Anastasiia

Hi! I'm Asya, an independent journalist (not affiliated to authorities) and a passionate connoisseur of Moscow, the city where I've lived since the age of 10. I've worked as a tour guide for around a year: first, I showed my foreign friends around the city for free, but soon it turned into a part-time job.

I arrange tours around Moscow where I show hidden gems and less touristic sights. If you have already been to Moscow or live here, if you have seen the Red Square and VDNKH - you're welcome to join my tours! Together we can discover Moscow from different historic&cultural prospectives, e.g. we'll see the Moscow of merchants, of poets - or of vagabonds, orphans and thieves, or we can see the Jewish or feminist Moscow. I adore discovering the city from the point of view of muscovites - e.g. via diaries, letters, recollections etc. - and then collecting from those pieces a bigger, more general historic, social or cultural context. Welcome - let's plunge together into the different layers of muscovite history.
