More of the Museum Part One

This how I usually start my tour:) I point to the Provideniya on the map and tell that it was founded in 1937 as a sea port and that there is 9 hours difference with Moscow and we are one day minus 3 hours ahead of Nome,AK. The pictures a darker then I would like them but you can see things anyway.

They speak Russian. They are forgetting their own language. That is a sad thing...I think they are both Russians as they live in Russia and speack Russian and they are natives as they still live in their land and have their traditions.
