Russia: If you want to be healthy – "quench" yourself!
Note: "quenching oneself" is a specific Russian term that derives from the Soviet Union times and relates to special training of thermoregulatory processes in the body by regular exposure to cold temperatures. The technique is neither evidence based nor proven effective. My grandfather actually got pneumonia by "quenching himself."

Russia: Moscow Metro
Teatralnaya station main hall/platform.
It was formerly named Sverdlov Square after Yakov Sverdlov, one of the Bolshevik Party leaders. If you look carefully at the trackway walls, you may be able to make out marks left by the former name. The vaulted ceiling is decorated with coffers that feature theatre themed bas-reliefs. The pylons are faced with white marble; the floor is covered with black and yellow granite tiles arranged in a checker-board pattern.

My favourite postcard so far. From my Motherland. It is a Soviet poster that encourages you to keep your mouth shut as spies are everywhere :)
