Miniature Moscow. Back in the tiny USSR.
A sculpture park of the tossed aside relics of the USSR, from Stalin to a massive Soviet emblem. With the fall of the USSR, the thousands of Soviet statues were destroyed or dispersed. Some ended up here in the Fallen Monument Park. Also known as Art Muzeon or Park of the Fallen Heroes, the park has mutilated busts of Stalin, as well as those of Lenin and a statue of Dzerzhinsky, the founder of what became the KGB. There’s a massive Soviet emblem, and clusters of modern art contrasting with the very non-conceptual Communist monuments. There is a small charge to enter the park. Due to development in the area, its future is currently uncertain.

This striking building in Moscow, Russia, is nicknamed for the fantastic animals that frolic amid a swath of its front-facing wall—familiar critters like owls and ducks alongside make-believe beasts from chimeras to dragons. The closest metro station is Chistye Prudy.

Lubyanka was the heart of darkness of the old USSR, the fabled headquarters of the KGB and home of an infamous jail where spies, political dissidents, and various enemies of the State were imprisoned, interrogated, and tortured. An old joke called Lubyanka the tallest building in Moscow, since Siberia could be seen from its basement.

Back in the era when they were built, no mere mortal could enter the Seven Sisters. Outrageous legends started circulating. Cold war paranoia set in and one rumor claimed that Hotel Ukraina’s pointed dome hid a rocket launching platform. Regardless of the rumors, Hotel Ukraina was a magnificent sight, even more so against the drab backdrop of Moscow streets. 198 meters, and 34 floors high, it is still Europe’s tallest hotel. The building was designed by Arkady Mordvinov and Vyacheslav Oltarzhevsky. Oltarzhevsky was at the time the leading Soviet expert of steel-framed highrise constructions. The hotel is situated on the riverbank and the construction of such a large structure required foundations much deeper then the water line. This was solved by an ingenious water retention system, using a perimeter of so called needle pumps driven deep into ground.

Aquarelle Train on The Moscow Metro Museum design and public transportation meet in this unique Russian train car. The Aquarelle Train has been running its route since June 1st, 2007, Moscow’s “Year of the Child.” The stated goal of the Aquarelle Train being to remind adults riding the train of the child-like sense of discovery that art can bring. In addition to the watercolor train there are three other themed trains running on the Red Line including a Reading Train, Poetry Train, and Retro Train, designed to look like the very first train car that ever operated on the Moscow Metro. With so much to see on the line, the destination hardly matters. Know Before You Go The Aquarelle Train can be found running on the Arbatsko-Porkovskaya Line. This address is for the Biblioteka Imeni Lenina metro stop, which is a central station.

Sokol An early-20th-century "dacha" village of quaint cottages curiously located in a modern part of Moscow. If you happen to stumble across Sokol while exploring Moscow, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d somehow left the city. The quaint dachas (Russian country cottages) that dot the tree-lined streets make this neighborhood look more like a rural village than an urban settlement.

Melnikov House The avant-garde design was able to bypass strict Soviet regulations on architecture. In 1929, private property was forbidden by Lenin’s New Economic Movement, which considered everything in the Soviet Union to be owned by the state. Under the guise of designing a model for economizing space and materials, architect Konstantin Melnikov was given special permission build an experimental house to be used as a model for future homes. Though no other houses came from it, his family was able to live in the distinctive structure.

Padlock Tree Park Dozens of padlock-trees along the Moscow River. Rows of dozens of trees, each one housing hundreds if not thousands of padlocks, adorn the banks of the Moscow River and symbolize a couple’s eternal love in marriage. When a couple get married, they write their names on a padlock (which is often the shape of a heart), lock it to some free space on one of the metal tree frames, and toss the key into the river. Although the practice is common in many other countries, the iron trees that lovers affix their lock to make Moscow’s bridge of love a unique and romantic site. It is not uncommon to see newlyweds on the bridge, and even brides in their wedding gowns, kissing just before clicking down their padlock of love on Luzhkov Bridge.

Old English Yard The "Mystery and Company of Merchant Adventurers" is an Elizabethan-era hangout in Moscow.

Many dictators in history have sought to leave a permanent architectural mark on their own imperial capitals. The “Seven Sisters of Moscow,” seven giant neo-gothic skyscrapers are Stalin’s permanent architectural mark or, as some would say, monuments of his megalomania. The administrative building at Red Gates Square is arguably the least well known of the Seven Sisters, yet its construction holds the most interesting story. Moscow is a city built on a marshy ground, most of it ill suited for grandiose architectural undertakings, yet the builders of the brave new world, encouraged by the successes of soviet science were undeterred by such obstacles. In order to fulfill the original building plan they resorted to cryotechnology.

Independent Republic of California Embassy in Moscow Louis Marinelli, one of the leading champions of California’s secession from the United States, has tried several times over the past few years to establish The Golden State as an independent nation. But the most recent “Calexit” effort made strides none of his previous attempts had, following the 2016 U.S. presidential election—including opening its first foreign embassy, in Moscow. The embassy—located, strangely enough, in a brutalist building that formerly housed Cold War-era chemical weapons designers—doubles as a cultural center for Russians to come and learn about California’s history. When it opened, Marinelli was careful to let people know that if they wanted to visit California from Russia, they still have to go through the United States Embassy. At the rate things are going, even if the embassy stays open, that will probably remain the case for the foreseeable future.

Romanov Boyar Residence Before becoming the Tzars of the Russian Empire, Romanovs were one of many aristocratic families jousting for power in the murky waters of imperial court politics. The family traces its lineage to second half of the 13th century. During these first centuries family changed the name several times. During the time of Ivan the Terrible, when their power begun to rise they were still known as Zakharin-Yuriev. The basis of operations for the powerful clan was this unassuming building in the so called Zaryadye in Moscow, very near but comfortably outside of Kremlin walls, and close to the merchants of Kitai Gorod district. Eventually in 1917, after over 300 years of rule, the Romanovs were lined up and killed by their own guards during the Russian revolution. In a bizarre scene, the younger Romanov girls were not killed by the shots as their corsets were stuffed with jewels which stopped the bullets, the guards attempted to stab them and thier bayonets glanced off the jewels. At this point the guards began to fear that the old legend of the Romanovs having supernatural powers and that controlled the throne by divine right was true. The guards finally shot the remaining Romonov girls in the head, and ended the Romanov rule of Russia.

The main building of Moscow State Lomonosov University looks more like a piece of scenery from a Batman movie than the home to the most prestigious institution of higher education in all of Russia. This building is the largest of fabled Seven Sisters of Moscow, a series of neo-gothic skyscrapers built in elaborate imperial style of Stalin’s era. Its design is work of Lev Vladimirovich Rudnev. The construction started in 1949 and at 240m tall, for decades it was the tallest building in Europe.

Gorki Leninskiye Former estate of Lenin, now home to his death mask. This palatial estate was the final home of the Soviet leader Lenin, and is now preserved as a museum to his memory. Among the numerous possessions on display are his Rolls Royce Silver Ghost ready for snow, a reconstruction of his Kremlin office, and his Last Testament. However, the centerpiece is definitely his death mask, showing both his face and hands from his last evening in 1924. A close examination of the hands shows evidence of his stroke. The face and hands were sculpted by sculptor Sergei Merkurov, who would go on to sculpt hundreds of death masks, including other leaders of the Soviet Union.

Peter the Great Statue One of the world's tallest statues is also one of its most hated. In this gigantic statue, Peter the Great stands proudly atop a tower of ships, clutching a golden scroll in his hand. He looks like a poised, triumphant ruler ready to conquer the seas. But unfortunately, this statue can’t even conquer the public’s approval. Moscow locals aren’t a fan of the behemoth work of art. Nor, it seems, is anyone else for that matter. The statue has been frequently voted among the ugliest buildings and statues in the world. At 322 feet tall—it’s the eighth tallest statue in the world—the tribute to the great Russian leader is viewed as more of an enormous riverside eyesore than a fitting tribute to a legendary emperor.

The 'Golden Brains' Some Moscow residents once claimed the bizarre, contorted mass of metal on top of the building was used to manipulate minds. Moscow’s RAN (Rossiiskaia akademiia nauk) building is a strange and unique Soviet project that houses a branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Under dark grey winter skies, one might wonder where its nickname, “Golden Brains,” came from—perhaps the students admitted were exceptionally bright? But when the sun emerges, the reasoning becomes abundantly clear.

Советская эстетика периодически становится источником вдохновения для интернет-мемов и других культурных проявлений нашего времени. В Москве осталось несколько заведений, которые хранят атрибуты 60-80-х годов: от предметов интерьера до традиционного меню.
Настоящая советская чебуречная. Тут нет стульев, только высокие столы. Культ этого места поддерживается только одним видом чебурека, который здесь подают уже больше тридцати лет – чебурек с говядиной, 40 рублей. Алкоголь не дороже 160 рублей и чаи, соки, воды не дороже 50. Посуда одноразовая, за нее тоже придется платить. Чебуречная подружила уже не одно покололение, кого тут только не встретишь вечером. Кстати, здесь нельзя курить.

«Советские времена» Здесь напитки подаются в традиционных графинах с надколотым горлышком, а чай приносят в граненых стаканах.

Пока чебуреки кипят в масле, можно окунуться в ушедшую эпоху и насладиться добрыми мелодиями 80-х. С экрана телевизора транслируют старые передачи и винтажные фотографии Москвы.

На третьем этаже ГУМа обосновалась «Столовая №57», одно из немногих мест в центре Москвы, где можно вкусно, быстро и недорого поесть. Меню заведения — настоящий гастрономический аттракцион, который позволяет иностранцам познакомиться с главными хитами классической советской кухни, а местной публике — вдоволь поностальгировать о былом. Борщ и рассольник, запеканка и котлеты по-киевски, оливье, селёдка под шубой, пельмени, бутерброды с колбасой, компот и бессмертное пирожное «Картошка» — всё это здесь готовят отменно. По этой причине в столовую иногда просто не пробиться. К счастью, просторный зал вмещает много посетителей, а очередь можно запросто интерпретировать как ещё один — вполне характерный — атрибут прошлого. Система обслуживания здесь тоже традиционная. «Поел — будь добр убрать за собой!» — гласят советские плакаты, украшающие интерьер этого поистине народного заведения.

А на десерт вкуснейший торт «Наполеон».

В заведении просторные залы, которые разделяет открытая кухня, на которой расположен настоящий гриль на углях. Интерьер ресторана дарит посетителям атмосферу сказочной страны, которой уже нет. По выходным здесь проходят красочные детские праздники. Детей учат готовить конфеты, печенье, лепить из марципана сказочных героев, знакомят с рецептами различных сладостей. Тут же работают мастера аквагрима, которые за пару минут превратят ребенка в супер-героя или фею.
Ресторан «Главпивторг» Располагается в бывшем здании Министерства автотранспорта СССР и хранит классический министерский стиль. Красная ковровая дорожка ведёт в «Зал заседаний», к столам под зелёным сукном. Меню ресторана вторит рецептам из любимой многими «Книги о вкусной и здоровой пище»: здесь вам и винегрет с балтийской килькой, и сельдь под шубой, и харчо, уха с расстегаем.
