• To Russia with Love: Pulkovo Observatory, Saint Petersburg

  
  Simply a must! The Pulkovo Obesrvatory has always been among my top favorite places in Saint Petersburg. I can visit it over and over again. After the madness of the big city, it is literarily a breath of fresh air.

• Zenit E: Cut-Price Cold War Classic

  
  The Zenit E is a 1960s survivor; short on features, but solid and tough in a way only Russian cameras can be. Cheap, cheerful, and made in the millions, it's an often-overlooked camera deserving a re-appraisal. Quantity has a quality of its own, after all.

• 1929 Silent Film of Soviet Cities

  
  "Man with a Movie Camera" is an experimental, silent documentary film. It's experimental in that its director, Dziga Vertov, uses almost all the cinematic techniques in the book, ranging from double exposure to footage played backwards! It's a documentary as it shows urban life in various Soviet cities, and contains no actors! What a historical gem!

• Baikove Cemetary: Kiev's Necropolis

  
  Perhaps it's a bit strange to visit a cemetery on a holiday, but after two days of busy Kiev, a day trip to Chernobyl and Pripyat, and lots of enthusiastic people who kept offering us vodka, s0y and I needed some silence. And this monumental cemetery gave us exactly what we needed, and more.

• Lubitel 166B: My Solid Soviet Companion

  
  Ever since bought, the Lubitel 166B has been a reliable and serious friend and companion. I consider it the Anti-Holga, or even the Anti-Diana -- not in a bad way of course. But it's just everything those cameras are not -- a serious camera for people who like to have full control of their shots.

• Budapest – the City that Stole My Heart on a Red, White and Green Weekend

  
  A famous Brazilian composer, Chico Buarque, wrote that Budapest is yellow. When I was there, I found a grey sky being crushed by three colors: red, white, and green. The Hungarian flag was everywhere: a reminder of how strong people are when they fight together.
