My name is Vera and I am continuosly discovering Moscow despite of the fact that it’s my birth place. Usually everybody thinks of Moscow as of a chaotic capital with plenty of cars and people, always hurrying up somewhere. And it is kind of true. Still you need to know there are many green areas and nice cosy yards. There are places where history of Russia is still to be seen and you can imagine you step onto the ground, which Alexander Pushkin or Ivan the Terrible used to step on. That's what I love about my city - the more modern it gets, the more exciting it gets to discover some hidden historical sites in it. And even more precious therefore become its worldwide known architecture masterpieces.
