Some more pictures of the history and the present coexistence. Photos from thin lanes at the very heart of Moscow.
House number 24 at Bolshoy Afanasyevsky lane looks like ancient palace. It stands beyond the “red line” of the lane, which means that it had been built in 17th century. It was reconstructed and returned its historical look recently.

Leave a CommentThe memory march took place yesterday. The route passed from Strastnoy boulevard to Akademika Saharova prospect. Two columns were moving along the road, one on each side of the boulevard. There were a lot of people, more than the previous year. Inspection at security frames was not too strict, the police was really polite and friendly.
