Centre of Moscow Центр Москвы [tsentr maskvi]

Garden Ring Road Bulvar Ring Road

The first mention of Moscow is dated 1147 Area: 1.080 sq km Climate: temperate continental Population: 10,5 million (2009) National structure: Russians (84,83 %), Ukrainians (2,44 %), Tatars (1,6 %), Armenians (1,2%), Azerbaijani (0,92%), Jews (0,8%), Belarusians (0,6%) Time: GMT + 3 Telephone codes: Russia + 7, Moscow 495, 499 Currency: rouble (100 RUB = 2.17 EUR = 3.03 USD, July 2009) Surnames: White-Stone, Gold-Domed, the First Capital City, the Third Rome.

Zamoskvorechye The name of Zamoskvorechye district literally means its location towards the Kremlin and the river. In other words – “over the Moskva river”. The river for cities was always an important trade channel. In 18th19th centuries the warehouses were situated here, and at this very place the notable merchants and bargainers built up their houses. Today the two-storey constructions of the past centuries, the houses of famous Moscow and Russian figures, have been preserved in the yards of Zamoskvorechye. Among dozens of cathedrals, located in the territory of Zamoskvorechye, the Saint Nicholas cathedral in Tolmachi especially stands out. One of the most esteemed Russian icons the “Theotokos of Vladimir” or “Our Lady of Vladimir” is kept here. Also the world known State Tretyakov Gallery is situated here. As well as in the last century, in the streets of Zamoskvorechye there are many restaurants, cafes and people taking a walk in the evening.

Ordynka, Prechistenka – Moskva river This part of Moscow has most of all suffered from rebuilding over the last 10-15 years. The hi-tech style buildings have replaced the 19th century houses with furnished apartments. And though the ancient building’s fronts overlook the Prechistenka and Ostozhenka streets, a quartz silence of the most expensive Moscow bedroom district prevails in its deep yards. For this reason Muscovites call this part of the city the “Golden Mile”. Here one can find the main Russian cathedral the “Cathedral of Christ the Savior” and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.

Arbat

Sometime ago the Arbat street inspired poets and artists, and set a Bohemian spirit

to the neighboring yards and streets. At this particular spot the main events of capital’s cultural life in the 20th century took place. Today Arbat is one of the most popular tourist routes of Moscow. The Arbat yards and lanes, to the contrary, still keep their color of Moscow of the iron curtain times. The “New Arbat” street only by its name looks like the “Old Arbat”, being the embodiment of the progressive 70-s. Today one can find here the modern cinema, and a big book store, and a great variety of boutiques, and also restaurants and cafes for any taste and budget.

Tverskaya Tverskaya Street and its surroundings are the most appropriate places for shopping. Family clothing stores, boutiques, perfumery, jewelry and antiquarian showrooms, and art galleries are presented here in the whole variety. The doors of many bars and restaurants are open 24 hours. Tverskaya Street is also one the most kempt districts in Moscow, where the external architectural character of ancient buildings is maintained in the prime condition. The vanity of day shopping, the romance of evening walks and the high-energy of night clubs – this is the day’s routine of Tverskaya Street. Among the lanes, adjoining to Tverskaya Street, the Kamergersky lane deserves a special attention. Save that it is a pedestrian street with a great number of cozy cafes, also the world famous Moscow Academic Theater named after A.P. Chekhov (MKhAT) is situated here.

Kitai-gorod Kitai-gorod is the most ancient district of Moscow, adjoining the Kremlin. Varvarka, Ilyinka and Nikolskaya streets are about 700 years old. Since the beginning of the 18th century only stone houses were built up here.

Just at this spot the medieval chambers, which at a time belonged to the Romanov’s House, has been preserved here. Kitai-gorod is the succession of public agencies and shopping galleries.

Patriarchy ponds Due to the intertwining of small similar streets and lanes this district is called the “Moscow labyrinth”. Patriarchy Ponds is the heart of this labyrinth and is connected with many mystic stories. The reason for this may lie in the historic past of ponds. In the 17th century this place was occupied by bogs. After the bogs were drained, the district was populated by Moscow noblemen, rich merchants and industrialists. At the present time it is one of the most elite residential districts in the city.

Myasnitskaya - Pokrovka Myasnitskaya Street (literally means the “butchers’ street”) for the recent two centuries has experiences a bunch of ups and downs. Before the 18th century the butchers took up their residence here. They used to throw off the wastes from slaughter yards to neighboring ponds and “Racha” river that was flowing nearby. The district has gained a special significance when it turned out to be on the way between the Kremlin and the palace village of Preobrazhenskoye. The ponds were cleared out and started to be called the “Chistiye Prudy” (literally means the “clear ponds”). The distinguished representatives of court began to build up their houses in the district. After the capital was transferred to St. Petersburg in the beginning of the 18th century, the district again fell to decay. In the 19th century the street again started to change, when it connected the centre of Moscow with three railway stations. In the first half of the 20th century the workers too up their residence

here, and the district suffered greatly from industrial transformation. Today, walking along Myasnitskaya street and its lanes it is easy to notice all the historic stages in the life of this district. It is worthy of note that in modern Moscow this district is rather a wellbalanced one, where we can equally find both offices, and residential buildings, and cafes, and parks, and “Chistiye Prudy” remain one the most picturesque and cozy places in the centre of Moscow.

Pokrovka, Solyanka This capital’s district has in a less degree suffered from changes and rebuilding in the context of the city evolution. Here we can easily imagine Moscow in the turn of the century. Old houses, narrow lanes and churches. Besides orthodox churches the temples of other confessions are situated here, for instance – a synagogue. The age of many streets is equal to several centuries. Many cafes and night clubs are situated in Pokrovka and Solyanka streets. During weekends these streets are always noisy and full of walking young people.

The Kremlin The Kremlin is the heart of Moscow and the centre of Russia. The count of all Russian roads starts from here. The main events in the country’s political life take place here. The Kremlin towers with double-headed eagles and purple stars, the monument to Minin and Pozharsky, the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great, the Archangel Cathedral (the burial place of the grand dukes and tsars of Moscovia from Ryurik Dynasty), the Faceted Palace and the Grand Kremlin Palace, the Armory Chamber and diamond fund, Cathedral of Saint Basils the Blessed and the Lenin mausoleum. The Kremlin is the country’s symbol and the main object of tourist industry in Moscow.

People Люди [lyudee] Veterans Participants of Great Patriotic War (1941-1945. This is the generation, born in the early 20th century, in the era of sweeping changes. Revolution, troublesome time, purges, two most bloody wars and the fear of nuclear confrontation. We pour in tributes to this generation. Virtual generation Born in after-war years (1945-1960). They were born in the country safely covered by an iron curtain, where public media every day and within several decades modeled a certain special form of reality for the whole country. It was a planned benevolent semi-virtual world that still exists in their minds. Some sacredly believe that the Russian language is understood by almost everyone on the planet. Bureaucrats Civil officers. In the Soviet era bureaucrats occupied a privileged position in society. Then their authority plummeted. Bureaucrats have remained in dishonor until quite recently whilst the state again needed a strong governmental machine. Increases in pay and fringe benefits have restored the bureaucrat’s authority, and a young superseding shift cheerfully began its walk along the corridors of public offices. At 8:30 a.m. and at 6:30 p.m. the public transport in Moscow as if at a command is filled out with civil officers, where one half is in the age of retirement, and the second half has recently graduated from higher education institutions. Office-men Office staff. This numerous tribe simultaneously appeared in all big cities of the world. Maybe for this reason office clerks look like the same wherever their office situates in. This is a vivid example of global unification, which trends have been distinctly underlined in the modern world. During weekdays they say “we” about themselves, meaning the whole corporation. An office clerk is a constellation of brands dressing him/her and watching his/her cleanness and the state of skin, forming and supplementing his/her changing “ego”, which is extremely sensible to fashion. An office clerk is optimistic; he/she believes in progress and willingly consumes all the new things. Many clerks do not leave the limits of Moscow Ring Road for several years. Guest workers The citizen of another country (CIS as a rule), employed in Russia under working visa.A rapid development of Moscow in the latest decade has quite shortly revealed a shortage of man power. An additional labor force came from CIS countries. Azerbaijani started to lay out roads,

the Kyrgyz to look after the city neatness, the Ukrainians and Byelorussians to construct new buildings. Each guest workerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relocation is carefully monitored by migration services having charge of working visas and controlling the size of employed foreigners in Moscow. Free people The people free from cliches stereotypes, choosing their own individual way. This small, but important part of social medium may not be more or less systemized. They are extremely individual, their values are non-material, they clearly realize their boundaries, and may not be manipulated. They are not enjoyed by consumption. Most people think they are unpredictable. However, it is their pure thinking that very often becomes an initial cause of all important events in the city life. Night people People leading a night way of life. They are not troubled by an open sky; they are dulled by plenty of daylight; disoriented and depressed by traffic jams. When the torchlight supplants the sunlight the night people come to the streets so that by short moves to leave one and visit another night spot. During a non-party period they have time to work in the sphere of PR, advertising, fashion, design and web-programming. Students Students of Moscow higher education institutions. Moscow is the biggest intellectual center of Russia, where a great number of higher education institutions are concentrated in. Young people from every corner of the country come to Moscow to get a higher education. In 5 years (the period of full tuition) not all the graduates return back home. Many of them remain to live and work in Moscow. Business persons People having their own business. Moscow has always been the center of economic life in Russia. The return to liberal market relations has revived this stratum of society, which vanished in the Soviet era. Tourists Travelers from other regions of Russia and other countries. Most tourists usually come to Moscow during warm season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; since May to September. The vacation time of Muscovites comes exactly in this time. Many of them leave the city for the period of vacation. The metropolitan vanity and hurry becomes less intense, the number of passengers in public transportation decreases, and in the downtown there are more pedestrians. Many of them are tourists.

ARCHITECTURE АРХИТЕКТУРА [arkheetek ra] Architecture is the child of cities, absorbing the features of townspeople character and the peculiarities of ages. The ages change, and the architecture changes too, documenting the history and recording the most important events in the life of country and city.

16th century The age of Moscow is nearly nine centuries. The earliest city architecture was represented by a wooden art of building, which can be now judged only by the traditional Russian houses in villages and the wooden Orthodox churches in the north of Russia. Stone was used for the building of city defense constructions, princely and boyar chambers, and also for Orthodox cathedrals. The churches’ architectural style was borrowed from Byzantines.

Old English court yard

The building of religious faith objects in the 16th century evolves the so called “tabernacle style”. Saint Basil the Blessed Church in the Red Square and the Ascension Church in Kolomenskoye are performed exactly in this very style. Saint Basil the Blessed Church

17th century The interlunation, marked with driving out the Poles from Moscow, is finishing in Russia. The positive philosophy and the feeling of national solidarity prevail in public sentiments. A rise in cultural life takes its place. The secular mood and motives start to infiltrate into the religious architecture. At this particular time the painting of churches in different colors started, and the fanciful patterns appeared in ornament. An independent architectural style appears, named as the “Naryshkin Baroque”. The Novo-Duevitchiye Nunnery on the Moskva-river and the Our Lady of the Sign Church in Sheremetyev yard may typify this style.

Orthodox church

18th century he Russian Emperor Peter the 1st “opens the window to Europe”. The West has a profound impact on Russian culture. A European Baroque solemnly rushes into the city architecture. This style was notable for its contrast, a joyful and optimistic perception of life, and the pursuit to splendor and grandeur.

First half of19th century 1812. The Napoleon troops invade Moscow, left by its inhabitants. Almost all the city is burnt in fire. Another Moscow is being built to replace the ancient Russian and a Baroque Moscow, vanished in fire, and classicism becomes for such Moscow the main architectural style. Today the most part of old Moscow is built in this very style. The ideas of rationalism lie at the root of classicism, which is positioned as an appeal to the forms of ancient art of building, as to the standard of harmony, chastity and monumentality.

The architectural style of Empire, as an imperial derivative of classicism, appeared in a festive euphoria on the occasion of the Russian troops’ victory over Napoleon. The style reflects the grandeur, nobility and might of the Russian Empire. The Empire style has left a large footprint in the sands of Moscow architecture, but it was quite soon replaced by a more calm classicism.

A “pseudo-Russian style” appears in architecture as a counter-force to the influence of western culture. Such style represents a synthesis of ancient Russian and Russian people’s art of building traditions. It is wide, luxurious in the Russian style, and has slight superfluities. The “GUM” trade center, the buildings of Historic Museum and the Polytechnic Museum are built in this style. Historic Museum

20th century 1901 - 1905 A new authoritative class stands out in the society. It is the class of successful bargainers and industrialists, who had their own point of view to modern art. As a general rule such point of view was out of tune with classicism. A new bourgeois style appears in architecture – the “modernist style”. It is more elegant, idle, and cheerful, with round shapes and ornamental ceramic panels.

First half of 20th century The revolution in Russia turns the public layers upside down. The changes occur everywhere, including architecture. Architecture is simplifying, reserving the round shapes of modernist style. A new style appears – the “constructivism”. Usually this style is represented by the houses of fulvous or yellow-fulvous color with big windows, solid balconies, and exploiting regular big geometrical figures.

Residential building

The Ministry of Agriculture

Mid-20th century The victory in World War II gave a new impulse to the imperial ambitions of Russia. The majestic buildings were built in the style that was named as the “Stalin Empire”. The eight Moscow hi-rise buildings (the eighth hirise building was donated to Poland and since the middle of the 20th century beautifies the center of Warsaw) are built in this style.

Residential building

Residential building “Khrushchovka”

Later the architecture of Moscow architecture greatly simplified. The main task was to provide the residential space for Muscovites. Architecture bears a narrowly functional character and receives the name of “functionalism”. Hundreds of thousand of Muscovites were given the small flats in the houses, which people started to call the “khrushchovka”. Functionalism becomes the main architectural style of the country. ction, and the architecture reflected these fears.

The Soviet Union collapse and the hard times of a new state formation era has become the cause of a sensation of fear and exposure, which embraced the society in the 90-s. The construction of cottages has started its rapid development at this time. As the analogy with fortress, the residential houses of this period are frequently decorated with towers. People were searching for protection, and architecture reflected such concerns. Residential building

End of the 20th century Concrete goods are widely used in building industry. The vast bedroom districts appear in the suburban of Moscow. That was a new word in Moscow architecture.

Business centre “Moscow-city“

21st century Russia confidently steps into the new century with thriving economy, recovering its lost influence on world policy. The building of “business center” in Krasnopresnensky embankment is a palmary example of these words.

IN THE CITY В ГОРОДЕ [v goradye] Moscow has a circular structure with a pronounced centre. The Boulevard Ring, the Garden ring, the Third traffic ring and the ring highway outline the circles around the Kremlin. The arrangement of metropolitan roads resemble a cobweb where big prospects gather on their way to the Kremlin. 6

In Moscow the numeration of houses starts from downtown. Even and odd numbers are situated on the opposite sides of street. Index of street names. Such indexes are mounted for drivers, but also serve as a guiding landmark for pedestrians. In Moscow practically every entrance is shut under numeric lock. Any communication with the necessary apartment is carried out through the intercommunication system – a house intercom. House intercoms may differ exteriorly. However, the operational procedure is always the same: you should dial the necessary apartment’s number, press the “call” button and wait for reply. The number of entrance (first line) and the apartment numbers of this entrance (second line) are indicated on the plate over the entrance.

Pedestrian crossing Пешеходный переход [pyeshekhodniy pyeryekhod] In Moscow there are a lot of pedestrian crossings. This city is equally created both for pedestrians, and for motor transport. Though in a rush hour the pedestrian is in much more favourable position.

Cafe-pizzeria Kафе-пиццерия [kafe-peetseereeya] «Mi Piace» - this phrase doesn't need to be translated to the real amateurs of Italian cuisine. The sense is clear even without the translation: a person who once visited this cosy restaurant, with the scent of basil and oregano in the air and the pots with jam and home-made pasta on the shelves, will surely say – «Mi Piace» (I like it). You can come here to have a tasty breakfast of airy omelette with homemade cheese ricotta, then to dine with marvelous pasta with seafood or meat lasagna and to stay until evening to try a rucola and strawberry salad and Mediterranean Dorado. And at last go home with a pot of olives or ginger cookies. «Mi piace» becomes the strongest and the most pleasant addiction - to tasty food and high-quality products.

Bar Бар [bar] As a general rule the Moscow bars are situated closer to downtown and serve as a night refuge for midnight dwellers of megalopolis. Some bars organize entertainment arrangements on their grounds – music shows or striptease. Other bars remain empathetically conservative and traditional. During sport championships and tournaments the sport bars are especially much sought after, where TV plasma screen becomes the centre of attraction.

car автомобиль [avtamabeel'] The traffic in Russia has right driving. An overwhelming majority of highways in Russia are free. Very little number of highways are tall roads, however the charge is not very high. On weekdays traffic jams arise in Moscow: in the morning traffic jams are to the downtown, and in the evening – from the downtown. In summer time traffic jams arise on Fridays on the way to suburbs, and on Sundays they are on the opposite – from suburbs to Moscow. This fact is connected with holiday dacha season (traditionally almost every resident of Moscow owns a vacation home). car легковой автомобиль [leekhkavoy avtamabeel'] engine двигатель [dveegatyel'] bonnet капот [kapot] headlight фара [fara] number номер [nomyer]

ACCOMMODATION РАЗМЕЩЕНИЕ [razmyeshchyeneeye] Despite the fact that Moscow is included into the list of world most expensive cities, the variants of cheap accommodation always exist. The bed in workers and students dormitories in city outskirts or outside the city will cost less of all (around 250 rubles per night). Most likely strong-build guys from CIS countries will be your neighbors, and the conveniences will be the very Lacedaemonian ones. Hostels appeared in Moscow not so long ago. They are rated for unpretentious young customers. Hostels have several substantial advantages: the staff of hostels speaks English, and, as a general rule, hostels nestle as closer to the centre of Moscow as possible. Although Moscow hostels are much more expensive than the ones in Europe. In Moscow there are also some middle class hotels, and a much grater number of deluxe hotels. A low level of service in middle class hotels is compensated by a low room rate. A high level of service in deluxe hotels conforms to world standards and at times even surpass them with Russian natural breadth and some superfluities. However, the rate of a “high-end” room may be extremely heavy. The rent of a private apartment may be rather a good alternative for accommodation in Moscow. In the quality-price ratio such accommodation may excel all other offers. However, it is a sort of a “Russian roulette”. You need to preliminary study the information on the apartment landlords and find some favorable reports from other tourists on topical forums.

Souvenirs Сувениры [soovyeneeri] Gzhel Гжель [gzhel'] Gzhel is a traditional Russian ceramics, painted with blue colors on a white background. The name “Gzhel” originates from the group of villages’ names situating 60 km (37 miles) from Moscow in the direction of Kazan city. The clay mining was being carried out here since the 17th century. At first it was performed in order to be used for drugstore equipment, and afterwards – for the production of a porcelain dinner ware, which was rated high both in Russia and abroad. Zhostovo painting Жестовская роспись [zhostavskaya rospees'] This Russian folk craft of hand painting on metal trays originated at the beginning of the XIX century in the village of Zhostovo, Moscow region. Bunches of big and small garden and wild flowers on black background is the main theme of Zhostovo painting. Shawls Платки [platkee] Pavlovsky Posad shawls, decorated by colorful printed ornament, had been produced long before their factory production started in the 18th century. The shawls production has grown into highvolume amounts. The image is patterned on fabric with a wooden carved matrix. The splendor of Pavlovsky shawls is based on the mastership of carved matrix carvers. Hohloma Хохлома [khokhlama] Hohloma is an ancient Russian folk craft, born in the 17th century in Nizhny Novgorod region, as a decorative painting of wooden dishes and furniture, performed in black and red colors on a golden background. The images of rowanberries, strawberries, flowers and branches are mainly used in Hohloma painting. Not infrequently you may come across the images of birds, fish and animals. Military symbols Военная символика [vayennaya seemvoleeka] Decades of the USSR existence with its obvious orientation on militarization have created a certain image of Russia as a paramilitary country. The interest to Russian military symbols is the interest to the Russian communist past, where the items of military wardrobe and other military attributes serve as a peculiar kind of stereotype, created by a semi centennial work of western mass media. In foreigner eyes these military items are associated with Russia. Moscow street venders willingly exploit this fact and resell even the most ordinary military uniform to 88 foreigners for a tenfold price.

Winter Fur Caps with Ear-Flaps Шапка-ушанка [shapka ooshanka] A severe Russian winter has become the reason for a wide spread occurrence of a traditional Russian winter fur cap (“shapka-ushanka” in Russian, literally meaning “a cap with ears”) in Russia. The presence of special turndown “ears” gave its name to the winter fur cap. In the raised position these “ears” are tied on the top of the head. If needed the “ears” may be hanged down together with the cuff in the back of the head, protecting ears (and partially – cheeks and chin) from cold and wind. Since 1940 the winter fur cap was put in as the official winter uniform headwear of the USSR army and militia. Matryoshka Матрешка [matryoshka] Matryoshka is a traditional Russian wooden toy-doll, painted as Russian lady dressed in pinafore. Inside the lady there are several other dolls, similar but smaller in size. The number of the inserted dolls is usually three and more. In 1900 matryoshka was presented in the Paris World Exhibition, where it won a bronze medal. Birchbark goods Поделки из бересты [padyelkee eez byeryesti] Birchbark is the upper layer of birch tree’s bark, which is widely spread in Russia. The birchbark inner side is usually white, and the inside layer is yellow-brown. Since old days birchbark was used in Russia for the production of household stuff and artistic crafts. Orenburg down shawl Оренбургский пуховый платок [aryenboorgskeey pookhoviy platok] An Orenburg down shawl is a shawl knitted from goat down. The shawl’s name originates from the name of Orenburg city. Exactly in the neighborhood of Orenburg the down-knitting manufacture was conceived 250 years ago. The down of Orenburg goats is the thinnest in the world, but at the same time it is very strong, much stronger than wool. The most wonderful thing is that Orenburg goats may be ranched in Orenburg region only, which in many ways is promoted by a unique local climate. Samovar Самовар [samavar] The tea imported from China has become the favorite beverage of Russian bourgeoisie, but the Russian form of taking tea has gained its specific swing and immensity typical for Russians. Samovar is the device for boiling water for tea. Inside samovar there is a vertical pipe. The cinder placed into this pipe warms up the water. Some times later the production of kerosene and electrical samovars was launched. Tula is the home-country of samovar. Here many metal working craftsmen historically lived in. Tula produced the majority of weapons for Russia, and samovar is the gun-makers’ peacetime production. At the beginning of the 20th century Tula produced more than 700 000 samovars annually, exporting them to European and Asian countries. 89

One discovery followed after another one, and the Russian collection was refilled with ornamental stones.

Holidays Праздники [prazneekee] New Year (the night from December 31st to January 01st) It is one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Russia. January 01st is the start of the decade of public holidays. On the New Year holiday it is customary to decorate the premises, to dress the New Year Tree and to give gifts to each other. Jack Frost (literally – “Grandfather Frost”) is the symbol of New Year. For Russians this holiday is a family holiday, and at midnight everyone seeks to reunite with his family. At 11:55 p.m. on all Russian TV channels the head of state addresses his greeting to nation. Christmas (January 07th) The Russian Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 07th (which according to Julian calendar is December 25th). Divine services are held in all churches and cathedrals. In the meantime the certain customs that happened to be in the heathendom Russia are sometimes wrongly associated with the traditions of Christian Russia. So some people are used to tell fortunes before Christmas. Girls’ fortunetelling on future marriage is especially popular.
