A McNugget By Any Other Name….

You have to love when they give directions to a monument for a renowned poet by giving its proximity to McDonald’s.

Pushkin is considered to be the best Russian poet. 
 
So, there is Pushkinskaya square in Moscow where the monument to Pushkin is installed. It’s on the opposite side from McDonalds.

I also got a kick out of this:

Admission to the cemetery is effectively free since no one checks tickets but apparently you can buy them if you are so inclined.
