How long have you been doing photography? What style or genre most interests you? Two years. I like to capture images of cities and street photography.

Can you give us a short description of your city? Where is it located? What is it famous for? Moscow is the capital of Russia. Everybody should visit it at least once. In addition to Red Square, there are a lot of beautiful places in Moscow: the historical streets and cozy, wonderful parks, modern architecture, houses and shops with history. There are no bears in modern Moscow, and our men do not wear pile field caps:) Welcome!

What is something about your city that only locals would know? I suppose Moscow is too well-known as a city, so everything about it is already widely known.

Which places or sites are a must for someone to see if they visit your city? Metro; Moscow City observation deck; Tsaritsyno Park, Kuskovo Park; Gorky Park, Stalin's skyscrapers; Moscow Zoo; Ostankino Tower; Alexander Garden.

Fearful Majesty

Fearful Majesty

This acclaimed biography of one of Russia’s most important and tyrannical rulers is not only a rich, readable biography, it is also surprisingly timely, revealing how many of the issues Russia faces today have their roots in Ivan’s reign.
Murder at the Dacha

Murder at the Dacha

Senior Lieutenant Pavel Matyushkin has a problem. Several, actually. Not the least of them is the fact that a powerful Soviet boss has been murdered, and Matyushkin's surly commander has given him an unreasonably short time frame to close the case.
Dostoyevsky Bilingual

Dostoyevsky Bilingual

Bilingual series of short, lesser known, but highly significant works that show the traditional view of Dostoyevsky as a dour, intense, philosophical writer to be unnecessarily one-sided. 
Woe From Wit (bilingual)

Woe From Wit (bilingual)

One of the most famous works of Russian literature, the four-act comedy in verse Woe from Wit skewers staid, nineteenth century Russian society, and it positively teems with “winged phrases” that are essential colloquialisms for students of Russian and Russian culture.
Steppe / Степь (bilingual)

Steppe / Степь (bilingual)

This is the work that made Chekhov, launching his career as a writer and playwright of national and international renown. Retranslated and updated, this new bilingual edition is a super way to improve your Russian.
White Magic

White Magic

The thirteen tales in this volume – all written by Russian émigrés, writers who fled their native country in the early twentieth century – contain a fair dose of magic and mysticism, of terror and the supernatural. There are Petersburg revenants, grief-stricken avengers, Lithuanian vampires, flying skeletons, murders and duels, and even a ghostly Edgar Allen Poe.
Okudzhava Bilingual

Okudzhava Bilingual

Poems, songs and autobiographical sketches by Bulat Okudzhava, the king of the Russian bards.
