On the other hand, a new bridge across Moskva river is far from any traditions and looks straight and stiff as a pole. It is supposed to become the entrance to Moscow trade exhibition grounds - and to be a shopping center itself. Our Mayor have recently finished a huge underground mall at Manezhnaya Square and now is playing with this hanging shopping space (should I call it a shopping pipe?). It is still closed to public, but soon perhaps will be a popular tourist attraction. |
In the beginning of this story I have promised you to show people, to show faces. So far nonetheless it's been mostly my traditional landscapes and city views. Now at last let us turn to portraits.
Of course, between parties we occasionally work. Here I will show you new trends, not traditional Russian jobs. After all, I promised to show you happy people.

One more unique sight (on the left) - a happy customer visiting our office to say thanks and to offer some beer (after hours, of course). Everyone knows that customer support is mostly popular among unhappy users having problems. Volodya is an exception. He does not have much troubles with the service. He enjoys it - and, moreover, he enjoys thanking people who provide him the service. It is a bit difficult to call him a usual Muscovite. Maybe his vacation trips to Nepal change him in some subtle way?
One more obvious place to find happy people is a Friday night bar. Beer and billiard, live music and honest food - it all helps visitors be happy. I do not post the name of the bar here - there are quite a few decent places now in Moscow, and only thickness of your wallet limits the frequency of your visits. |
![]() Okay. The story is already a bit longer than it should. Time for the last face. Let it be mine. It's a pity that the picture does not show the ponytail... Still that's how one more Muscovite looks at the moment.
