Moscow is not Lenin, it’s not Stalin,
it has nothing to do with the Beatles, Ivan Drago or James

and lavish shopping malls next to Soviet statues. You will
see citizens shopping for Adidas, Nike and Gucci products
a mere mile from the famous Red

media image you’ve seen of the city. It is neither poverty
stricken nor a militant metropolis. Parades today don’t
include thousands of troops, tanks and missiles. You won’t
