WALKING ABOUT MOSCOW/"ПРОГУЛКИ ПО МОСКВЕ"
Cities are like people, every city has its own face, character, its destiny; you can make friends with a city like you do with a man. All you need for it, is to make acquaintance with it... and to fall in love.
Ornament heading
WALKING ABOUT MOSCOW is neither an encyclopedia nor a guide - it is much more than that! It is an invitation to a marvelous trip. You will travel there accompanied by Sergei Sokurenko - the journalist from the 'Echo of Moscow' radio.
