Moscow Metro: from 1950 to 2014

Moscow Metro (subway, underground) was opened on 15th of May 1935 and immediately received the title of the most beautiful in the world: first subway stations built using 20 kinds of marble and granite. Mosaics, frescoes, sculptures, decorative ceramics were traditional for Soviet design. In this post I'd like to show you 5 beautiful Soviet and modern stations that were opened from 1950 to 2014 and details from other 3. 

Van Gogh Alive. Exhibition-meditation.

Vincent van Gogh is a great example of World's need in mad artists. It makes us feel that art and unusual life are only for mads. And we say to children: "Oh, it's famous painter, he was crazy, he cut off his ear!". And our children become economists and lawyers... In my view, Vincent was just great example of someone who looks for love and truth. Not more crazy than others but more honest with himself. 

ARCHIDAY

I don't know when and why I became to love architecture. It was even before I fell in love with Ted Mosby, but it happened. And now buildings and other elements of urban environment are alive and close for me. Not because of bricks and boards, but due to architects who put soul inside each brick. And everything in this post is about it.

Sunday evening in Gorky Park

Gorky Park is a really big love of Moscovites. It's the place where you can walk, eat, read, dance, work, meet new people, sport and even sleep at summer nights and feel yourself very safe. There are lots of special events in summer: grand festivals, music shows that you can listen on a grass, open cinema, dance lessons, parties, many sport activities...In fact, when you come there and see so many old people on rollers you feel yourself in a parallel reality.

In this post I want to show you photos from one walk in a warm winter evening. And not only...

MOSCOW INSIDE: Seventies Rock Photography and one unusual art place

Not all business projects are good. Usually they're more commercial than kind.
But The Lumiere brothers Center for Photography is an exception. People here love photography and make great exhibitions and events about real people for real people. 
(As a person who spent there 5 months as a member of team I can say surely).

The Place where Russia begins

It would be a crime to not start from the heart of Moscow and the whole country - Red Square.
