Today is actually considered a holiday in Russia, The Day of Knowledge.
It is the day colleges, universities, and other schools open for the year. The kids are dressed in their best clothes, carrying flowers and gifts for thir teacher---it's pretty damn adorable. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any pictures of my own, since most parents are surprisingly uncool with foreign strangers snapping candid photos of their children going to school. Go figure.
But I do have a video that I didn't make for you. Although whether this was taken by kidnappers posing as a suspiciously teamed British/American news crew, I can't say for sure.
Enjoy. And to all the people in my life going back to achool, or going back to work in a school (Anna, Jay, my Mum and loverly ladies in the River East offices...ME!) Welcome Back!
