整天,我坐在十字路观望克林姆林宫,吃最棒的海鲜比萨,我想,有权势的在墙内得势得世,在墙外的安分清闲就好。
