Pushkin monument on Pushkin square
downtown, all the lovers have meetings there At the center of the square is a famous statue of Pushkin, funded by public conscription and opened by Ivan Turgenev and Feodor Dostoevsky in 1880. In 1950 Stalin had the statue moved to the other side of the Tverskaya Street, where the Monastery of Christ's Passions had formerly stood.
Russian Federation, Moscow
Moscow is a heart of Russia, and The Red Square is a heart of Moscow, the most popular place in Russia
Arbat
One of the most popular streets in our city and one of my favourites. Especially in nighttime. In the 18th century, the Arbat came to be regarded by the Russian nobility as the most prestigious living area in Moscow. The Old Arbat has the reputation of being Moscow's most touristy street, with lots of entertainment and souvenirs sold. It is distinct from the New Arbat, a street running parallel to it and lined with Soviet skyscrapers made of steel, concrete, and glass.
Государственный Музей Керамики И Усадьба Кусково XVIII Века
was the summer country house and estate of the Sheremetev family. Built in the mid-18th century, it was originally situated several miles to the east of Moscow but now is part of the East District of the city. It was one of the first great summer country estates of the Russian nobility, and one of the few near Moscow still preserved. Today the estate is the home of the Russian State Museum of Ceramics, and the park is a favourite place of recreation for Muscovites.
Alexander Gardens (Alexandrovsky Sad)
one of the first public parks in Moscow. It occupies all the length of the western Kremlin wall in front of the Moscow Manege.
Moscow Kremlin
s the Russian word for "fortress", "citadel" or "castle" and refers to any major fortified central complex found in historic Russian cities. This word is often used to refer to the best-known one, the Moscow Kremlin, or metonymically to the government that is based there. Outside Russia, the name "Kremlin" is sometimes mistakenly thought of as being Saint Basil's Cathedral because of its distinctive environment, although this is not a part of the Moscow Kremlin. The name Kremlin (or Kreml) has been allocated to various Soviet Navy vessels during construction. In each case, the name was changed prior to commissioning. Vessels which have briefly carried this name included Admiral Kuznetsov and Ulyanovsk. Russia's presidential administration is located in the Kremlin. During the Soviet era the government of the USSR was located in the Kremlin, but now the Russian government occupies a building outside it.
Lubyanka
Here! Here's the Empire Of Evil))) is the popular name for the headquarters of the KGB and affiliated prison on Lubyanka Square in Moscow. In Soviet Russian jokes it was referred to as the tallest building in Moscow, since Siberia could be seen from its basement. Another joke referred to the building as "Adult's World" as compared to "Children's World," the name of the popular toy store across the street.
The Moscow Metro
My only PROUD of my own city, which spans almost the entire Russian capital, is the world's second most heavily used rapid-transit system. Opened in 1935, it is well known for the ornate design of many of its stations, which contain outstanding examples of socialist realist art.
Всероссийский Выставочный Центр
Nice place for walking, taking pics and stuff like that. And you can bath your feel in the local fountains). Ex-Soviet stuff. Present Days In 1992, VDNKh was renamed, receiving its current name VVC. It occupies square, pavilions which are used for indoor exhibits. The territory of VVC is greater than that of the Principality of Monaco and has approximately 400 buildings. Inadequate maintenance of Vera Mukhina's statue caused such disrepair that the statue was disassembled. The term "VDNKh" is still in use, including the name of a nearby subway station. You won't find place like this)
Lenin's mausoleum
Wanna see dead Lenin? No Problem). Hey, tourists. He's real). Also known as Lenin's Tomb, situated in Red Square in Moscow, is the mausoleum that serves as the current resting place of Vladimir Lenin. His embalmed body has been on public display there since the year he died in 1924 (with rare exceptions in wartime).
