I visited Moscow in 2010, a very impressive city. I saw Red Square and Mathias Rust must have been a great pilot to land here

Yes, I remember that. I was a little girl, and it was in the news. To land the plane on the Red Square.... it was something! I am from Moscow and... Red Square is not that big. Plus, lots of historical buildings all around: GUM, Kremlin and KGB...
