Novodevichy Cemetery
Opening Hours:
9am-6pm; last entry 5pm

Novodevichy Cemetery, adjacent to Novodevichy Convent, is the most famously populated graveyard in the Russian capital. Bolsevik and Soviet generals are buried here, as is Nikita Khrushchev. But it is those with an artistic bent that may make it worth the visit. Look out for composers Shostakovich and Scriabin, novelists Nikolai Gogol and Mikhail Bulgakov, along with men of the stage such as Anton Chekov (with his wife), Vladimir Mayakovsky and Konstantin Stanislavsky, Turkish poet Nazım Hikmet Ran and his darling Vera. Stalin's wife, Nadezhda Allileueva and Russian clown Yuri Nikulin are also residents.

Wonderfully simple composition with a nice POV through the archway. However there is a very slight tilt and it is not quite as sharp as some of your previous posts. Excellent notes.

Best regards, Roberto

Hi Haluk,
nice simple composition, the trees almost hidding the tower and the gate of the cemetery inviting us to enter... TFS!

Haluk,
a beautiful place to have so many famous and infamous residents. The view through the red gate and the trees providing a catch of the golden tower in the background is great. This shot would have probably have benefited from bracketing to have the best exposure for that background that seems to be slightly overexposed here.
Regards, Peter

Merhaba Haluk,
Nice photo with very interesting composition. You can see just small part of monastery, the rest you have to imagine. I like that frame is in the same colour like entrance gateway.
Friendly regards, Petr
