Okay, so this has kind of turned into its own monster. I'll try to be succinct about it and just get to the good stuff. Pictures! Lots and lots of pictures.
We next went into a kindergarten. Remember how I said one of the biggest problems residents had was finding a kindergarten school for their children? Yeah, keep that in mind.

| See? Soviet Ukraine wasn't so cut off. They even had Children of the Corn. |
 |
| The kindergarten was named after some kind of fish or something. |
Following this, we went to a Fabrik, a factory where they were "making cassette tapes," e.g., manufacturing war-type stuff for the Soviet Union.
Then we walked to the police station. It was pretty small, a couple of barred cells and maybe 10 actual cells. These were educated people, but they still lived in the Soviet Union. So public intoxication was sort of a problem.
 |
| This was the front of the station. No, really. |
 |
| Helen read this, it's an arrest card where some guy got arrested for public drinking. |
Well, I'm sick of staring at my computer, so I'll leave you here. Hopefully we're only one more post away from the end. But, next up is the amusement park!
