Dear all. During the last year my blog has been updated just a couple of times. Of course I'm a bit lazy, I see. But mostly it's 'cause more than two years I livе and exist in a different context.

Each time I visit Moscow I learn something interesting. As my colleague and I strolled from Zamoskovorechye to the Gorky House we stopped at the "Bridge of Kisses”
Russian tradition requires newly married couples to kiss on a bridge on their wedding day. However, Moscow is not a city that one would link to romance. Who would have guessed that Moscow would house a bridge so famous for holding memories of newlyweds?
The "Bridge of Kisses” over the Moskva River, is in the shadow of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and just in front of the Pushkin Museum, quite literally. On the bridge are the locks with the names of the lovers and their bonds of love. What began as a few couples tryin... Read more »
When there are a thousand wonderful restaurants from which to choose, how to you go about choosing a good restaurant in Moscow?
Moscow is known for being expensive. It is deserved. In most cities, even Moscow, if you know your way around you can eat well and at a reasonable cost. Well one of the good restaruants in Moscow has to be the KB44. (Kvartira 44, KB stands for Kvartira in Russian since "B" in Russian is pronounced "V"). With great assurance, I can say that you would never choose KB44 on the basis of street appeal.In fact, I can safely say you would never choose it.
True to the theme of the Soviet era, the KB44 requires you to depart the sidewalk for a typically shabby "Soviet era” courtyard. The entrance arch is a little dirty, the ground under the arch is bare, and as you look at the dilapidated gat... Read more »
It's very hot in Moscow now, and it's very beautiful. Bright Moscow girls and young women are in dresses. A lot of cyclists, rollers and skateboarders cut through the city. The best way to spend your evening is to be close to the river or on the terraces, and a huge number of the cafes made the tables on the strees. The sun shines. And one can watch wonderful sunsets every night. Summer!

Moscow roofer Vitaly Raskalov and his friends very often risk to be caught by police and to be thrown into the bullpen. But inspite of everything they climb to the roofs of meaningful Moscow buildings. Sometimes these buildings are under special governmental protection. For example this one. It's the pictures made on the top of the Eurasia Tower, one of the skyscapers on the new district Moscow City. Guys shot the night dowtown and sunrise in Moscow.
Victory Day (the day when WW II had finished) have turned in Russian tradition into a kind of Memory Day and an additional holiday. It's celebrated even by young people that have almost no references to that war. And it's very touching day when veterans are beautiful and joyful that is unsual for them actually because of a lot of reasons.
It was the first Victory Day organized by the new Moscow mayor and his team yesterday. A lot of people tells that fireworks, illuminations and the organization itself were awful. But it was rather beautiful indeed. There're some pictures from the Victory day in Moscow.
