You might need some basic Russian-reading skills if you are in Moscow without any local friends :)

Every year about 2 million foreign tourists visit Russia. Still, the navigation in local cities might be too taxing for guests from abroad. Lack of transliteration in public places is capable to turn a simple journey by subway into a real challenge.

We ♥ Moscow. Nevermind the weather...

Сокольники и парк Горького станут аналогом Гайд-парка в Москве

Власти Москвы выбрали парк "Сокольники" и ЦПКиО им. Горького в качестве площадок для аналога Гайд-парка.

"Из четырех точек, которые были, с учетом необходимых требований мы решили остановиться на двух: это парк Сокольники и Парк Горького", - сказал Майоров на брифинге после заседания рабочей группы по вопросу создания аналога Гайд-парка в Москве.

Идею создания аналога Гайд-парка, где каждый желающий сможет высказать свои политические взгляды, власти Москвы начали активно обсуждать в связи с массовыми акциями оппозиции, проходящими в городе начиная с прошлого декабря.

Теперь в Парке Горького и в Сокольниках смогут собраться до двух тысяч человек без согласования с властями. Если организаторы митингов намерены провести акцию в конкретном месте или число ее участников будет превышать две тысячи человек, им придется по-прежнему подавать уведомление в мэрию.

Well-written piece about Moscow. Good intro stuff.

It still enjoys something of an austere reputation thanks to its years behind the Iron Curtain - but Moscow is also a city of colour, history and wealth. Especially wealth, says Sebastian Lander.

Great source for all of you who wanted to learn a little bit of Russian

Writing for the Russian blog is, without any doubt, one of the most interesting and rewarding things I’ve done up until now. Not only do I get to better my English (how else would I learn the difference between “enunciation” and “annunciation”) and watching Наша Раша (Our Russia) for hours on end, b...
