Everyday crowded with tourists Railway station Moscow Houses in a side street Admirality in the background. Fortunately they have banned advertisement signs over the street to keep the view clear One day I saw huge crowds standing in line and waiting up to 5 hours. Reason: A special icon arrived back from the USA and was displayed here before being transferred to a monastery in Tichwin. For that event the Patriarch from Moscow arrived, also. |
Some houses are still blemished by this kind of advertisements. It seems to have occurred often, as I saw on an old photo of a calendar. Old Duma Resurrection Church In front of the Kasan Cathedral A side street converted into a pedestrian zone. In preparation for the 300 anniversary in 2003 a lot was renovated or newly created. |
