So here is the first image I have decided to post from our August 2008 vacation in Italy. We were on our way to Werder, Germany and stopped to look around in the picturesque Russian Colony Alexandrovka (aka Russische Kolonie Alexandrowka). One of Potsdam's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Frederick William III built the small village of Alexandrovka to house his beloved Russian choir, which was made up of 12 of the more than 1000 Russian soldiers captured in the Napoleonic Wars. Some descendants of the original inhabitants still live in the homes.
