Extra Credit Questions

[RJNorton]

Excellent, Eva. It is in Russia. The other man is Czar Alexander II.

Many thanks to Dave Wiegers who sent me an email that inspired this question.

Eva, you have posted several times how you hate cold weather, so your prize is a wonderfully warm 2016-2017 winter.

From the Washington Post, February 23, 2011:

"Here's Abraham Lincoln on Bolshaya Pirogovskaya Street, larger than life, shaking hands with Czar Alexander II. They are the Emancipator and the Liberator, joined together in a new work by sculptor Alexander Burganov. They're looking jolly, these men who, half a world apart, presided over the freeing of serfs and slaves.

Behind them, in the building of the Russian federal archives, an exhibit opened Tuesday that looks at Lincoln's life, and Alexander's."
