Wherever you turn in St. Pete there are soldiers. Not angry-looking with guns and stuff, but in fancy uniforms working as guards for, for example, palaces and government houses. There are many types of them. Some are young, like this fellow on the picture, giving a helping hand to an old lady, how sweet and gulligt! Some are looking like kids, wearing navy uniforms (apparently is some kind of navy school you can attend instead of secondary school and gymnasium)
Some soldiers are not that fortunate. They sit along the fancy streets without legs and arms, using skateboards and other things to move around and begging the tourists for money. They all wear their entire uniform. It’s terrible to see. How can you send your people out in war and when they return you just leave them lying? I hope the young soldiers that are walking the streets, looking happy and helping old ladies, will get a better future. And of course they will, this isn’t Soviet any more.
