Globus in Moscow
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011Our Russian Language School in Moscow is conveniently located in one of Moscow’s most attractive and historical areas, Chistye Prudy, close to the metro station and just 15 minutes walking distance from the Red Square and the Kremlin. The local area also offers a wide range of pubs, clubs and international restaurants, as well as museums and art galleries. 
Moscow is an enormous city. Its size is utterly incomprehensible to the first time visitor. But with a little time and effort you come to realize that the city is perfectly manageable. You get what you give in this city. It doesn’t hand you cultural delights on a plate, rather you have to go out and find them. Moscow isn’t a city designed for tourists – there is very little visible English on the streets, but this just adds to the charm of the place. There is an endless amount of things to see and do here. It is a city of contrasts, where old, crumbling, Soviet architecture and ultra modern monoliths stand side by side. Moscow is currently in a bewildered state of change and this makes the atmosphere electric. The Soviet Union may have long gone, but evidence of its existence is literally everywhere, from hammer and sickles, to iconic statues of Stalin and Zhukov. Stalinist architecture dominates the skyline, an eerie reminder of a past which ironically co-exists with a new Russian hell-bent on Europeanisation.
