Fantastic thread frens. Looking forward to hearing more reports from you, Anosha.
I was in Moscow nearly 25 years ago, the week that the sub Kursk went down in the Berends Sea. The western influence was minimal at the time, at least for a tourist (there were only two "Western" hotels - I stayed at the Marriot on Tverskiya Street). Going through immigration in Sherementyevo was an experience. I found the city and the Russian people incredibly fascinating.
We stayed in an apartment near the swanky hotels on Novy Arbat the summer of 2020 and laughed and laughed at the huge lightboard with Nike BLM ads running on loop. So much money and zero people interested in any way.
