This photo was taken in Ufa, capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. |
As is the case with Tatarstan, Bashkortostan is a republic within the Russian Federation. |
Park in Ufa, summer of 2005. Bashkortostan is known as the "Multi-national republic." Andreas Kappeler would be proud. |
Ufa is a very green, peaceful and clean city. I enjoyed my stay there very much. |
On the road back to Kazan. It's a 22-hour trainride, but only 14 hours by bus. |
Back in Kazan on a rainy August day. This is a building of Kazan State University. |
