Description
What comes first to mind when you hear Russia and Moscow? Red Square, KGB, spies, Borsh?
This virtual presentation is made to tell you what stands behind all these words. Learn about Russia and its traditions by walking live online with your Moscow guide. What we will do:
- Uncover the mystery of why Red Square is called Red!
- See the State Department Store (GUM), once the Upper Trading Stalls, which were built over a century ago and still operating!
- Admire the lovely St. Basil's Cathedral and count its domes (why so many?)
- Walk by Lobnoye Mesto (literally meaning "Execution Place", or "Place of Skulls"), once the stage for religious ceremonies, speeches, and important events for Ivan the Terrible.
- Learn about Russian culture from the local through relaxed cultural discussions without leaving your home.
