  1. A passage from a recent theatrical review from Moscow:

  3. ”Dear Lord, stop the war (please)”. A graffiti near Troitse-Lobanovo estate, about 30km outside Moscow

    (The photo was shot this weekend; it was sent to me by a friend who is still in Russia)

    The estate seemingly was initially built around the late XIV, c. but the current buildings, which are mostly ruined, are probably some time circa XVIII-XIX cc.).

    You can see the Trinity church in the background.

  7. Novaya Gazeta EU's recent headline:

    Report from the Future: Life in the Russian village of Budushcheye (aka Future), once known as Svyatoe (Holy), where the only business used to be a distillery.

  33. (2/3) But at the same time it is not only your cosy, a bit sleepy, a bit busy, familiar town, but the capital of the aggressor nation.

    The country that instigated, and then broke into a terrible, unlawful war, that kills, rapes and destroys other beautiful cities less than a thousand km to the south. The country that bombarded them even today. And here am I, walking, and the artificial trees are bursting into illuminated light.

    Peculiar feeling.

  34. (1/3) The weirdest feeling is, when you're walking through the old center of Moscow, and it's heavily illuminated and joyful. And you can see all these independent modern galleries, and these shops, and these ads, these people and these old buildings, for some of which you have a story to tell.
