FROM THE HISTORY OF THREE STREETS: A MOTION, A SIGN, A WOLF
Description:
From the very center of Moscow, many roads diverge in rays, which will certainly lead the traveler to new discoveries and adventures. Along the Moscow streets there are facades of houses of different architectural styles. In ancient Russia, the word “street” was understood as the facade of a house, so to speak, to be “at the face”. On our tour we will look at the “faces” of the city. Perhaps sometimes they look ugly and ugly, and sometimes their faces are beautiful, but believe me, no matter what impression the contemplation of Moscow buildings makes on you, they must hide some mystery and an amazing story.
