Last Saturday we visited a nearby city (nearby in Siberia means 4 hours) named Kemerovo. It was founded in 1918, so it was developed along the lines of socialism. The city has wide main streets and is very well planned, like a grid. There are also a lot of monuments to workers and other socialist heros. We pretty much drove around the city in a tour bus for an hour, getting off to take pictures of monuments, and then drove some more. Afterwards we went to a park in a nearby forest, which was located along the river Tom.
