FREE WATER IN METRO
This summer you dont have to worry about dehydration on
very hot days because Moscow authorities are planning to
distribute free unlimited drinking water to all passengers in
the metro if temperatures climb above +28C. In addition, all
underground transportation will undergo diagnostics and
extra maintenance ahead of the hot months, with special
focus on the air conditioning and ventilation systems so that
your travels will be as pleasant as possible this summer.
CHANGES IN PUBLIC
TRANSPORT
On May 25th Aeroexpress trains to and from Domodedovo
and Sheremetyevo airports changed to the new summer
schedule. During morning and evening rush hours the in-
terval between trains is reduced to 20 minutes instead of 30
to better serve the increased ow of passengers. The num-
ber of suburban trains has also increased and additional
ticket counters and machines have been installed to expe-
dite ticket purchasing during rush hours. From 11:00 until
16:00 passengers can also take their bicycles on the trains
for free. Additional transportation has also been added to
the following popular summer spots: Rublevksy Plyazh,
Serebryany Bor and Borisovskie Prudy.

RUSSIA DAY CELEBRATIONS
One of the most important government holidays in Russia
is June 12th, also known as Russia Day. This date is signi-
cant because on June 12th, 1990 Soviet leaders signed a
declaration of Russias state sovereignty, which symbolized
the beginning of democratic reforms in Russia. It became a
public holiday in 1994. Nowadays its an occasion for many
Russians to demonstrate national pride by attending various
concerts, events and, of course, rework demonstrations or-
ganized by authorities in cities across the country. Moscow
will see a variety of events all throughout the city, with the
biggest ones happening on the Red Square, in Victory Park,
in Gorky Park and in Hermitage Gardens.
There is an old stereotype among foreigners that Russia is
a country of eternal frost and snow-covered streets where
bears roam. We assure you its not true. There is also another
stereotype that everything is extreme here. Its always eve-
rything or nothing. This one is more accurate. Its hard to
imagine that only two months ago the streets of Moscow
were absolutely white and it was freezing, and now, while
we are preparing this issue of Moscow In Your Pocket, its
almost 30 degrees. Summer has ocially come to Moscow
and it will show you the capital in all its glory. Congratula-
tions, youve chosen a great time to explore the city!
It is going to be a very busy two months in the city. Check out
our special feature about summer festivals (page 17). Muzeon
park and Gorky park, Arkhangelskoye and Kolomenskoe are
some of Moscows nicest locations, where you can enjoy live
music while lying under a tree and sipping an ice-cold cock-
tail. Famous musicians from all over the world will be coming
to Moscow this summer. And they keep saying that the best
open-air music festivals are held in Europe? Please!
If you are not a music fan and the arrival of the sunny
months means the arrival of the World Cup 2014 for you,
weve thought about that as well. Admittedly, you are a bit
far from Brazil, but weve prepared a special list of places
(page 30) where you can watch all the games while enjoy-
ing delicious food and fresh drinks.
We wish you all a wonderful time in sunny Moscow! Enjoy
music, culture, football, sparkling cocktails, shashliks, green
parks, fresh air and smiley people around you! summer!

Arriving & Getting Around Arriving & Getting Around
TAXIS
Taxis in Moscow can be relatively cheap compared to other
Western capitals. If you phone a legitimate taxi company,
youll be quoted an exact price for the journey.
Angel Taxi, tel. (+7) 495 956 08 00, www.angel-taxi.com
English-speaking operators and drivers in Moscows pre-
mier 24/7 taxi dispatching per-km service with over 1300
drivers in Moscow.

Taxi Shanson, tel. (+7) 495 225 31 31, www.tshanson.ru
XXL taxi, tel. (+7) 495 995 82 94, www.xxltaxi.ru
Its also accepted practice to hail down random cars and
negotiate even cheaper prices for rides across the city. To
indicate youre looking for a lift, stick out your arm - palm
down. To foreigners, the practice may seem unsafe and it
is advisable to take caution by traveling with a compan-
ion and generally trusting your instinct. Mostly, drivers are
notorious for overcharging foreigners. A journey within the
city centre should cost between 250-500Rbl. Always agree
to a price in advance (Skolko?) and if the driver refuses,
slam the door and move on to the next Lada.
Moscow is famous for its red walls, its snowy winters and
its excellent public transport system. Although it is home
to over 12 million people, Moscows public transportation
has been hailed as being amongst the best and most ef-
cient in the world. Whether it is bus, tram, underground,
trolley bus, marshrutka (xed route minibuses) or train, the
prices are cheap, the journey is brief and despite the severe
weather that hits Moscow, virtually always on time and in
service. And if public transport is not for you, simply stick
out your arm and you will have a choice of 3 or 4 taxis with-
in seconds. You will never nd yourself without a method
of getting from A to B in Moscow!
ARRIVING BY PLANE
Moscows three main airports are Sheremetyevo located
in the north, Domodedovo in the south east and Vnu-
kovo in the south west. The Aeroexpress train is by the far
the fastest and most reliable way to get in to the city centre,
dropping passengers o at the metro circle line in just 35
- 45 minutes.
Night time arrivals (the Aeroexpress is closed between
00:30 and 05:00) will be at the mercy of taxi drivers so
it is advisable to pre-book a taxi or transfer, to save your-
self being ripped o by the touts. Remember that when
taking a taxi from the airport to the centre that 1,800 -
2,000Rbl is a standard fare, do not let the taxi touts intimi-
date you with talk of 4,000Rbl rides. Around 1,800Rbl is
reasonable. If you withdraw cash in the airport, be aware
that ATMs often dispense 1,000Rbl notes. As taxi drivers
can not be depended on to have change, if you want to
avoid giving them a hefty tip, try to obtain some change
in the terminal beforehand.
ARRIVING BY TRAIN
Arriving in Russia by rail is a great experience wheth-
er you are coming from east or west, Moscows many
train stations are always bustling with travelers about
to embark on long journeys.Those arriving very early
in the morning to the stations around Komsomolskaya
ploschad (Leningradsky, Kazansky and Yaroslavsky - usu-
ally hubs for travel from central Siberia, the Urals and St.
Petersburg) would be advised to get a taxi rather than
wait for the metro to open as the area can be rather dan-
gerous at night.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT
The quickest method of public transport in Moscow is the
metro. With no more than 3 minutes passing between
each train, passengers barely get a chance to marvel at the
beautiful architecture inside many stations. Buying a ticket
is very easy, either a single from the automatic machine,
or multiple rides from the ticket oce. Tickets cost 40Rbl,
although buying in bulk is cheaper (11 for 300Rbl). On the
more modern trains, there is an electonicr sign in each car-
rige, announcing which station the train is approaching.
However in the older carriages, it is simply a voice over,
which can be dicult to hear in rush hour, so for those who
arent familiar with Moscows many stations, it is best to
count the number of stops you need to go.
Trams, buses and trolleybuses all use the same tickets as
the metro. tramlines run all over the city and are very easy
to navigate, though perhaps slightly less punctual than the
metro. Buses and trolleybuses are also very straightforward,
with the routes and destinations displayed in the windows
and an electronic, scrolling banner with the name of the
next stop inside,
Last but not least: marshrutkas. A marshrutka may take
some getting used to for a new comer to Moscow. What can
look like slightly dodgy minibuses are actually a legitimate
form of transport with xed routes. Passengers can ask the
driver to stop by shouting ostanovite pazhalsta! anywhere
along the route to let them out. The average cost is 30Rbl
- be sure to have some small change on you when taking a
marshrutka as a driver will not take kindly to a 1000Rbl note!

Qtel. (+7) 495 775 83 33, www.hertz.ru. A
AEROEXPRESS TRAINS
The most reliable way of travelling to and from air-
ports in Moscow is by Aeroexpress. Aeroexpress trains
run between Belorussky Rail Terminal and Sherem-
etyevo (SVO) airport, Kievsky Rail Terminal and Vnu-
kovo (VKO) airport, and Paveletsky Rail Terminal and
Domodedovo (DME) airport. Each rail terminal is con-
nected via the metro circle line. It takes 35 45 minutes
to get to the airports from the centre of Moscow.
Aeroexpress tickets can be bought at Aeroexpress
ticket counters or at automatic machines in the rail ter-
minals, through the websites of partner airlines, travel
agencies, and via air ticket agencies, either in Moscow,
or indeed almost any other region of Russia. A list of
sales outlets can be found on the companys website,
where you can also buy an electronic ticket: www.
aeroexpress.ru.
Download their free mobile app and you will be able to
purchase Aeroexpress tickets using your smartphone
with no need to print out the ticket: the turnstiles at
the airport are able to read the tickets QR-code directly
from your smartphone/tablet screen.
If you are a Master Card Pay-
Pass or VISA PayWave hold-
er, you can easily pay for the
fare directly at the turnstiles
Aeroexpress.

from within Russia are free).

City Basics
REGISTRATION
Remember that you must be registered within 7 days of
your arrival in Russia (excluding weekends and public holi-
days). Hotels are legally obliged to register you within 24
hours of arrival. Many travel agencies can also register you.
If you dont get registered on time, you can expect serious
problems when leaving, ranging from paying a fee, to miss-
ing your ight while ocials interrogate you.
MONEY
The national currency is the rouble (Rbl). Banknotes come
in denominations of 50, 100, 500, 1,000 and 5,000. Rouble
coins come in 1, 2, 5 and 10Rbl. There are 100 kopeks to a
rouble and kopek coins come in 5, 10 and 50. Its illegal to
pay in dollars or euros. Find ATMs at most metro stations,
banks and large hotels.
FOREIGNER PRICES
The foreigner price is a hangover from the good old days
of Intourist-organised Soviet travel. At some theatres and
museums, foreigners are required to pay two to ve times
more than the Russian price. Ouch! These institutions insist
that Russian tickets are subsidised with foreigners paying the
real price. If you have a document (propusk), which says you
work or study in Russia, you can usually get the local price.
CUSTOMS
For most travellers leaving Russia you will just need to go to the
GREEN (nothing to declare) channel and you do NOT need to
complete the Customs and Currency Declaration Statement
upon arrival or departure (unless you are carrying thousands
of dollars in cash with you). Any art works, icons etc that are
over 100 years old cannot be taken out of the country. If you
are in doubt about antiques you have bought get an experts
report, either from the Rosokhrankultura (Kitaigorodsky pr. 7,
bldg. 2, tel. (+7) 495 660 77 30) or an accredited shop. Travel-
ling to most countries you can legally take 200 cigarettes and
2 litres of hard alcohol out with you. To some countries such as
Estonia, the allowance is less.
MOBILE PHONES
You can use your mobile phone from home if your provider
has a roaming agreement with a Russian mobile company.
To avoid roaming charges, you can get a Russian SIM card.
Youll need to bring your passport to the store to register
your new sim card.
ALCOHOL
The traditional Russian alcoholic drink is of course vodka.
The Poles may also claim that they invented it, but what
is certain is that the Russians - and in particular the scien-
tist Mendeleev - are the ones who perfected the recipe.
Vodka is cheap and there are literally hundreds of brands to
choose from. The most traditional way to drink it is straight
as a shot, followed by a salty snack. Beer (pivo) is now the
most popular alcoholic drink in Russia and Sovietskoye
shampanskoye (Soviet champagne) is the national party
drink. Take note that you cannot buy alcohol in shops that
is above 0,5% between 22:00 and 11:00.
POST
Only believe half the stories you hear about Russias post
system. Mail may get detoured, but usually not lost. If
you need to get something in or out of the country in
a hurry, consider a courier service. A letter to Europe or
Australia takes around three weeks. In addition to these
offices below, you can also buy stamps from any post
office in Moscow and drop them into any dark blue post
box around the city.
CLIMATE
In June and July Moscow hits its stride with balmy tem-
peratures ranging from the mid 20s to the low 30s. Hay fe-
ver suers may struggle with the dusty air and high pollen
count which the summer weather brings with it. Sudden
storms and temperature drops at night mean that its best
to be prepared - think layers, an umbrella and a folding-
paper fan. And of course dont forget your sunglasses.
BE ON GUARD!
Avoid attracting unwanted attention by not speaking
loudly in your mother tongue, or walking the streets if
you have been drinking. If you are of African, Arab, or
Asian descent or have dark skin exercise caution, par-
ticularly at night.

POCKET DICTIONARY: KVASS
Mmm Kvass the taste of Russian
summer. Once the hot months ar-
rive youll notice big yellow barrels
full of this fermented rye bread soft
drink appear on the streets yes,
a drink made from bread! Bit like a
hald at, non-alcoholic ale, its an
acquired taste to say the least Marketed as an authentic
Slavic alternative to cola, this ancient, traditionally homemade
drink is now sold in supermarkets across the land under brand
names such as klassik and nikola (not cola, gettit?). Kvass can
also sometimes nd its way into your food too - Okroshka is a
cold soup consisting of raw vegetables, ham, boiled eggs and
lots of kvass. Those crazy Russian chefs!

Culture & Events Culture & Events
BIRD OF HAPPINESS
Russias cultural traditions of the past and present are
embodied in the sounds of nature and see its scenery.
Our ancestors listened to the singing of the birds, the
rustle of the leaves, the gusts of wind and the crunch of
fresh snow. They also marveled at the colorful sunsets,
the whiteness of the rst snow, the rich green tones of
grass in the spring and the rays of the summer sun. All
of these sights and sounds they captured in music and
lyrics. This dialogue with nature and our surroundings is
where the Russian national song found its beginning.
Nadezhda Babkina, a true Peoples Artist of Russia,
would like to invite you on a musical adventure into the
vibrant world of human emotions with her show The
Bird of Happiness, for it is this bird, according to Russian
folklore, that we are constantly chasing throughout our
lives, which are so full of losses and gains, moments
that captivate us or brief seconds of bitter separation.
Thanks to the most modern show technologies, you
will get to travel throughout Russias vast landscapes
from the harsh winters, to the golden autumns, from
the summer elds to the intoxicating aromas of the
blooming springs. Ice sculptures, hundreds of authen-
tic costumes, unique choreography and the singing of
the Russkaya Pesnya group will this journey into the
world of genuine human emotions truly unforgettable.
And of course, staying true to real Russian traditions,
guests are greeted with bread and salt, Russian national
food will be abundant, national dress will be presented,
national arts and crafts will be on display all this will
really get guests to dive into Russias rich culture and
Russians mysterious soul.
The show will take place daily (apart from Mondays)

JUNE AND JULY EVENTS
06.06 FRIDAY
20:00 TANGERINE DREAM
Its been a long time in coming, but electronic pioneers
Tangerine Dream are nally coming to Moscow as part
of their farewell tour. The band started out in Germany
in 1967, citing inuences as diverse as Hendrix and Dali.
Entranced by the potential of electronic music making -
something still in its infancy - their complex soundscapes
paved the way for a vast range of followers, from the gla-
cial austerity of near contemporaries Kraftwerk to the vio-
lent rock of Rammstein. This farewell tour also marks the
40th anniversary of the seminal Phaedra album, widely
regarded as one of the high points of its genre.QCrocus

06.06 FRIDAY
20:00 THE USED
The Used once earned as
much fame for the stormy
TV relationship between
singer Bert McCracken and
matriarch Sharon Osbourne
while he was dating her
daughter. But 13 years into
a hard-rocking career the
Utah-based band is tour-
ing a new, politically mo-
tivated album. Imaginary
Enemy speaks out angrily against the pretexts for empire
building, something which strikes a chord with listeners on
both sides of the Atlantic. Reassuringly, though, it also rocks
like a goodun: while the philosophy might spark debate in
the bar afterwards, the music itself should whip up a reli-
able frenzy in the mosh pit.QGlavclub, ul. Ordzhonikidze
11, MLeninsky prospekt, tel. (+7) 495 230 10 30, www.

Moscow can be considered as the birthplace of Tchai-
kovsky, Tolstoy, Stanislavsky, Chekhov, Bulgakov and co.
they all took their inspiration from this magical and
majestic place. Live music from local and international
performers is another big part of the cultural landscape
of the city and on a lighter note, contemporary Moscow
also sees the running of high heeled road races, honey
festivals, air-guitar competitions and other curious
events.

10.06 TUESDAY
20:00 THE PRETTY RECKLESS
When Gossip Girl star Taylor
Momsen announced she
was planning a music career
it was easy to fear the worst.
But instead of playing up to
her girl-next-door TV image,
The Pretty Reckless saw her
opt to play the goth-tinged
rock chick, setting her phas-
ers to shock and riding me-
dia outrage to chart success.
But questions still linger:
is this anything more than an empty shell, well-crafted but
lacking any kind of musical substance? And if Momsen kept
her bra on, would anyone notice the band at all? Moscow au-
diences get their chance to nd out at Stadium Live on June
10.QStadium Live, Leningradsky pr. 80, bldg. 17, MSokol,

10.06 TUESDAY
21:00 LILY ALLEN
Lily Allen was never likely to
be the typical pop princess.
A childhood populated by a
cast of celebrities of Britains
counter-culture, from Joe
Strummer to Harry Eneld,
ensured that. Her music,
while veering from ska-punk
to synth-pop, has never lost
its aggressive, sweary, nger-
jabbing anger, making her a
tabloid darling as much as a
radio xture. After a long break from the recording studio, this
years new album, Sheezus (deliberately skewering the pre-
tensions of Kanye West) is one of the most hotly-anticipated
releases of the year, and early taster Hard out here suggests
shes still in ne, iconoclastic form.QArena Moscow, Lenin-
gradsky pr. 31, bldg. 4, MDinamo, tel. (+7) 495 665 99 99,

11.06 WEDNESDAY
20:30 FOALS
A generation after the great Radiohead formed at Abing-
don Boys School, the Oxford establishment has unleashed
another indie-rock monster on the world. Foals, perhaps
the worlds hardest-working act, has certainly put the
airmiles in, clocking 135,000 miles to play 155 gigs last
year. Practise pays o, and Q magazine named them the
best live band of the year while Holy Fire was nominated
for the prestigious Mercury Prize. Musically diverse, and
committed to memorable live shows, a Foals concert is
a big event for fans - and usually converts plenty of new
ones at the same time.QStadium Live, Leningradsky pr.
80, bldg. 17, MSokol, tel. (+7) 495 540 55 40, www.

15.06 SUNDAY
19:00 TORI AMOS
Tori Amos last visit to Mos-
cow, three years ago, was
an exquisite treat for lovers
of classically-inuenced
art-rock. This time out,
with a new, rockier album
Unrepentant Geraldines
on the go, the ambience
might be a bit dierent,
but the commitment to
high-quality, diverse music-making remains the same as
ever. Its more than 20 years since her Little Earthquakes
debut; since then Tori has evolved into far more than a
highly-strung singer-songwriter at a piano and matured
into one of the most absorbing artists in the contempo-
rary music scene. Expect a big crowd to get along to Cro-
cus City Hall to enjoy the latest installment.QCrocus City
Hall, MKAD 65-66 Km, MMyakinino, tel. (+7) 499 550

18.06 WEDNESDAY
20:00 TOM ODELL
When youre signed up on a personal recommendation
from Lily Allen, but also get a 0-out-of-10 review from the
inuential NME, its fair to say you polarize opinions. Tom
Odell, depending on who you ask, is a Bowie for a new age,
or a tedious purveyor of bland Brit-mediocrity. Away from
opinions, though, Odell won the Critics Choice prize at the
2013 Brit Awards and his debut album, Long Way Down has
won plenty of fans with its energy and emotional honesty.
And, if you dont like the show, you can always go to Lily
Allens gig and complain to her about it.QGlavclub, ul. Or-

19.06 THURSDAY
20:00 PSYCHEA
Russias rock scene can
often appear moribund,
with few acts willing to
push boundaries and chal-
lenge the cozy medioc-
rity demanded of national
broadcasters. Happily,
the countrys biggest and
longest-serving alternative
act, Psychea, is still around
to rue a few feathers. The
music is hard and uncom-
promising, the stage show - now theyve graduated to
large arenas - is on a grand scale and the bands consis-
tent thirst for experimentation during its 18-year history
means theres always something new for fans to hear. The
welcome establishment of the Glavclub brand in Moscow
gives an ideal venue for Psycheas latest show.QGlavclub,

19:00 LAURA PAUSINI
Laura Pausini marks 20 years
in showbiz with her rst ever
performance here in Russia.
As part of her Greatest Hits
world tour the Italian singer
is bringing her best loved
songs to Moscow - includ-
ing the classic La Solitinude
that launched her career
and was re-released as a
special anniversary edition last year. Her fanbase stretches
across more than 50 countries, and she performs in four lan-
guages (although Russian is not yet one of those). Her discog-
raphy includes duets with artists as diverse as Kylie Minogue,
Andrea Bocelli and Helene Segara, as well as appearing at
the Pavarotti and Friends concert and dueting with the mae-
stro on two separate occasions.QCrocus City Hall, MKAD

20:00 KALINOV MOST
Dmitry Revyakin, founder and frontman of Siberian folk-
rockers Kalinov Most, celebrates his 50th birthday this year.
As part of the festivities his band - one of the most enduring
and inuential in Russian rock - is back on the road. The years
have brought changes, not least the switch from Pagan to
Christian inuence following Revyakins conversion in 2000,
but the man himself explains that his underlying theme is
the Russia Id hope to live in. Musically the folk inuences
have waned somewhat in favor of MOR rock, but the band
retains a large and loyal Russian fanbase.QGlavclub, ul. Or-
dzhonikidze 11, MLeninsky prospect, tel. (+7) 495 230

09.07 WEDNESDAY
20:00 FOSTER THE PEOPLE
Foster the People earned its fame thanks to Pumped Up
Kicks an unlikely indie-pop hit about a high school shoot-
ing. Overnight success saw many of the tracks from de-
but album Torches nd their way into TV soundtracks.
Now the band is back on the road, promoting its second
album, Supermodel. Partially recorded in Morocco, this
release has a more diverse vibe, but at its heart it remains
a slice of angry, pensive indie rock with an underlying
message about greed. QGlavclub, ul. Ordzhonikidze
11, MLeninsky prospect, tel. (+7) 495 230 10 30, www.

KOSTROMA
Bored of Russian history museums with lots of dry and
non-compelling texts? Looking for history that would
be fun and accessible to the whole family? If yes, make
sure to check out the National Show of Russia Kostro-
ma! For 10 years now this annual summer spectacle
has been transcending space and time to show viewers
from all parts of Russia and beyond the vastness of this
incredible multi-cultural country.
Politicians, artists, cultural gures, royalty, children and
their parents, young and old have all been witness to
historical events of the Russian nation that unfold on the
stage of the Big Concert Hall Kosmos. Here, scenes from
our astounding history and stories of our greatest heroes
and epochs come alive through dance. Through brilliant
stage performances we are shown the beginning of Chris-
tianity in Russia, the Tsarist epoch and pre-revolutionary
Russia, the ight of the rst man into space and the fa-
mous Russian ballet. A variety of landscapes are covered,
ranging from the Caucaus mountains to Asian steppes, the
Northern Ocean to the Black Sea, the beautiful Volga river
to the mighty Yenisei. As the scenery changes, so do the
people along with their traditions and culture.
Over 50 artists perform various numbers, among them
Tatar Spring, Legends of the North, The Rhythm of the
Caucuses, The River Volga Flows, Yokhorand Tsam all
with astounding accuracy and adherence to the traditions
and the way of life of the numerous cultures embodied in
the Russian Federation. Very special attention is also given
to the decorations to ensure that all elements are as close
to reality as possible. More than 300 costumes were de-
signed by Elena Piatrovskaya and are extremely fascinat-
ing with how true they remain to the national style. All the
amulets, Mongolian masks, drums and Tatar tambourines
were hand-made by the masters of the cultures and tra-
ditions from regions near and far, such as Chukotka, the
Tuva Republic, Dagestan and Tatarstan. Vladimir Kornev, a
famous composer, wrote the music for many of the num-
bers and the musical arrangement for the 80 musicians of
the orchestra was created by Vladimir Ryabtsev, a Peoples
Artist of the Russian Federation.

STANISLAVSKY
MUSIC THEATRE
Dating back to 1918-1919 the Stanislavsky and Nemi-
rovich-Danchenko Moscow Music Theatre is one of
the biggest and most successful theatres of Russia. The
opera and ballet performances are well known to the
Moscow audience and attract more and more interna-
tional visitors.
The theatre takes part in many international projects
and gets yearly nominated for the national theatre
premium Golden Mask. In 2013 it was nominated in
London for the Oscar amongst the operas; the rst
international opera award for best opera theatre. The
Stanislavsky theatre itself is beautifully decorated, with
wide open spaces and a lovely museum showing the
history of the theatre, costumes used for performances
and lovely stage models.
June 10 will see the premier of Mozarts Don Juan. This
wonderful opera pushed the boundaries of Mozarts
time creating a lively and amusing drama about the
dangers and the lusts of Don Juan. The original debut
of the opera in Prague was met with positive reviews
but was less warmly welcomed in Vienna. Regardless of
what critics of the day thought, Don Juan has become
one of Mozarts best loved works.
July will be met with a premiere of Manon one of the
best loved ballets of the 20th century and based on the
comic opera by Jules Massenet. The ballet is about the
tricky choices love faces when the protagonist is un-
able to decide between the temptations of luxury and
the love of his life. The production is exquisitely cho-
reographed and designed with authentic 17th century
costumes and this loving performance will give you a
snapshot into the life of 17th century France in all its
glory and sundry.

MUSIC IN TSARITSYNO

sical ensembles takes over the palace, with performanc-
es from the likes of violinist Dmitry Kogan, tenor Maxim
Paster and soprano Maria Maksakova. But the biggest
highlight is probably the evening program on June
28, when an outdoor performance of Carmina Burana
(8pm) is followed by a rock concert with Olga Kormukh-
ina (10 pm). The rst two weekends in July oer a mix-
ture of chamber music, jazz and - to wrap up the festival

VIVA ITALIA!
From the splendor of Ancient Rome to the glories of the
Renaissance, Italy has dened the architectural language
for centuries. Reecting this, the Tretyakov is putting on
a show of Italian design through the eyes of artists from
dierent eras and countries. Drawing on works from its
own collection as well as visiting canvases from Berlins
Museum of Architectural Drawing and the Tchoban Fund,
the exhibition presents Italys cityscapes in various ways:
strict studies, artistic observations and a starting point for
creative imaginations.QC-4, Tretyakov Gallery, Lavrush-

THE STAGE ON SHOW
Fyodor Fyodorovsky
wasnt a great singer or
dancing, but he did as
much as anyone to cre-
ate the image of the Bol-
shoi Theatre as a globally
renowned cultural pow-
erhouse. He spent more
than 30 years as a stage
designer, arriving in 1921
and quickly becoming the
chief set designer and costume artist. From the famous
red-and-gold curtains which hung from 1935 until the
restoration of the main stage in 2005 to the stars that
shine from the towers of the Kremlin, his designs shaped
a nations image of itself. The highlights of his stage
work came in the 1930s-50s when he created denitive
imagery for a wealth of Russian operas - the historical
epics like Boris Godunov, Khovanshchina, Prince Igor,
The Tsars Bride and many more. This summer show at
the New Tretyakov oers an insight into how he styled
Russias past - and helped to dene its present for inter-
national audiences.QB-5, Tretyakov Gallery at Krymsky

ABOUT IGOR CHOLARIA
The contemporary Russian artist Igor Cholaria was in-
uenced by French impressionists and early 20th cen-
tury avant-garde especially by such painters as Picasso,
Braque and Modigliani. However, it is clear that he was
also inuenced by Russian icon paintings and the re-
naissance masters. His style is an organic synthesis of
various styles from dierent periods and he conse-
quently refers to his own works as a retrospective. In
his work he adds new ideas to old and is prepared to
take a step backwards to take two steps forward. Over
the past 20 years the artist has worked extensively with
English, Belgian and Dutch galleries and his works have
been purchased by Madonna, John Galliano, Gerard
Depardieu among others. The artist is in the prime of
life and able to surprise not only the public, but even
himself.

wordsmiths happened to spend time there. But as the
State Literary Museum marks its 80th anniversary, a new
exhibition at Tsaritsyno oers a glimpse of what the future
might hold for some of the worlds most valuable written
relics. As well as a host of unique manuscripts and rare edi-
tions of Russian classics - from Fedorov to Solzhenitsyn -
multimedia technology introduces a new wealth of audio
recordings. The exhibition, called Memory of the Future
also features events with contemporary writers and cre-
ators, from satirist Dmitry Bykov to mystical cartoonist Yuri
Norshtein, of Hedgehog in the Fog fame.QTsaritsyno,

SCULPTING A NEW ORDER
Vera Mukhina is most fa-
mous for her work on the
monumental Worker and
Collective Farm Girl sculp-
ture, which became the
logo for Moslm and fea-
tured in the opening cer-
emony at the Sochi Olym-
pics. But in a display to
mark the 125th anniversary
of her birth, the Tretyakov
Gallery is focusing on less
well-known works from the early years of the USSR. It was
a time when art was being put to the service of the ideals
of the new socialist order, and when the heroes of sculp-
ture and painting should be idealized images of everyday
people rather than images of great men. Looking at the
sketches and projects Mukhina planned at this time gives
an insight into how she developed her monumentalist
style and helped bring these ideals to reality in bronze and
stone.QB-5, Tretyakov Gallery at Krymsky Val, Krymsky

RUSSIAN MOTIVES
TRADITIONAL CRAFT FROM PAST TO PRESENT
Painted lacquer snuboxes became hugely fashionable
in the late 18th century, and quickly evolved into a cel-
ebration of traditional Russian cultural themes. The dark
backgrounds gave rise to a host of brightly-colored fai-
rytale scenes, some inspired by folk tales, others by liter-
ary classics. Its a snapshot of the Russian landscape, its
dense forests, mighty rivers and mythical lost cities, and
its a tradition which survived the Soviet era without be-
ing pressed into propaganda service. Russian masters of
lacquer painting have shaped the development of this
medium all over the world. To celebrate this rich tradi-
tion, the All-Russian Decorative Art Museum is staging a
special exhibition. More than 300 works by masters from
Palekh, Fedoskino, Mstyora and Kholui form the basis of
the display, which includes several items never seen be-
fore by the general public. The exhibition also reects the
museums growing role as a guardian of Russias unique
arts and crafts. An important part of the show focuses on
contemporary lacquerwork, showing how this tradition
continues to thrive and develop in the 21st century.
04.06 WEDNESDAY - 10.08 SUNDAY
EVERYTHING STOPS FOR TEA
No visit to Russia would be complete without encoun-
tering the famous samovar. The word samovar means
self boiling; the object supplies a constant supply of
piping hot water at the table, fuelling the thirst for a cup
of tea. Russias tea culture, which maintains a powerful
grip on the nations habits today, developed relatively
late; the oriental infusion started gaining popularity in
the 17th century as the Russian Empire expanded into
Central Asia. The Museum of Decorative Arts is staging a
large-scale exhibition exploring Russias tea culture - in-
cluding many ne examples of samovars - throughout
its history. The display also includes packaging, advertis-
ing materials, shop fronts from tea stores and informa-
tion about the Great Tea Road that brought the prized
leaves to eager fans in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

SUMMER FESTIVALS
HOORAH, FESTIVAL SEASON IS UPON US!
Everyones happy that summer is nally here in Moscow!
But now this is especially true for music lovers of all musi-
cal persuasions. Why? Well, in recent years the European
festival culture has nally caught up in Moscow. A testa-
ment to that is last years summer, which saw titans such
as Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Limp Bizkit, Hot Chip and
George Clinton take to various stages across the city. So,
sunglasses? Check. Sunscreen? Check. Comfortable foot-
wear? Check. Friends? Check. Good vibes? Check. Alright,
lets see what this summer has got in store!
WORDS OF WISDOM
Now wed like to share with you some words of wis-
dom from veteran festival goers to make sure you
make the right choices and have a FUNtastic time.
1. Study the line-up and program carefully. Youll need
to decide what you really want from your festival ex-
perience, i.e. only music or music as well as other cul-
tural/entertainment programs.
2. Think about which bands you really want to see
and then if you dont mind spoiler alerts check out
their setlists from recent gigs to make sure your favor-
ite tunes get played; its also worth reading reviews
from fellow fans about the bands recent gigs. Go on
the festivals website and check out whos playing on
which days and at what times. If there are some bands
you want to see theres always a chance that there may
be clashes in the program so you might have to make
some dicult decisions.
3. Make sure to buy tickets in advance because prices
tend to get steeper and steeper as your festival(s) of
choice draws nearer.
4. On the day, make sure to arrive at least an hour/
hour and a half ahead of your rst bands performance
to avoid being late due to lines and lengthy security
checks.
5. And remember, a festival is not a pillow ght so
dont expect softness and feathers everywhere:
people push, shove and dance drunken dances so be
ready for a bit of roughness, especially at rock gigs and
closer to the stages.
6. Most importantly: HAVE FUN!

AHMAD TEA MUSIC FESTIVAL
Moscows festival sea-
son will kick o on June
7th with the Ahmad Tea
Music Festival in Muzeon
Park. A relative new comer,
this cozy little festival has
grown from its rst edi-
tion in 2011 into a must for
those who are interested
in the slightly more under-
ground splendors of Brit-
ains (because its an English tea brand, after all!) indie rock
and electronica scene and the countrys festival culture in
general. ATMF enjoys the reputation of shing out young
new British talent just before they skyrocket to fame and
therefore have not yet outgrown smaller venues.
The message of the festival is clear: we exist in order to
create a quality musical environment, bring relevant artists
to an audience that truly appreciates contemporary British
music and to recreate the British festival environment in
Russias cultural space. So this year, please welcome the
headliner Elbow, a legendary British band - on par with
Coldplay and Radiohead - with several Mercury and Brit
Awards in their pocket. Bombay Bicycle Club (with their
new album So Long See You Tomorrow), Peace (an indie-
rock quarter from Worcester) and Palma Violets (whose
single Best of Friends was NMEs song of the year) will
also rock the stage at this years ATMF. Q B-5, Muzeon

WILD MINT FESTIVAL
Wild Mint is the largest
world music festival in
Russia. Ever since 2008 it
is held every summer, in
the cultural ethnographic
complex Ethnomir (in
Kaluga Region), and at-
tracts the most salient
artists from all corners of
the world: Balkan rollicking
tunes and Celtic rhythms,
lingering Russian melodies and laconic afrobeat, noble
ethno-jazz and sunny ragga, Georgian polyphony and
Portuguese tunes, the songs of independent Spanish pop
music and fancy Finno-Ugric lamentation songs.
This year you can expect to see Alex Clare, Brainstorm, Sur-
ganov and Orchestra, Therr Maitz, N.O.H.A, Nina Carlson,
Project Rakija and many other Russian and foreign artists.
The vibrant musical program and a rich cultural enter-
tainment come together to provide visitors with a truly
unforgettable trip around our breathtaking planet all
within a short train ride from Moscow! Besides music
from around the world, the World-on-a-Plate food festi-
val is held there, enabling guests to get acquainted with

PICNIC AFISHA
Held every year since 2004, Picnic Asha has turned into a
little city within a big city. Last year, over 50,000 people
attended this mecca for a second to none program of
music and arts, leisure and lifestyle activities, including a
designers market and a gastronomic area, special lectures
and workshops, cinema and crafts and a full spectrum of
amusements and sports. Attendees gather in the scenic
area of Kolomenskoe (a former royal estate, which now is
a historical, architectural and nature reserve museum) to
enjoy the engaging and versatile surroundings for dier-
ent audiences, either for individuals or families. Although
music plays an enormous role at this festival, its not the
primary aim of the event.
The festival is organized by the Asha Magazine, a major
entertainment and listings biweekly. Over the years, Asha
Picnic has seen performances from Blur, Hole and Courtney
Love, Kaiser Chiefs, Marina and the Diamonds, Janelle Mo-
nae, Editors, Black Lips, Glass Candy, The Teenagers, These
New Puritans, Mumiy Troll, Zemra, Leningrad, Megapolis to
name just a few among more than 500 music acts that have
performed at the festival since its debut in 2004.
So what can we expect this year music-wise? Well, boys
and girls, get ready to put on your fanciest dancing shoes
because the kings of British funk and acid jazz Jamiroquai,
whose performances are marked by frontman Jay Kays
signature dancing and ying across the stage, are going
to make you party like its 1999! And thats only the cherry
on top of the icing. A soul-warming and mind-blowing
mix of psychedlic rock/synthpop/indietronica will be de-
livered to you as only the American band MGMT knows
how to. Alternative rock legends Suede, who helped foster
Britpop as a musical genre with their earlier works, will be
pleasing the crowd with full-on, non-stop barrage of hits,
bursting with energy. And last but certainly not least, our
Slavic brothers from Belorussia Lyapis Trubetskoy will de-
liver their own special brand of ska-punk and reggae with
tongue-in-cheek lyrical undertones that never fail to get
the crowd riled up and skanking (a form of dancing prac-
ticed in the ska, ska punk, hardcore punk, reggae music
scenes). So this year Moscows most happening music and
lifestyle festival is going to about the same as last years
but only better! Q Kolomenskoye Museum Estate, Pr.

The coolest thing (aside from the line-up, of course) is
the setting. Who wouldnt want to jump, dance, rave,
sing and mosh in such a historic place like the All-Russia
Exhibition Center, an architectural masterpiece with
fountains, amusement park rides and the huge space
rocket Vostok in the center of it all? So dont miss
the chance to let yourself go and have a truly fantastic
time to some truly fantastic bands in the peak heat of
Moscows summer. Q All Russian Exhibition Centre

SUBBOTNIK
Another newcomer, Subbotniks rst edition rocked Mos-
cows Gorky Park for the rst time only last year, yet already
many await it as eagerly as the Brits await Glastonbury. An
amazing line-up and truly European vibes have made ev-
eryone believe that the festival industry in Russia is nally
catching up with the countries that have been in this busi-
ness since the 1970s.
In 2013, Subbotniks organizers got none other than Arc-
tic Monkeys to come and headline (for the band it was
their rst ever gig in Russia), along with other not so trivial
names in the world of rock and electronica, such as Hurts,
Foals, Jessie Ware, Savages and Motorama.
This year doesnt look too disappointing either! On July
5th Gorky Park will be welcoming British alt rock heavy-
weights and a favorite among Russias crowd Placebo,
the authors of hits such as Every You, Every Me, Song
to Say Goodbye, Pure Morning, Special K, Meds and
The Bitter End that have dened a generation, along
with their compatriots Kasabian that boast a number
of awards (Brit Awards, NME Awards, Q Awards, Mojo
Awards and others) and whose albums have gone multi
platinum.
It seems as though Subbotnik has a British theme this
year because the other announced acts are Metronomy,
Miles Kane (ex-The Rascals) and the talented young singer/
songwriter Jamie Woon. Q B-5, Gorky Park, Ul. Krymsky

their way to knowledge, self-development and creativ-
ity. Workshops, trainings, meetings with craftsmen and

USADBA JAZZ
The largest outdoor jazz
funk, world music, acid-
jazz, lounge, jazz-rock and
blues festival in Russia to-
day is Usadba Jazz, which
welcomes more than
40,000 visitors eager to
soak in the performances
of the best local and inter-
national artists. Although
musical performances are
a key ingredient, many
people are attracted to this
festival thanks to its rich cultural and leisure program with
activities ranging from volleyball to board games and, of
course, the huge beautiful park with its breath-taking ar-
chitecture and surrounding nature, clean air and the relax-
ing summer vibe.
Usadba Jazz has introduced a myriad of world-class artists
to the Russian audience and has given it the chance to en-
joy a musical niche marked by masterful compositions and
highly skillful performances. Over the years, the festival
has proudly hosted names such as Marcus Miller, Avishai
Cohen Trio, Branford Marsalis Quartet, Charlie Hunter Trio,
The Brand New Heavies, Yusef Lateef & Belmondo Quintet
and this is just a tiny fraction of the virtuosos hailing from
all parts of the world!
This year there will be ve stages. The biggest one of
them is Parter, where the biggest names of the worlds
jazz and funk scene perform. Just so all our jazz-loving
fans know that this is no joke, this year the likes of Bugge
n Friends, Marcia Castro and Balkan Beat Box will get
their swing, funk and groove on. A separate stage has
been designated to the hottest names of the New Or-
leans scene, such as Donald Harrison (including the
Mardi Gras Indian suits), Les Getrex n Creole Cookin and
Tara Alexander.
Caprise stage is the territory of good ol rock n roll and
rockabilly and will have the pleasure of welcoming Ian Sie-
gal from the UK and The Betty Boop Lovers from Mother
Russia. And then theres the Jazz Club stage, which prom-
ises to be a real hit because this is where young musicians
will get to organize jam sessions with world famous artists.
As we move down to the river, DJs will be spinning the n-
est in contemporary electronica at the nal stage.
This festival has gained such popularity that in 2011 the
organizers began a Saint Petersburg edition and this
year theyll be taking it on the road. So dont sweat it if
youre not in Moscow to catch Usadba Jazz there are
show dates for Voronezh (June 28th), Ekaterinburg (July
5th) and Saint Petersburg (July 19th). Or just use it as a
great excuse to do some traveling around Russia!Q State

JUNE 27 - 29
PARK LIVE FESTIVAL
Come on down to the All-Russia Exhibition Center from
June 27th-29th and rock out at Park Live Festival, a big
festival for a big country. This festival was held for the
first time last year yet it is now an event that simply
cannot be missed, an event that demonstrates that it
is possible to hold a grandiose three-day festival within
the boundaries of a big city. Lets just have a look at the
monsters of rock and electronica it brought to Russia
last year: Limp Bizkit, Poets of the Fall, NOFX, Justice,
Ladytron, Pendulum, DJ Fresh, iamamiwhoami and
Trentemller.
This year, get ready another wave of awesomeness. The
rst day will be headlined by no other than the king of
darkness and brutality himself, Marilyn Manson along with
Skillet, a mega successful Christian rock band from the
States (dont worry, we are aware of the slight irony of put-
ting these two on the same day and the same stage!). Ex-
pect no ease up of the heaviness on the second day, when
Britains legendary rave/hardcore/industrial/breakbeat
group The Prodigy as well as Enter Shikari and Hollywood
Undead make an appearance on the Cosmos Stage, while
the Chemical Stage will be taken over by South Africas
rap-rave band Die Antwoord and Norways EDM talent
Savant.
Day 3 will see an epic finish to an epic line-up. Along
with Deftones, a highly distinguished alt metal band
and Californias finest, who will be headlining the Cos-
mos Stage, Wolfmother and Mastodon will make sure
you mosh your hearts out, as a more melodic and sen-
sual Lykke Li will be in charge of the Chemical Stage
with the help of Moderat giving the audience the best
of Berlins electronica.

SPARTAKS NEW HOME
July 24 is set to be a big date for fans of Spartak Moscow,
and anyone interested in how Russias 2018 World Cup
might look. Its due to be the grand opening of the new
Spartak Stadium called the Otkrytiye Arena following a
sponsorship deal with a local bank and will be the rst
time the 40,000-seater venue at Tushino is open to the
public.
However, the grand opening has already been thrown into
confusion. Plans to kick o with an exhibition game be-
tween Spartak and Dinamo Kiev, long-standing rivals from
the days of the Soviet Championship, were scuppered by
the political tensions between Russia and Ukraine. At the
time of writing a new opponent has not been announced,
although Spartak fans are keen to welcome Red Star Bel-
grade in honor of the long-standing friendship between
supporters of the two clubs.
Late July is also likely to bring the start of the Russian
Premier League season, which will feature Spartak and
Moscow rivals Lokomotiv, Dynamo and CSKA. Games
are usually shared between the Lokomotiv Stadium at
Cherkizovskaya and Arena Khimki in a suburb on the way
to Sheremetyevo Airport.

GET INVOLVED!
Summer is the perfect time to head to Moscows parks
and get some exercise. Gorky Park has long been the
favorite, and its beach volleyball courts tend to be
booked up fast. But its also a great spot to cycle or roll-
erblade, and the popular free table tennis is back again
this summer.
For the more energetic the Panda Park outdoor assault
courses are also back in business. These hair-raising
ropewalks through the trees can be found in sev-
eral dierent parks, including Tsaritsyno, Sokolniki and
Gorky. Dierent routes cater for dierent ages and t-
ness levels, and its just the thing for adventurous kids.
ful eye, pictures from the ephemera of the mass media
are collected, scanned and reworked into enduring art-
works. Each piece in the Biosphere cycle, for example,
took about three months to complete. The end result is far
removed from traditional understandings of collage; its a
fully integrated work in its own right.
Shangin, who was born in 1983, has been developing his
style since the mid-2000s. Earlier this year he completed
his more recent series, Nightlife, which explores the mys-
terious dreamworld of life after dark. His work perhaps falls
most neatly under the post-realism banner thanks to the
way it takes a heavily stylized, often hyper-realist view of
the world and then refashions this articial magazine re-
ality into an almost surrealist juxtaposition of diverse ele-
ments and symbols.
His works explore dierent environments especially the
nocturnal world, where Shangin believes people are free
to let their minds race towards the lives they wish to lead
or the timeless clash of materialist and emotional val-
ues, as seen in the series Need to be Loved. But its not all
high-brow concepts and forehead-furrowing philosophy.
These ultra-modern works of art represent perfect, dis-
tinctive accompaniments to the apartments and oces of
contemporary Moscow. The attraction, largely, stems from
the bright color and intricate detail something the artist
says can help banish depression by distracting the mind
from negative thoughts.

REVVING UP AT THE
RACEWAY
Petrolheads are gearing up for the summer action at the
Moscow Raceway. This year sees three big race meetings
including a chance to see Russias rst F1 driver Vitaly
Petrov in DTC action as well as the annual City Racing
event around the Kremlin Walls.
The city center event has become a xture of the sum-
mer calendar in Moscow and this years event on June 21
sticks to a tried and trusted formula. Starting and nishing
next to St. Basils Cathedral, drivers show o their skills on
a course which runs along the riverside before turning up
Ulitsa Mokhovka and pulling a sharp U-turn at the end of
Tverskaya and returning to the start line (the cobbles on
Red Square itself make it impossible for these vehicles to
attempt a full circuit). Formula One cars and KamAZ racing
trucks take pride of place in a downtown festival of speed
and power.
For those who prefer competitive events, though, the Mos-
cow Raceway is the place to go. Its a little way out of town,
near Volokolamsk, but the recently-opened track is steadily
establishing itself on the circuit for various racing contests.
This years highlight is probably the return of the DTM
(Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, or German Touring Car
Championship) for a second visit to Russia. Vitaly Petrov,
the Vyborg Rocket, is the local contender and hes hoping
for plenty of support on his home track.
However, the Russian racer only conrmed his rst season
in this competition in mid-April, and admitted he was in
for a baptism of re. DTM cars are very particular, he said,
and the level of competition is possibly even greater than
in Formula One. In qualifying there are only a few seconds
between the fastest and slowest drivers.That intense com-
petition, reinforced by the similarities between the vehicles
from dierent manufacturers, makes this event far more of
a test of driving as opposed to design skills. The DTM
event is on July 11-13.
Earlier the Raceway hosts a stage of the FIA World Tour-
ing Car Championship on June 7-8. Russias Lada Sport is
represented here and includes 2012 Champion Robert Hu
among its drivers as well as Russias Mikhail Kozlovsky. Last
years champion Yvan Muller is in a new car, the Citroen C-

From the cover of a magazine
A fantasy of illuminated trees and rockets racing to the
skies; a crazy Technicolor aquarium; a collection of made-
up faces interspersed with cosmetics; a spring forest
blooming on another planet: welcome to the imaginative
world of Russian artist Pavel Shangin.
This Volgograd-born creator of sumptuous collages has
earned increasing fame on the local art scene for his will-
ingness to plunder the glossy illustrations of magazines.
Having harvested the images he likes, he then reinvents
them into elaborate, colorful prints with a lifespan far be-
yond their initial week on the shelves. This is more than
just a parade of glamor and fashion; among Shangins
favorite sources of inspiration is the National Geographic-
style journal Vokrug Sveta (Around the World), with its
eye-catching array of ora, fauna and folk culture from all
corners of the globe. The impact of this is immediately evi-
dent in his Biosphere series, which explores and subverts
our natural world.
Dont be fooled by the word collage: this is no primary
school game with pots of glue and last seasons football
stickers. First there are months of scouring magazines for
the most suitable images. Then, under Shangins watch-

ARBAT STREET, ONE OF THE OLDEST STREETS
IN THE CITY AND MAIN ARTERIES OF MOSCOW,
IS NOT JUST A STREET. IT IS PART
OF THE RUSSIAN CULTURAL PSYCHE
AND HAS BEEN THE HEART OF MANY KEY
RUSSIAN EVENTS THROUGHOUT HISTORY.
IT IS SAID AMONGST RUSSIANS THAT
ONLY THOSE BORN ON ARBAT ARE TRUE
MUSCOVITES.
Old and New Arbat
HISTORY OF OLD ARBAT
Arbat has a diverse and rich residential history, ranging
from merchants and craftsmen, to aristocrats, to housing
the headquarters of the Tsars bodyguards, to becoming
the favourite haunt of Moscows intelligentsia (artists, au-
thors and academics etc), to Soviet ocials. The Arbat we
can see today has retained and protected its legacy as well
as keeping up with the times; statues have been erected
in memory of its famous inhabitants; several museums
are dotted along the street including the very at that
Pushkin used to live in; as well as concert halls and theatres,
street artists, souvenir shops and shops, restaurants, cafs
and bars.
HISTORY OF NEW ARBAT
When Nikita Krushchev was premier of the Soviet Un-
ion, his admiration of United States was reflected in
several of his antics, including his desire to make New
Arbat into a replica of both Broadway and Las Vegas,
complete with casinos, bright lights, colours and sky
scrapers. Built in 1968 and originally called Kalinin
Prospekt, New Arbat (Novy Arbat) used to be heralded
as an archetype of Soviet urban planning, but today is
more famous for being a bright and loud strip of eater-
ies, clubs and high end department stores such as the
brand made famous for designing the Russian Olympic
teams outfits, Bosco.
New Arbat regained its name in the 90s after the fall of
communism and has since expanded and grown to be-
come a modern thoroughfare in downtown Moscow.
Aside from this, New Arbat is a typical example of a Mos-
cow street, with the towering, Stalinist skyscrapers, juxta-
posing the beautiful, classical Russian Orthodox Church of
St Simeon Stolpnik. This church was turned into an animal
and bird exhibition during the Soviet era, but was restored
to its original purpose in the 90s.
THE BOULEVARD RING
With a circumference of 9km, the Boulevard Ring circles the
centre of Moscow. Taking approximately two hours to walk
the full circle, it is the perfect opportunity for visitors to the
city to take a leisurely stroll through the city and see various
sights, whilst still enjoying some leafy greenery.
Amongst the attractions include monuments to several of
Russias cultural forefathers such as Gogol, the playwright
Griboedev and Soviet bard Vladimir Vysotsky. The swim-
ming horses monument near Kropotkinskaya metro dedi-
cated to Mikhail Sholokhov, author of Quiet Flows the Don
is fantastically beautiful.
Planned out in the years after Moscow was almost entirely
burnt to the ground during the Napoleonic wars , the ring
replaced the original medieval walls that protected the
White City. As with much of Russias love of all things Euro-
pean, it was inspired by the boulevards of Paris and Austria.
Open air exhibitions are regularly held at dierent points
along the length of the boulevard.
THE GOGOL HOUSE
In the very center of Moscow near the Arbat Square, with
its stone arcades and balconies may seem like your aver-
age 18th century merchant mansion but there is a lot more
to it than meets the eye. This house has a very rich history
dating back to the early 17th century and had belonged
to families of boyars, courtiers, royal councilors, govern-
ment ocials, army generals and even the members of
the Tolstoy family. However, the most famous resident to
have ever inhabited this manor was none other than Niko-
lai Vasilievich Gogol, one of the most preeminent gures
of the natural school of Russian literary realism and author
of such classics as The Nose, Viy, The Overcoat, The
Government Inspector and, of course, Dead Souls. Wel-
come to the Gogol House Memorial Museum Science Li-
brary! Although he had only spent the last four years of his
life here, this is the place where the writer worked on the
second volume of Dead Souls. Here, he burnt the manu-
scripts of the poem. And in this very house, on February
21, 1852 the writer died. The Gogol House is the only place
in Moscow that keeps these momentous memories alive
by combining a research library of over 250.000 volumes,
a research centre, an exhibition hall and a memorial muse-

MAYAKOVSKY THEATRE
The Mayakovsky theatre
has a long history dating
back to 1920. Its stage
saw world-famous actors
such as Sarah Bernardt,
Eleonare Duse and Ernst
von Possart, and be-
cause of their presence
it was also known as the
International theatre.
Another person connected to the theatre was Vsevolod
Meyerhold, who had a huge inuence on modern thea-
tre in Russia, but - as many modernizers those days - died
in 1940 during Stalins purges. The theatre remains one
of Moscows favorite ones and its actors are among the
most famous in Moscow and Russia for that matter. The
Mayakovsky theatre stages classical pieces from Gogol,
Dostoevsky and Chekhov. One of the best plays, Talents
and Admirers, is a 19th century comedy by Russian play-
wright Alexander Ostrovsky, who was largely responsible
for reforming Russian theatre in the late 19th century. The
play is a humorous take on the nature of artistic talent, the
theatre, success and failure. In this performance the stage
is practically devoid of decoration and the audience be-
comes so involved in the lively performance of the actors
that you barely notice the absence of it. The only item on
the stage is a Russian samovar, symbolizing Russian daily
life. QB-3, Bol. Nikitskaya ul. 19/13, MArbatskaya, tel.

dreds of hand-painted tiles, all expounding on the theme of
international friendship; Victor Tsois Wall, a unique place of
pilgrimage for fans of the cult Soviet rock musician who died
aged 28. Just after turning onto Nikitsky boulevard, from
Arbatskaya Ploschad, on the right hand side of the street, is
an antique shop, which holds fascinating trinkets, that wink
at passers by from the window displays beckoning them in.
THEATRES
AND CONCERT HALLS
In order to perform the many masterpieces of all Russias fa-
mous writers and musicians, there are many concert halls and
theatres throughout Moscow, and The Arbat area is no ex-
ception. Old Arbat itself is home to the well known Vakhtan-
gov Theatre, easily recognised by the gold statue of Princess
Turandot outside. The Vakhtangov Theatre, was originally the
studio of Chekhovs close friend and mentor, Yevgeny Bagra-
tionovich Vakhtangov, and was named in honour of him four
years after his death. It is celebrated for its artists impecca-
ble skills and rst rate performances, which are a broad mix
of both Russian and foreign classical and modern plays. For
music lovers, about 150m down from the Greater Church of
the Ascension on the right hand side of Bolshaya Nikitskaya
Street, is The Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. It is one
of the most famous concert venues in the world, known not
just for the beautifully decorated interior, but also for its or-
gan: The Organ Cavaille-Coll, which was regarded as one of
the best in the world during the Paris exhibition of 1900.
CURRENT DAY ARBAT
Today in 2014, the cobbles of Old Arbat may remain the same,
but the craftsmen and authors have moved on. In their place
Arbat boasts an impressive array of cafes, restaurants and bars.
Walking down the street, visitors are presented with a carni-
val of portrait artists, caricaturists, living statues, circus acts or
musicians and street vendors. Although visitors beware! Whilst
the souvenirs may look beautiful, the prices are much higher
than those at other markets like Izmailovo, so be prepared to
bargain and haggle your way to a price you deem reasonable.
STATUES
There are many statues along Arbat and the surrounding
area, with the poet Pushkin being one of the most popular
subjects. Outside the Pushkin Memorial Apartment, stands
a happy statue of the married Pushkin and his wife Natalya.
One statue almost impossible to miss, is the gold fountain
monument to Princess Turandot outside the Vahtangov The-
atre. Moscows favourite bard, Bulat Okudzhava, who wrote
many poems and odes dedicated to the street, is also im-
mortalised in bronze on the corner of Krivoarbatsky Pereulok
and Arbat. Gogols statue is located on Nikitsky Boulevard,
with the names of his characters engraved on the pedestal.
THINGS TO DO
As well as multiple restaurants and bars, there are several other
attractions in the Arbat area, such as Moscows White House
on New Arbat, the home of Moscows government and down
the little side street of Malaya Molchanovka, is the Lermontov
House Museum, the house where the Hero of Our Timenov-
elist spent some of his last years before he died of septicaemia,
and one of the few surviving wooden buildings in Moscow.
The October cinema, which was built to mark the 50th an-
niversary of the October Revolution can also be found on
New Arbat, and across the river, over the Novoarbatsky Bridge,
stands the Hotel Ukraina, one of Stalins forbiddingly beautiful
and impressive Seven Sisters, skyscrapers which were built in
1947 to commemorate Moscows 800th anniversary. (Another
one of the Seven Sisters, housing the ministry of Foreign Aairs
is located at the end of Arbat, on Smolenskaya.)
Following the Pushkin trail, walking about 200 metres up Ni-
kitsky Boulevard visitors will come across the Greater Church
of the Ascension, where Pushkin married his young wife,
Natalya Goncharova. A pleasant walk up the rest of Tverskoy
Boulevard, about 1.5km, will then bring you to Pushkinskaya,
where yet another statue of the Moscows beloved writer sits

favourite lm. The varied menu oers anything from
pizzas to steak, sandwiches, salads as well as some tasty

ZAMOSKVORECHYE
Zamoskvorechye, a neighbourhood in the centre of Moscow,
spans multiple centuries: here one may be just as likely to
nd 18th century wooden structures ghting for real estate
on the same street as a glittering 21st century business cen-
tre or hotel. The contrast is undoubtedly one of this districts
charms, as is the collection of churches and museums, with-
out the tourist hordes one could nd across the river. Indeed,
the name of the neighbourhood means across the river, liter-
ally, on the right or southern bank from the Kremlin.
This area was rst settled in the 14th century. In its early
days the district was the home to various communities,
enclaves, and professional quarters. Ul. Bolshaya Ordynka
is a testament to this neighbourhoods Tatar past as Orda
refers to the Golden Horde. Royal garden attendants and
mint workers, tanners, soldiers of the streltsy (armed Rus-
sian guard units from the 16th-18th centuries), as well as
court translators all made their homes in the area. In the
time of Peter the Great, much of the court was transferred
to St. Petersburg and Zamoskvorechye experienced signi-
cant depopulation, with the area being resettled by farmers
and merchants. Many wealthy businessmen moved in be-
ginning in the 18th century (they were particularly concen-
trated on Pyatnitskaya Ul. and Ordynka Ul.) and they made
their imprint by building churches, such as the 1755 Church
of the Saviour on Bolvany.
CHURCHES
CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION IN KADASHI
Once the tallest building in Zamoskvorechye, this church
is in need of quite a bit of restoration, but then again the
last few centuries have been a bit of a bumpy ride. Since
its construction in 1687 in the Moscow Baroque style, it has
been robbed, vandalized, and used as a stable by Napo-
leonic troops, a KGB archive and a recreational club for a
nearby sausage factory. Its bell, which supposedly weighed
over six tonnes, is rumoured to be kept in the Bolshoy Thea-
tre and used for productions of Boris Godunov. Attempts in
recent years to knock down historical buildings surround-
ing the church and replace them with a luxury apartments
and oces were met with complaints from locals. The
threat of being surrounded by apartment blocks still looms,
but inside, the churchs icons and friezes are as quiet as if
none of this history had ever happened.
ST. CLEMENTS CHURCH
Contrary to what the name might suggest this is actually a
Russian Orthodox church, one of two in the city named for
a Roman pope and the main church of Zamoskvorechye.
Nowadays the churchs ve domes and two stories are
bright and gleaming, its baroque exterior an iconic pinkish
red. But like many other such historical buildings, it found
itself hanging on by the skin of its teeth during the Soviet
years when authorities had it earmarked for demolition and
transformation into a kindergarten. After escaping that fate
it was then used to store books for the Lenin State Library
and only in 2008 did it return to the Orthodox Church. The
churchs glittering exterior is matched by its renowned and
beautifully decorated interior that contains a number of
icons and an especially good example of an iconostasis.
MUSEUMS
OSTROVSKY MUSEUM
Some have called him the
Russian Shakespeare, and
his output and national im-
portance are indeed compa-
rable, writing an impressive
forty-seven plays, still the
bread and butter of Russian
repertoire. Yet Alexander
Ostrovsky (1823-1886) still remains overlooked abroad. This
modest wooden house is where the playwright was born
and the surrounding area inspired the young Ostrovsky, who
made his literary debut with sketches about Zamoskvorechye
merchant life. Like many writers of his time, he found that
making a literary career was a case of exasperating conict
and compromise with the censors, who would often take
years to approve a play, only to return it in a state that was
hardly recognisable. If already well versed in Ostrovskys works
you will appreciate the thorough documentation of perfor-
mances of his plays in photographs. Even the uninitiated can
enjoy the numerous set design sketches on display. As one of
Russias most performed playwrights, Ostrovskys plays have
taken on many guises over the years and the plans for back-
drops and scenery are works of art in themselves.
FOREST MUSEUM
An atmospheric museum about one of Russias greatest assets
and passions. Forests have been at the heart of the Rus peo-
ple since before anyone had considered building the Kremlin
and to this day they remain vast and unexplored to quite an
extent. Part of the museum is concerned with this last point
and the worry that in actual fact the forests might not be as
permanent as we would like. Other displays include miniature
models of traditional wooden buildings, some slightly baed-
looking stued forest wildlife and plenty on forest science, ac-
companied by a soothing soundtrack of birdsong and trickling
brooks. Eort has obviously gone into the appearance of the
place and its quite an attractive museum.
CONSENSUAL THERAPY
Funky Lab invents all of its meals so that they make
great combinations with wines. For example, white
asparagus salad and chips with jerk beef sommelier
should be combined with a pink Californian Zinfan-
del or New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Pulp mutton
ham, whole baked in the oven with mashed sweet
potatoes are oered with a light Tempranillo (Muga)
or Gamay Burgundy. Three phase gazpacho is laid out
in layers. The bar serves it own smoothies Lab is, in-
spired by the chewing gum Love is.

The area was wracked by oods in the late 1700s and the be-
ginning of the 1800s, and as a result, land here was among the
most aordable in Moscow. After the construction of a dam in
the 1830s the threat was reduced and industry started to settle
in. After the reforms of 1861 that led to the freeing of the serfs,
the area became a working class stronghold. The largest col-
lection of Russian art in the world and Moscows most popular
museum is located in Zamoskvorechye. Founded by merchant
Pavel Tretyakov in the 1850s, today approximately one million
visitors walk through the doors of the Tretyakov Gallery annu-
ally. Containing more than 130,000 works the gallery is located
on Lavrushinsky Pereulok adjacent to the Church of St. Nicho-
las in Tolmachi. A separate exhibit on Russian art of the 20th
century is located in a dierent building on ul. Krymsky Val.
Here you can nd 18th century wood-
en structures ghting for real estate
on the same street as a glittering 21st
century business centre or hotel.
One particular building of interest in Zamoskvorechye is The
House on the Embankment, an enormous apartment build-
ing in downtown that faces Bersenevskaya Embankment
on one side and ul. Seramovicha on the other. It was built
from 1927 - 1931 as a residence for the Soviet elite. Writer Yuri
Trifonov, who lived in the building from 1931 - 1939, wrote
an eponymous novel that details the lives of the residents in
the complex in the 1930s, many of whom were killed during
Stalins purges. During Soviet times it was notable for hav-
ing separate telephone connections, a laundry, and a club
for residents. The building currently has 505 apartments and
oces, a theatre, a cinema, restaurants, and stores.
Shortly after the Revolution the Bolsheviks closed and
looted many of Zamoskvorechyes churches, although 17
managed to survive the wrecking ball. The socialist love of
concrete nally came to the neighbourhood and highrise
blocks have started appearing in the last two decades.

Where to eat Where to eat
Within the same Moscow city block you can nd both good
and bad service, ve-star ne dining and hot dog snack
vans. Muscovites love going out, so most restaurants tend
to ll up quickly. To be sure of getting a table, make sure to
book in advance. Be aware that many restaurants morph
into bars and clubs in the later hours of the evening, so
make early reservations if you want some peace and quiet.
Tipping is one Western tradition that Russians are making
their own. Tip for good service only - around ten percent
is considered fair.

CAFE CHEKHOV
Sitting next to the Chekhov theatre, the interior here has
been inspired by the great playwrights era. The dining
room is decorated in beautiful bright white with art nou-
veau cornices, stained glass lamps and even the waitresses
wear Edwardian costume. Chekhov boasts to serve new
Russian cuisine, although in our book theres nothing Rus-
sian about pasta and ruccola. Their version of borsch with
apples in it is however a welcome innovation. Service can
be frustratingly slow at times so dont be shy with the sta.

RUSSIAN SUMMER MENU
The typical Russian menu may usually be full of hearty
warm soups, pies and dumplings to help one get
through the bitterly cold winter months, but come
summer some special warm weather dishes also make
their way on to the Russian menu.
Drinks. Typical homemade summer drinks include
kvass and mors. Kvass is a very specic eastern
European drink that only ever usually appears in sum-
mer. Made from fermented rye bread, this soft drink
has a very distinct taste that is kind of like beer but not
and yes, you can really taste the bread in there too.
As summer is berry season mors, a bitter berry drink
served very cold is also very popular in summer as are
other sweeter berry juice based drinks known as kom-
pot, which can be made from practically any berry that
you may nd.
Soups. Russian cuisine revolves around soups and
many of the classic Russian soups such as borsch may
often turn up cold. Borsch even has a special sour tast-
ing brother called Shavelyevy soup which is made
from sorrel (shavel) which usually grows in June/July.
Ukha or sh soup is a popular warm soup in summer
as like elsewhere many Russians like to spend a sum-
mers day shing on the countrys lakes or river. The
ultimate classic Russian summer soup though is okros-
hka. Okroshka usually consists of dierent boiled veg-
etables such as carrots or potatoes, fresh cucumbers
and heaps of dill, parsley and spring onions. Dierent
meats or boiled eggs are also often added and then
the whole thing is topped o with plenty of kvass or
sometimes even ker (a kind of natural sour milk). It is
as it sounds, quite an acquired taste
The main course. Salads are universally popular year
round in Russia, seeing as they are one of the simplest
staples of Russian cuisine, but come summer the real
powerhouse of the Russian table is the shashlik (shish
kebab). Marinated in dierent herbs and spices and then
grilled over an open re, the smell of sizzling shashlik is
the sign that summer has truly arrived. As the dish actu-
ally originates from the south it is often accompanied
with Caucasian sauces such as adzhika (a kind of spicy
ketchup) as well as raw onions and a handful of zelen
(green herbs such as parsley and dill). In Russian style a
piece of rye bread is also a popular accompaniment. As
it is technically their national dish, Caucasian restaurants
usually serve up the best shashliks.

PALESW
INTERVIEW WITH THE CHEF
Please tell us some-
thing about yourself.
My name is Aleksei Lyalin
and I am the head chef
of the Marriot Moscow
Tverskaya Hotel. I began
my professional career
as a chef in 1998 in the
restaurant of the Holiday
Inn Vinogradovo and in
the course of the last 16
years I have worked with some of Europes leading chefs
including Paul Bocuse and Pierre Troisgros, acquiring ex-
perience in dierent restaurants around Moscow as well
as further aeld. At the Marriot Moscow Tverskaya Hotel
I will be responsible Grazzi restaurant and for the Lobby
Bar and am developing new menus for our guests.
What new dishes are you going to oer guests of
the Marriott Moscow Tverskaya Hotel? I have gone
over the menu for the Marriot Mosow Tverskaya and
will be adding some delicious new dishes for our pa-
trons. For those who want a truly Russian delicacy, we
will have ukha which is a Russian soup. We will also
have a Russian style burger. In terms of salads, patrons
can enjoy our fennel avocado salad with grapefruit
segment, and to nish it all o they can try our straw-
berry with sabayon sauce
What specic Russian dish would you recommend
to foreign visitors of Russia? When it comes to really
nice Russian cuisine I have always loved Beef Stroga-
no which rst appeared in Russia in the mid 19th
century and has become one of Russias most popular
exports. Grichka or buckwheat with mushrooms and
onions is another standard Russian favourite which
seems to be practically unknown elsewhere and is
particularly good as it is gluten free and has a deli-
cious earthy taste. Ukha sh soup is also a favourite
Russian soup and is less well known than borsch
which is Ukrainian anyway! And of course strawber-
ries with sabayon sauce make for the perfect dessert.
KON-TIKI
The younger sister of the Tiki Bar (the rst Hawaiian bar in
Moscow), although Kon-Tiki is more of a restaurant than a bar,
it is still denitely one of the more exotic places in Moscow.
So if you are looking for a bite to eat and a bit of fun, look no
further than Kon-Tiki and its island grill. Guests are surround-
ed by typical Hawaiian wooden carvings and an impressive
aquarium that runs the length of the wall - this is truly Hawaii
in Moscow. The authentic Hawaiian style cocktails are moder-
ately priced, so forget your worries and enjoy the rhythm of a
salsa or rumba, whilst sipping on the Aztec Surfboard or Gin-
ger Mango Punch, delicious!QC-2, Ul. Rozhdestvenka 5/7,

over the whole of Moscow and admire the iconic seven sisters
skyscrapers spreading out into the distance. Sky Lounge re-
ally has the monopoly on the one-of-a-kind panorama. The
menu meets up to the general experience by being lled
with well-crafted dishes covering a wide range of cuisines ex-
pertly. Many of the dishes are truly delightful and the portions
are more generous than you will see almost anywhere else.

TOWN HOUSE
A welcoming interior, an unpretentious European chic and
a menu that borrows something from cuisines of every
continent make this restaurant a must for hotel guests and
locals alike. The head chef has a special knack for every-
thing grilled so a steak or grilled sh/seafood simply can-
not be missed! An aprs lunch or dinner coee/tea can be
best enjoyed in the bar area with its dimmed down lights,
extra comfortable arm chairs and a growing library in the
upstairs area, which is also suitable for cocktail receptions
and other events ranging from book readings to jazz band
performances.QD-6, Mercure Moscow Paveletskaya

it makes up for with its menu and darkly intimate atmosphere.
The crispy pizzas here are particularly delectable and fortu-

SUMMER TERRACES
Summer is nally here and what a wonderful time it is
to be living it up on the citys many summer terraces
and beer gardens. In Moscow youve a whole range
of places that you can perch up at and enjoy the sun.
From May until September Moscow is lled with al fres-
co drinking and dining options - from the cafes lined up
along Moscows main walking streets Stary Arbat and
Kamergersky pereulok, to the open roofs and balconies
of old factories and swanky high rise shopping centres
and on into the secluded gardens and courtyards of
the citys back streets. Moscow In Your Pocket picks out

MOMO
This Italian restaurant perhaps denes itself a little too nar-
rowly - although specialising in pizza and homemade fresh
pasta, it has a strong selection of sh and meat too, served
in a style that wouldnt be out of place in an upmarket British
restaurant. Be careful though - the massive choice of seafood
comes priced by the 100g, and its dicult not to get carried
away! The wine list prides itself on its selection of French and
Italian vintages, but its fresh juices look equally appetising.
Its business-class clientele are dispersed across three rooms,
with its most spacious resembling a summer terrace, com-
plete with wicker chairs. QD-5, Pyatnitskaya ul. 66, bldg. 2,

SORRISO OSTERIA AND PIZZERIA
The real winner here is the pizza - its long and incredibly
thin and arrives at your table straight after being cooked to
a crispy delight in a stone wood-red oven. There are also
other Italian favourites on oer, but we are always tempted
by the pizza. The smart sta and a soundtrack that for once
does not include songs by Eros Ramazotti adds yet more
fresh air to the usual formula.QC-2, Tverskaya ul. 7, MOk-

BOGDARNYA
Do you need a break from constant meetings, trac,
calls, emails, car alarms going o, drilling and everything
else that big city life entails? Are you tired of all the GMO
and chemical-pumped produce that all the supermar-
kets seem to be selling? If your answer is yes, why not
get back to nature, breathe some fresh country air and
try a taste of agritourism! Interested? Then a great place
to do this is at the Bogdarnya Agricultural and Touristic
Complex.
This 400-hectare riverside property is located in the pic-
turesque countryside and forest about 120 kilometres
east of Moscow (in Vladimir region, near the town Pe-
tushki), providing the chance to experience life on a real,
working farm that supplies meat to its own farm shop
in Moscow. Here you can learn all about meat produc-
tion from paddock to plate, watch cheese making, milk
the cows, pet the goats, feed Boris the boar and engage
yourself in other forms of educational agritainment.
Bogdarnya also provides a wide range of recreational
activities, including horse riding, quad biking, shing,
canoeing, hiking, paintball and more.

The Bogdarnya Vladimir Track festival is a traditional
village celebration with sleigh rides in winter and coach
rides in summer. The festival is dedicated to Russias
main road the Vladimir (or Siberian) Track.
Bogdarnya also has two stables mostly with Russian
breeds of horses including Vyatki, Donchaki, Orlov trot-
ters and Vladimir Heavy Draft which were all used on the
track in former times either for riding or harness work.
Visitors can enjoy any type of equestrian activity from
short 30 minute rides for beginners with a trainer to lon-
ger three hour rides, as well as coach rides, sledge rides.
The facility can also support classical equestrian sport
with three parade elds.
The complex also hosts childrens camps, career guid-
ance programs for school students, plus corporate
events, training and seminars. Russian holidays are cel-
ebrated in fairytale folksy fashion with traditional cos-
tumes, music, dancing and much good old-fashioned
merriment. On a more romantic note, one can also ar-
range a ride in the forest using one of their horse drawn
carriages, or sleighs in winter and have a picnic around
a re with samovar, gluxvin and shashlik. A 22-room on-
site hotel is soon to reopen in a recently renovated and
extended building on the property.

The complex was founded by an Englishman, John Ko-
piski, and his Russian wife Nina. The Kopiskis are devoted
Orthodox Christians with a mission to promote a healthy
lifestyle, so a visit to Bogdarnya is an entirely wholesome
retreat that benets both body and soul!

Every foreigner coming to Moscow will almost always
have the following stereotype: Russia is the coldest coun-
try in the world, where winter lasts for four to ve months
throughout the larger part of its territory. And true as it
may be, the stereotype forgets to mention how beautiful,
blooming and hot our summers can be!
Typically, our summers dont last more than three months
so when it nally arrives we just love to do everything out-
doors: cyclists, rollers and skateboarders cut through the
city streets, a huge number of cafes set up their own sum-
mer terraces on the streets and locals spend time walking
along the river, which is one of the best places to marvel at
the beautiful sunset.
Many Muscovites respond to the summer heat by spend-
ing as much time out of the city as possible, either on
holiday or at the dacha. Not everyone is lucky enough to
have a dacha, however. So weve decided to compile a little
list of really cool and cooling restaurants outside the city,
in the nature, to make the most of your Russian summer
experience.
ERMAK
A tranquil setting in the beautiful Russian nature, a lively
little stream owing from the lush forest, traditional Rus-
sian huts and wells reminding us of the olden days and
a serene river providing a nice fresh breezesounds like

Ermak restaurant, located just a short distance away from
Moscows Krylatskoe metro station. The interior has an
authentic medieval Russian feel to it while the summer
veranda - under the soft shade of the trees - overlooks the
river and the gently rolling hills. The menu is full of hearty
Russian delicacies such as soups, pies, pickled vegetables,
pelmeni and meats/sh prepared over hot burning coal.

FISH POINT

to get his food himselfor are they? Fish Point, located in
the Zolotoi Fazan shing complex about 10km northwest

hands on some shing rods and try their luck at catching
roughly 15 dierent types of freshwater sh. From its spa-
cious and country style terrace, the restaurant overlooks
the lovely Lipka river and the luscious forest surrounding
it. Fresher sh is probably impossible to come by any-
where in the Moscow area and the chefs have their own
unique way of preparing all sorts of delicacies from various
seas and lakes. QNovorizhskoe Shosse, 29km, MVolo-

MYBAR
This is not another elitny hangout with generic Moscow
cocktails and pounding music. My Bars philosophy is to
create a welcoming venue for friendly people who are

MyBar is well and truly a dive bar; especially popular with
expats and local oce workers looking for a post-work
drink and some fun, it oers a refreshingly laid-back
alternative to Moscows glamour dominated nightlife
scene. The music selection varies vastly, but is usually a
good mix of golden oldies, with some great pop and rock
classics to dance to at the weekend. Live music nights on
Thursdays with free concerts from rock and blues bands.
The happy hours, charismatic owner and relaxed open-
ing hours (stay as long as you like!) have made it a hit
with both locals and stars such as the Crazy Horse caba-
ret, and Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit fame with his band
Black Light Burns. Be prepared to queue a little to get in

described as a hipster disco) starting at about 22.00. This
is where the crisis of genre comes in: this place changes
its format multiple times throughout the day. It is absurdly
aordable for its location. On the recent night that we
went, we were luckily able to get a table and were treated
to service and food that usually costs a whole lot more in
a location like this. The soups, steaks and seafood dishes

attention span. On quieter evenings it can be a nice venue
for drinks with friends, albeit a little too young for some.
Come weekends theres a much more Europop vibe as the

someone else owns a mansion. Suitably cool and unaf-
fected, a lot of Russians sit around chilling out and ignor-
ing each other while lounging on or dancing over the mis-
matched furniture. Just arrive early enough so you dont
have to wait in line. Dont forget to carefully put together
your hipster uniform to ensure you pass the cooler-than-
thou dress code control - even if you were eating here
earlier in the day, they will still force you through the or-
deal later on. QD-3, Ul. Solyanka 11/6, bldg. 1, MKitay

COCKTAIL BARS
DREAM BAR
The name Dream Bar may create an image of a very chic,
strictly face controlled cocktail bar, however the reality is
close to a cosy, jolly pub, despite billing themselves as a
cocktail bar, a pint seems to be an equally popular poison
of choice. Whilst the cocktail list is long and detailed, the
prices are reasonable and the drinks themselves are inven-
tive and tasty. A popular hangout at the end of the day
for the after-work crowd, the atmosphere is relaxed and
the music ambient and mellow. However all this changes
come the weekend, when the loud pumping dance mu-
sic, indicates its time to take o the ties and let your hair
down.QD-2, Myasnitskaya ul. 17, bldg.1, MChistye

SECRET BAR
Who would guess that a discreet door down an alley of
one of Moscows fanciest shopping streets hides one of
Moscows most popular cocktail bars? They would be
even more surprised by the democratic door policy and
cheap prices! These factors may help explain why Secret
Bar (hence the name) is packed with a hip and fun-loving
crowd on the weekends, and those looking to savour a
well-crafted cocktail or hookah during the weeknights.
On the busy nights it can take a while to get a drink, but
the cocktails are worth the wait, and with these prices,
you can order a few at a time!QC-2, Stoleshnikov per. 6,

THE HUDSON BAR
This smart American bar brings some much needed atten-
tion to the after work drinks crowd of the big money White
Square business centre. The expat owner has thankfully held
back from hiking up the prices and trying to instill some elit-
ism and instead has created a bar thats great for those arriv-
ing alone to perch at the long bar or with a gang to colonise
one of the booths - regardless of their budget and dress code.
A myriad of sports channels (including US ones) and happy
hour deals are yet more bonuses, although unfortunately for
inexplicable reasons the sports channels sadly dont always
work.QA-1, Ul. Butyrsky Val 10, MBelorusskaya, tel. (+7)

TIKI-BAR
In Maori mythology, Tiki was the rst man, and in Moscow
Tiki is the very rst real Hawaiian themed bar. The inspira-
tion for the hip interior, complete with palm trees, rotan
furniture, masks and of course boats, has been taken di-
rectly from the popular Tiki bars, which originated in the
Americas at the beginning of the 20th century. For those
who want a true taste of Hawaii, there are over 100 choices
of rum as well as an exotic choice of cocktails - denitely
a tropical menu! Tiki is a good party place, especially for
those who love to dance, hosting many Latin American
themed parties along with masterclasses in Latin Ameri-
can, Brazilian and salsa dancing.QA-2, Sadovaya-Kudrin-

What to see What to see
THE KREMLIN
The street plan of central Moscow forms an impressively
ordered pattern of concentric circles, clearly marking
the citys development outwards over the centuries. In
the middle of this great Catherine wheel is the Kremlin,
the fortied hill which formed the heart of the ancient
city, and which to this day houses the political HQ of
the planets largest nation. Within the world-famous red
walls nestles a collection of buildings of various architec-
tural styles, ranging from ancient Russian ecclesiastical,
through Romanov imperial classicism, to 1960s Soviet
modernism. While much is out of bounds to tourists, be-
ing part of the Government and Presidential estate, there
are easily enough treasures open to the public to make the
citadel an essential conquest.
Unlike Napoleon, who stayed here after his forces took
Moscow in 1812, you will need a ticket to enter. There are
a number of ticket booths, the most important being lo-
cated in Alexandrovsky Sad (on the west side of the Krem-
lin), which in itself is a great people watching place. Having
bought your tickets, leave any large bags in the cloakroom
located near the ticket oce, under the gate.
A Kremlin Territory ticket gets you into the site itself,
along with all of the cathedrals and the more ancient
buildings. To visit the Kremlin Armoury (where all the spar-
kly diamonds, jewels and so on are stored) you must buy a
separate - and considerably more expensive - ticket, which
will have an entrance time on it. This ticket can only be
purchased before you enter the Kremlin.
Note that some buildings - in particular the Patriarchs
Palace - sometimes host special exhibitions, entrance for
which you must pay extra. The tickets for special exhibi-
tions can usually be bought at the entrance to the build-
ings in which they are held, although it is advisable to
check before you enter the Kremlin.
Inside the Kremlin
Cathedral of the Archangel Michael. A relative young-
ster on the Kremlin church scene, this cathedral was erected
in 1505 and holds the tombs of Russian rulers from Ivan I to
Tsar Ivan V. It also has more of an Italian renaissance feel to it
with its Corinthian gables and turrets and white stonework.
Annunciation Cathedral. This imposing cathedral,
where Russias Tsars were christened and married, was
built by Pskov architects in 1482. The frescoes inside are
considered to be some of the most valuable in Moscow
given that prominent artists of the time including Andrey
Rublyev (also buried here), Theophanes the Greek and
Prokhor of Gorodetz all worked on them.
Church of the Deposition of the Robes. Taking its
name from an ancient festival where the Virgins robes
are transferred from Palestine to Constantinople (now
Istanbul), this is a more modest cathedral nestled in a cor-
ner. Built in 1484 - 1485 by artists from Pskov, this church
notably has stained glass windows. Along with some ne
icons, inside you can also nd wooden sculptures from the
15th century.
Cathedral of the Assumption. The grandfather of all the
Kremlin churches, the Assumption Cathedral is the oldest
and the biggest. Built in 1475 by Italian architect Aristo-
tle Fiorovanti, this is where Ivan the Terrible was crowned
Emperor in 1547 before becoming a stable for Napoleons
horses in 1812. Their soldiers made o with the chandeliers
now hanging overhead, some weighing over 5 tonnes.
The cossacks brought them back after they caught up
with the light-ngered Frenchmen. In 1918 the last Easter
service was held here. Services resumed in 1990.
NEXT TO RED SQUARE
ALEXANDROVSKY GARDENS
The gardens in front of the Kremlin walls are an excellent to
take a stroll and get down to some serious people watch-
ing as well as admire the sheer scale and immense size of
the Kremlin walls and towers. The biggest essential sight
of the gardens is the tomb of the unknown soldier near to
the entrance to Red Square. A high-kicking guard change
ceremony takes place here every hour in front of the eternal
ame.QC-2, Alexandrovsky sad, MAlexandrovsky Sad.
KREMLIN ARMOURY
You need a separate ticket for the Armoury, the 19th
Century museum purpose-built to house the nations
gob-smacking collection of gold, silver, arms and impe-
rial clothes and carriages. Highlights of the collection are
the giant Orlov diamond and the infamous and rarely
glimpsed Faberge eggs. To prevent overcrowding, Ar-
moury tickets can only be used after the time printed on
them. They do not give access to the rest of the Kremlin.
Q-2, MAlexandrovsky Sad, tel. (+7) 495 697 03 49,

chased an hour before the seance at the Kremlin ticket
ofce in Alexandrovsky sad.
LENIN MAUSOLEUM
On display in various incarnations of his mausoleum since
1924, this is where the waxy, bald and embalmed body of the
founder of the Communist Party is. Visiting here is a no-non-
sense event with guards posted at each corner to prod you
forward should you halt at any stage during the viewing. No
bags. No cameras. Theyll search your pockets to make sure
you dont sneak anything. Leave bags in the storage lockers
before going through the metal detectors, he may be dead
but you cant mess with him.QC-2, Red Square, MOkhotny

ST. BASILS CATHEDRAL (POKROVSKY SOBOR)
Standing magnicent at the head of Red Square is St. Ba-
sils Cathedral. Russias most recognisable building was
built in 1561 to celebrate Ivan the Terribles crucial defeat
of the Khan of Kazan, a victory which secured Moscows
position as the regions dominant city. While the view from
outside is spectacular and rightly famed, it is certainly also
worth a visit inside. Visitors used to the vast open spaces
of Western European cathedrals will be shocked to nd a
stone warren of small, intimate chapels, each decorated
with countless icons and engravings and soaring in one
direction only: upwards, to the height of the onion domes
above. Russias history is all about a country being simul-
taneously tugged towards the west and the east. A visit
inside St Basils gives an invaluable lesson on the impor-
tance and undoubted attractions of the latter.QC-2, Red

RIVER CRUISES
FLOTILLA RADISSON ROYAL MOSCOW
A cruise along the Moscow-River is one of the best
ways to see the city from its very centre, with unpar-
alleled views of the sites on both banks. Casting o,
we leave behind the Moscow International Business
centre. Beside the pier is the Ukraina Hotel, the sec-
ond tallest of Stalins Seven Sisters. Across the river
is the other White House, the house of the Russian
government. A few minutes sailing takes us to the
Novodevichy Convent. Under its walls, Tolstoys Kitty
and Levin of Anna Karenina met whilst skating, in re-
ality, its cemetery houses the graves of Chekhov and
Yeltsin and many others. Its pink and white baroque
walls are faced by the thickening forest of the opposite
bank, leading into Sparrow Hills park.
The silhouette of a hammer and sickle peeks out
above the treetops, a glimpse of the gargantuan struc-
ture of Moscow State University, the worlds tallest
educational building and the big sister of the seven.
Passing Luzhniki Stadium, we reach the green banks of
fashionable Gorky Park.
At the diversion of the river into the Vodootvodny
Canal stands the controversial statue to Peter the Great
marking three hundred years of the Russian navy. Its
creator, Georgian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli, also headed
the reconstruction of the Church of Christ the Saviour
opposite. Looking at its imposing domes, its hard to
believe that this was once a gigantic outdoor pool.
On Bolotny Island, towering over the rainbow-co-
loured arches and golden domes of the St Nicholas
church, is the House on the Embankment, built to
house the Soviet elite.
From the river weve got perfect views of the Kremlin and
the churches huddled inside it as we arrive at the heart of
Moscow and perhaps Russia itself. Even after half a mil-
lennia St Basils idiosyncratic domes are still breathtaking;
legend has it that its architects were blinded to stop them
making something so beautiful ever again.

CHURCHES AND
MONASTERIES
CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR
This is what a new Russian Orthodox church ought to
look like. It is so immense youll be wondering how many
blocks of dynamite the Soviets needed to get rid of the
thing the rst time around. That was in 1931. This newly
restored example came into being from 1994 until 2000
and is a shiny beacon for the Russian Orthodox Church
at home and a close replica of the original 19th Century
cathedral built in honour of the victory over Napoleon.
The sprawling cathedral houses a museum on the his-
tory of the site where you can see pictures of the giant
swimming pool the Soviets built here and the huge Lenin
topped skyscraper they had originally planned for. During
excursions (minimum 10 people) you can see the cathe-
dral, museum and the view from the collonade. QB-3, Ul.

Russian adoration for stat-
ues and immense monu-
ments, it is a fascinating
place and hunting around
for the famous graves is
almost as much fun as ac-

NOVODEVICHY MONASTERY
Monastery or convent, this place occupies a very specic
place in Russian history. On the grounds surrounded by
the Kremlinesque walls, which were built to act as a for-
tress, are four cathedrals including the majestic four-onion
globes of Smolensky Cathedral which dates back to 1524.
It was at Novodevichy that Peter the Great imprisoned
his sister Sophia and executed her supporters from the
Streltsy rebellion. Today it is a magnicent and peaceful
cloister with an impressive icon collection. Be sure to look

POKROVSKY MONASTERY
This humble 17th Century monastery, which was exten-
sively reconstructed during the 19th Century, derives most
of its fame from Matryona of Moscow, the local saint who is
buried here. Born in 1885, Matryona, although born blind
was blessed from an early age with remarkable prophecy
and healing powers. During the communist years she was
an important gure in the clandestine Christian movement
and is said to have performed many miracles. In 1952 she
predicted her own death and died soon after. Her nal
wishes were that all who needed her should come to visit
her even when she was gone and she would strive even in
death to oer solace to those in need. QE-3, Ul. Tagans-

their way of life, describe it to the world and also learn from
it. This fantastic museum is dedicated not only to Nikolays
priceless paintings, but also the people he met during his

RUSSIAN HISTORY
Start early in the day with this one. Theres a whole cen-
tury of the most turbulent, convoluted, well documented
history to be seen and absorbed. Housed in a 1780s man-
sion and former premises of the Moscow English Club, this
grand dame was also the former Museum of Revolution.
Now that history has moved on, so has the museum, cov-
ering all aspects of Russias recent history. English texts are
sporadically situated in the rooms to make more of the
experience. Dont linger too much in the Revolutionary
phase or youll be too tired by the time the Space Race
starts, and Perestroika and the great music section dedi-
cated to Russias answer to the Beatles.QB-2, Tverskaya

THE PUSHKIN STATE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS
Opened to the public in 1912, this museum was primarily
intended as an educational facility. Coming from the fash-
ion of that time, it houses a lot of the worlds art in the form
of plaster casts. It also has works by the Old Masters and
representatives of various European schools of painting. In
1924 the museum saw the rst addition of a picture gallery,
to be followed in 1948 by the addition of many works from
the 19th century. Its a manageable museum, but be sure
to know which section you are heading. Two buildings sit
side by side - the rst grandiose structure houses the old
plastery cast bit, the impressionists are held in a separate
wing for which there is a separate admission charge. The
temperamental audio guides provide the only English

icons to the politically charged and prescient canvases of
Russias favourite realist master, Ilya Repin, the collection is
a rich and revealing insight into the history and attitudes
of this long suering yet inspired people. All pictures are
labeled in English. Be sure to make use of the A3-size
laminated information sheets found throughout the mu-
seum; there is always at least one English version hidden
amongst the Russian ones. The gallery does not include

TRETYAKOV GALLERY AT KRYMSKY VAL
Dedicated to Russian art of the 20th Century, this is the
extension part of the Tretyakov project. And a worthy ad-
dition it is. Stunningly presented, each work contributes to
the chronological project. Head up to the fourth oor to
begin with the Moscow modernists. Not only is this venue,
in terms of English, one of the friendliest, it is also very well
presented. Everything is explained in English and as well
as the canvas texts there are several multimedia and video
representations providing a historical and political frame-
work to understanding the pieces. Most impressive is the
video of the destruction of the Cathedral, right near to a
full screen window from where you can see the site today.
A visit here is a real history lesson and allows the visitor
to see the Soviet era as the long and complex process it
was, full of dicult and conicting attitudes and ideas and
stages.QB-5, Krymsky Val 10, MPark Kultury, tel. (+7)

TSARITSYNO
Commissioned by Catherine the Great as an out of town
palace in 1775, Tsaritsyno is the poor cousin of the Moscow
estates and palaces. Early construction didnt meet with the
Empresss approval and by 1795, after dismissing the main
architect, the complex was already lying in ruins. Over the
ensuing years it became a fashionable country estate and a
particular favourite place for locals to enjoy picnics amongst
the ruins. Since the 1980s the estate has been undergoing
renovations and the gothic style palace at its heart is now
looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at
possibly any other time during its history. The huge gardens,
meadows and woods surrounding the palace are a tranquil
and nature-lled retreat.QDolskaya ul. 1, MOrekhovo,

STATE MUSEUM-ESTATE ARKHANGELSKOE
The aristocratic estate to the north-west of the capital was
home to the Yusupov family, and Prince Nikolai was one of
the most enthusiastic collectors of French art. His legacy
includes a collection of more than 100 works from the late
18th and early 19th centuries. Frequent trips to the salons of
Paris saw him become the rst man to introduce the works of
Horace Vernet and Marguerite Grard to Russian audiences.
Those works form the centrepiece of the Arkhangelskoye
show, which includes 50 prime cuts from Yusupovs galleries.

ASK THE CONCIERGE
Interview with Ilia Pismen-
ny, Concierge at the Ararat
Park Hyatt Moscow
Tell us something about
yourself. From early age I was
an ice skater and juggler for an
American Ice Show for many
years. Later I graduated from
the International School of Ho-
tel Management, Neuchtel, Switzerland in 2002. Since
then I have worked in hotels in dierent front oce posi-
tions. I became a hotel concierge in 2010 with the opening
of a luxury 5 star hotel in Moscow. At the end of 2012, I
joined the prestigious U.I.C.H. Les clefs dOr association and
now being 38 years old I love this profession even more.
Summer is upon us, what should we visit? In Mos-
cows summer heat I always recommend getting closer
to nature by taking a tour of the Moscow suburbs like
Kolomenskoe (an estate which used to be the summer
residence of tsars) and Tsaritsyno (a magnicent coun-
try estate with a park spread over an area of a about 250
acres built for Empress Catherine the Great). For those
that prefer to stay within the city centre I recommend
visiting the cosy Hermitage Gardens with its three thea-
tres, several playgrounds and cafes. This is where Leo
Tolstoy used to stroll. Another place which you must
see is located on the banks of the Moskva River, Gorky
Park. This famous location of nearly 300 acres was once
a Soviet amusement park and is now a modern cultural
space. Take a Radisson cruise boat directly from the park.
What are the biggest challenges for you as a con-
cierge during the summer? Summer is the season for
tourism. The biggest challenge, I would say, is getting our
guests into Armoury Chamber museum and Kremlin ca-
thedrals with private guides. Many guests start writing to
concierge well in advance of their arrival in order to plan
their stay and want everything to be conrmed. Krem-
lin rules, being very strict, unfortunately do not always
allow us to conrm visits ahead of time. Another chal-
lenge is securing a table on summer terraces at trendy
restaurants as many of them do not take bookings but
seat guests upon arrival. In both cases this is where a
concierges contacts can be useful.
The Ararat Park Hyatt hotel has quite a few dining
options, which one would you recommend? At Ara-
rat Park Hyatt we have our famous rooftop Conservatory
Lounge and Bar with Kremlin and Bolshoi theatre view,
a modern minimalist sushi bar, Enoki, breakfast restau-
rant The Park and our signature restaurant Caf Ararat.
I denitely recommend Caf Ararat which combines
traditional Armenian with contemporary cultures. Its
authentic dishes are prepared using ingredients freshly
delivered direct from Armenia.

RAKETA WATCHES
Raketa is not only the oldest factory in Russia, but also the
only watch factory in the whole country. Additionally, it
is one of the only watch factories in the world, the only
others being Rolex and Swatch, that manufactures its own
movements; including the hair spring and escapement.
It was founded as a stone carving factory in 1721 by
Peter the Great, producing items for the Russian royal
family. After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War of
1812, what had become the Petrodvorets watch fac-
tory was reorganised to supply the Russian army with
equipment. The factory also provided the stones of
Lenins Mausoleum, and the famous red stars which
you can see on top of the Kremlins towers.
The factory began producing watches in 1949 under
the name Zvezda (star) and Pobeda (victory). In 1961,
Yuri Gagarin made the rst ight in history into outer
space; the factory renamed the brand Raketa (rocket)
to commemorate this. www.raketa.com.

RUSSIAN SOUVENIRS
Russia is full of beautiful souvenirs and we are not just
talking about Russian dolls and Lenin badges. If you are
looking to take some extra special gifts home with you we
recommend you consider buying some of the following:

Platok
A perfect present for any female friend or relative.
These beautifully designed and colourful scarves can
either spruce up the outt of a young lady by being
worn around the neck or serve to make your grandma
look even cuter than usual by being worn around the
head. Orenburgsky platok is another highly desirable
type of scarf made from the down hair of goats. The
real hand spun ones are very warm and yet also so
delicate and silk-like that the whole scarf can be pulled
through a womans wedding ring.
Birch wood crafts
The silver birch is the national tree of Russia, the fur-
ther in to the countryside you get, the more you notice
that the worlds largest country is covered in them. It
then comes as no surprise that Russians have been
experts at producing items carved out of the bark of
their favourite tree. Birch wood combs are particularly
popular as they are said to be very good for your hair.
Khokhloma
This traditional red, black and gold Russian design gen-
erally painted onto wooden household items dates
back to the 18th Century. If you havent much space in
your luggage pick up a spoon and sugar pot, or if you
have space for more you can nd almost anything with
khokhloma on from tea trays to kitchen tables. Bosco
sport (the company who dress the Russian Olympic
team) also do a nice line in khokhloma inspired clothing.
Vodka and Caviar
They compliment each other as perfectly as beer and
crisps or strawberries and cream. The better vodka brands
come out under the Russky standart label although lado-
ga and berozka are also good. For something more kitsch
look out for Kalashnikov or matrioshka vodka. Black be-
luga caviar is still one of the most expensive foods on the
planet and a small jar can set you back more than $100
if you buy it in the market. Never buy caviar from street
touts, more often than not it is fake and/or illegal.
ART SALON ON
STAROSADSKY
This small gift shop is a veritable Aladdins cave of
semi-precious stones, minerals and amber handcraft-
ed into unique jewellery, ornaments and decorative
items by talented local craftsmen. If you are looking to
take away an unique little piece of Russia, rather than
another item from the usual tourist conveyor belt then
look no further than these cabinets lled with items
made from gleaming Russian malachite, agate, jasper,
the purest Baltic amber and other lustrous precious
stones. For something even more exotic theyre also
selling fragments of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite that
fell in Far Eastern Russia in 1947 and of the one that
made the headlines in February 2013 in Chelyabinsk.
In addition theres a large selection of paintings to be
found, hand-painted lacquer boxes, pottery, tradition-
al scarves, Russian dolls and some exclusive majolica
crafts created by two famous Russian artists Natalya
Pavlova and Evgeny Shepelev.QD-3, Starosadsky per.

ties and occasions? Why,

DOS AND DONTS
Behavioural dierences faced by Expats some
dos & donts of doing business in Russia
Dont schedule early morning appointments unless it
with other foreigners. Moscow might be a 24 hour city
but Russians simply dont do mornings. If you suggest
meeting at eight, chances are that a Russian will assume
you mean eight in the evening, not morning!
Do re-conrm any appointments that you previously set
up weeks before, or (even better) on the day of the meet-
ing itself. Given the ad hoc nature of Russian business,
its quite normal for meetings to be moved even at the
last minute. This is known as a kontrolny zvonok, or a
conrmation call and is also a useful way of ensuring that
a pass has been ordered for you to enter the building
and DO remember to bring photo ID with you!
Dont send a Russian an e-mail asking if you can tel-
ephone them in several days time (unless of course if it is
a lengthy conference call or a telephone interview), just
call them. If they are busy, they will tell you and you can
quickly agree a time that works for both of you. Interrupt-
ing people isnt really an issue on the phone worst case,
they wont answer or their mobile will be switched o.
Then you can e-mail them!!
Do bring a large stack of business cards with you (prefer-
ably printed in Russian on the reverse side), several times
more than you think youll need. Invariably you will be
introduced to additional people than those you were
expecting to meet, such as other colleagues, partners or
customers be liberal when handing them out.
Do take advice from people who have been there and
done it, rather than people who think they have. Yeah,
I know all about Russia, I met this Polish guy once who
told me about it is similar to thinking you can become
an astronaut after watching a few episodes or Star Trek!
Dont believe everything that you read in the interna-
tional media about Russia come and nd out for your-
self. Chat to some Expats whove been in town for a while
as theyll give you more realistic insights into whats go-
ing on than youll see on CNN!
Do come out with an open mind, a healthy dose of
patience and a sense of humour, then explain to your
head oce that they need to learn to be comfortable
with ambiguity!

ON TWO WHEELS
Especially in weekends, you can see hundreds of bicycles
ocking the parks of Moscow. Last year, following the ex-
ample of other world cities like London, Paris and Vienna,
Russia introduced its own city bikes which can be rented
from various bicycle stations throughout the city. From a
legal perspective, a cyclist was a pedestrian with some kind
of steel device between his legs. A recent change in the

(Rules of Road Trac of the Russian Federation) has intro-
duced the (cyclist) as a fully entitled partici-
pant of road trac. Government Regulation 221 of 22
March 2014, which entered into force on 8 April 2014 has
made the bicycle a real means of transport with all rights
and obligations. The most important change for cyclists is
probably that a driver who turns right or left must render
priority to a cyclist going straight. This was not written
clearly before. The new rules forbid cars to use sidewalks
and shoulders and obliges cyclists to use cycle paths, cyc-
lo-pedestrian paths or cycle lanes, IF they are there. In cen-
tral Moscow, you can indeed observe this novelty of cycle
paths painted in fresh green. But where there are no such
special roads for cyclists, cyclist of 14 years of age and older
may use the roads. This has not really trickled down to the
streets yet. Many cyclists are still using the pavement to the
dismay of pedestrians because of their growing numbers.
After all, a bicycle has wheels and this means higher in the
pecking order in the law of the asphalt jungle. The sound
of rubber on the street causes a jump-to-the-side reex
with many pedestrians. For the cyclist who has the cour-
age to hit the open road, the opportunities are boundless.
Drivers are surprisingly tolerant towards cyclists, especially
when you are very clear about when you are going. Use
hand signals to change lanes and thank the driver who lets
you pass with a hand slightly raised from the handle bar.
Making eye contact dramatically increases your safety. The
hybrid nature of the bicycle makes it possible to use the
best of both worlds. As soon as you get o your bike, you
are a pedestrian. For example, you can use the
(underpass) to quickly get to the other side of a large road
(usually called a or a ). And especially dur-
ing working days, the bus lanes are a relative oasis. But look
out for jeeps and (the hatchback Lada Samara,
called simply number 9 in Russian)! Despite the novelty
of moving on two wheels, the Moscow cycling scene is re-
freshingly diverse. Mountain bikes are the most common,
but also low riders, city bicycles, racing and audax bikes
and even xies can be spotted. It is common for cyclists
to greet each other, with a raised hand or simply a nod.
And if you are within hearing distance, you may use the
traditional Russian greeting for sportsmen amongst each
other : !

they went to famous composer Tchaikovskys and
well-known writers Tolstoys and Tchekhovs hous-
es, to name just two highlights. Learn all about the
upcoming trips by checking the website www.iwc-
moscow.ru or Facebook page www.facebook.com/

THE EXPAT EXPERIENCE
Please tell us something
about yourself. My name
is Jonathan Bex. I trained as
an actor in London and the
US and worked profession-
al for many years, mainly in
the UK, but now spend a
lot of my time in Moscow -
the theatre company keeps
me very busy here. I have a
young family here as well
now and I am slowly learning Russian with my daughter
- so far Ive learnt, she sleeps, she eats, she cries.
What were your rst ever impressions of Russia?
You always believe Russia is going to be cold. Not just
the climate but peoples attitudes. Thats the impression
youre given. I was in my mid 40s before I rst came here
so that impression had been stamped on me for a num-
ber of years. I was pleasantly surprised. OK - my rst visit
here was in May so the weather was warm but so were
the people.
What do you enjoy most about living in Moscow?
Its an exciting city. There is so much going on. Yes, thea-
tre is my rst love and Moscow is teeming with it. Of
course its in Russian but you read the play before hand
you can still have a really enjoyable experience. But
then there is dance and music so culturally theres a lot
to do and see. The city is blessed with parks as well so
theres always green spaces to nd for relaxation. I also
love walking through the city and straying o the main
routes - there is some delightful architecture and inter-
esting places to nd.
What can you tell us about the dierence between
theatre in Russia and in England? An actors life seems
to be changing in Russia and starting to resemble that of
the actors life in the UK more. In the UK actors are freelanc-
ers going from job to job - tv, theatre, radio and touring.
They may work for a theatre company on more than one
occasion but its not a permanent job. Many, actually still
most, actors in Moscow have permanent residences in
companies. A friend of mine works at the Maly Theater.
Hes been there for thirty years since he left drama school!
That just doesnt happen in the UK. It has advantages and
disadvantages but I think most UK actors would love the
chance to have such a full and reliable career. Content
wise, generally, Russian theatre still seems to present more
classical works than you would see, say, in London.
Moscow is one of the most popular and rewarding expat
destinations. If you would like your expat group to be featured here,

RUSSIAN FOR EXPATS
means, at its most basic, noth-
ing. You can use it in any context in its most literal
sense but theres more to it than just that. If your
girlfriend asks you what you think of her dress, you
can reply with , not meaning that you dont
think anything of it, but that you feel positively to-
wards it. If you want to tell your girlfriend not to
worry, because obviously she looks lovely, you can
say , to mean dont worry. You can
also use when someone steps on your foot
in the metro; if they apologise and you want to say
thats ok, simply reply with . If you want to
be very English and reply to with fine,
just use your new favourite word: .

St. Petersburg
LUXURY TRAINS
If you are looking for a comfortable night train to the
Northern Capital it is worth considering taking a private
train. The cheerful Megapolis train leaves for St. Peters-
burg every night and oers a more hotel-like travel
experience. After being shown to your cabin you will
nd your beds have already been made up with real
duvets rather than blankets, and all round the carriages
are spotless. Hot breakfast and coee can be brought to
your room in the morning and if at any moment during
the trip you experience some problems you can call the
train attendant from the comfort of your bed and they
will come to you! If you want to wake up in Moscow
truly fresh in the morning, its worth the money.
Trains leave Leningradsky vokzal (metro Komsomol-
skaya) at 00:56 and arrive in St. Petersburg at 09:00.

GETTING THERE
There are dozens of night trains travelling every day be-
tween Moscow and St. Petersburg, some of them mod-
ern and upscale like the Megapolis (see page 65), and
others more suitable for those on a small budget. In ad-
dition there are also many super-fast trains (called the
Sapsan) which make the journey in just over 4 hours
and travel daily during the morning, afternoon and
early evening. There are also of course frequent ight
connections between Moscows main airports and St.
Petersburgs Pulkovo airport.
