Palaces of the Pioneers? The first time I've heard about this.  :unsure: Perhaps, such institutions were in large cities, but we did not have them. As far as I know. I did not have time to live during the Soviet Union and my childhood passed after USSR collapse. About the pioneers, I only read books and saw movies, but I did not see them personally.
But in my childhood there were Yunnats (Юннаты). It's like pioneers, only without a communist background.    The Yunnats were doing what they cared about living nature. But I managed to stay in their ranks for a very short time.   It seemed to me boring to clean tree branches, and in my spare time to sit among plants and do nothing.

I trying to take care of all the dogs I meet.

It seems to me that Rhett deliberately behaved in such a way as to impress his peers, otherwise he would not have been accepted into the company. Ali has nothing to do with it. I do not think that Rhett felt sympathy for Ali, rather, he needed her for self-assertion.
And Littlefoot would not be Littlefoot, if as if nothing had happened, he did not invite Rhett to play with the rest, saying that "adventure is yet to come." I liked this episode because the kids came up with how to expose Rhett, help him to throw off the brave image of a "lone dinosaur" and face the real cowardly himself. And after that, after Rhett admitted that he was not brave, he was accepted without his mask, as he is. This is exactly what Rhett needed, and not grown-ups helped him, but is was little dinosaurs. I think it's very cool.

Here are some notes about my daily life with photos. Firstly, I live in a region named North Ossetia. Yes, the red point at the south-west border of the map is my home.  



The city where I live is very small, only 40 thousand inhabitants.
Our region is very warm compared to other regions of Russia. If to compare with the USA, the climate of North Ossetia will be similar to the climate of Kentucky, maybe? In mid-April, we have the first flowers on the trees. Click on pics to full-size it.



Here is the street where I live (and my dog at the middle). In Russia, there is no division into districts and multi-storey apartment houses neighbor with cottages. By the way, I live in cottage, which I think is good.



Between the houses are small shops. This is very convenient, because you can go to the store every morning and buy exactly as much as you need. You do not need to get into the car, wind it up and go to the store for a few miles.
And here is the dogs, that are drowsy in the sun. There are many homeless dogs in our city. They do not starve, the indifferent people feed them.



This is the place named "The Palace of Nature". In my childhood I went there to read a "Red Data List" and take part in quizzes about nature.



Now the first floor of this building is re-equipped in a cafe of restaurant, not sure.
You will be surprised, but in the photo below is the student hostel. In Russia, many things can look creepy. And I like it!

Best LBT fanwork ever. Many thanks.

Hi there. I read your forum for a long time (since 2012), but now I decided to register and post a message. I'm a longtime fan of LBT. At the age of seven I looked at the first movie and since then I have not missed a single new series. My favorite character is Littlefoot. His boundless kindness always was for me an example for imitation.
Now I am one of the active members of a very-very small Russian-speaking LBT-community. I am engaged in the artistic translation of songs, and also unofficial translated 14 part of the movie. Our community lives thanks to your forum too.
I hope that I can communicate here. I'm using translator to leave messages, so do not be surprised if some of my phrases look strange.
