Peter the Great et al
... were respectful of the art and other stuff the Czar had and preserved it. The Nazi's on the other hand destroyed it. -There are no Russian made cars left in Russia. Everyone wants foreign cars. -The workers lived outside the city but were moved into the homes of the nobility after the revolution. They had one family to a room and shared one bathroom and a large kitchen. Apparently they all got along just fine, even though they didn't know each other when ...
