Omsk bench redemption

The sun came out and Omsk redeemed itself (with a bench, of course!). Above is the beautiful church in the centre of Omsk on a massive roundabout, with a pair of classic benches sited perfectly to absorb the view.
Omsk also sports a small number of boulevards with shops and cafes, with a good bench population to accompany them. This lady has been waiting since Victorian times for someone to keep her company on the bench. The guy across the road seems hesitant ...
He didn't have an evident name, so we called him Stalin. I say go for it Stalin, she seems nice!
