   Looks like a magnificent cemetery. It is interesting the detail to which is paid to places like these. I think cemeteries speak volumes about the societies that have created them. I think in many cases they reflect the social order and structure of the populations/communities in which they have been developed. I could probably spend days in a place like this, given the time (although it would probably take me that much time to translate just one stone!).

   Interesting collection, I have not seen Yetsin’s grave… oh lady with the knife, funny:) not all people were really committed to the party but they had to live their lives somehow… one words for streets and other words inside their kitchens principle… keep your thoughts private… not a bad principle actually:)

   would be great to have a separate graveyard for clowns only – I wonder what it would look like, could be a very funny looking one…
   one more thing – great point about "different heroes"… it is true…
   @nhr – great translation… i was barely able to see clearly all those words on the grave… you speak Russian also?
