No bikes in russian streets? they are the fastest way to move around the chaotic traffic city and transport small cargo. here in Brazil they collaborate to a more dangerous and catastrophic transit. and also makes 30 km with one liter of gasoline.
I know would be suicide ride an bike in the Russian winter, but common, i see no ice in these pictures…
So, why to ask, if you already know a correct answer? It is not Brasil. In the city where seven months a year are plain cold, of course there are not much bikes on the streets, even in summer. They’re simply unpopular.
Most of the time it’s either too cold or the streets are too wet & muddy. There are no bike lanes and drivers are rather aggressive. Enthusiasts do cycle a lot, but overall it is not a popular way of transportation.
I see lots of apartments, lots of traffic on the streets, but no parking areas around the apartments. Do you have traffic congestion or just nowhere to park?
What’s that big white building that looks like something from Disneyland?
What a football staduim with seating only for the home fans?
There are no parking areas around the apartment blocks because these were built in times of USSR, when a car for personal use was something from a sci-fi movie. Politically aware inhabitant of worker´s paradise was supposed to use public transport. These ugly buildings plague each and every country formerly occupied by USSR and nobody knows what to do with them. I blame Le Corbusier for coming up with this silly idea!
Wow, the traffic there is almost as bad as Atlanta, but not quite. Atlanta officially has thhe worst traffic in the US, recently beating LA in terms of average commute time.

Medvedev and Putin suck!
Beautiful…
…and first 🙂
Isn’t there an accident on the first picture, on the right? That lorry seems to have crashed into the side barrier 😀
That palace is beautiful, I saw it for the first time a few months ago.
It’s a palace of our queen!
Well, former queen 😀 cathrin II
I live near, and i was inside =) about 10 years ago, when nobody guard it…
Long live Moscow,the eternal diamond of Russian crown! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Wow more mulchly greener than I wood have expected.
Yes, well, Moscow… it will always be an overgrown provincial town missing the grandeur of Sankt Peterburg
Saint Petersburg you twit 🙂
O rly? 😉 Then tell me, Captain Obvious, why Moscow in English is «Moscow», not «Moskva» as it in Russian. The same about St.Pete, btw.
Wow, some awesome architecture.
Looks great in places, more greenery than I would of expected.
*just curious*
What did you expect? Barad-Dur with the Dark Tower in the middle or somethin’? 😀
+1
Moscow looks great in summer & winter, but NOT in autumn/spring, when there’s a lot of mud! That’s our climate… 😉
Funny to see all the cute small onions. Well, not exactly London or Rome…
This is much better than Rome and London has one great building and that’s the palace next to big ben.
None of this is the city center.

а) Bikes? Firstly, not in this climate; secondly, they’re too dangerous.
b) No ice on photos because it is summer 😉

Rly? Tell us, pls.

I’m amazed it looks so European, don’t know why I should be but I am. All those high rise buildings are they post communism?

If you look closely into the window of home, you can see fine Russian porn being photographed
BJs, donkeys… You’re bloody perv, did ya know that? 😀
addressed 2 pettar of course.
Interesting but, with all there is to photograph why the fascination with sewage treatment plants ?
Sankt Peterburg is the exact transliteration form Russian. Saint Petersburg is some backward dump in Florida, you anglosaxon pufter.
Maybe because there are much better girls and vodka in Moscow, you want to say?
Nice pix but a couple of questions.
I see lots of apartments, lots of traffic on the streets, but no parking areas around the apartments. Do you have traffic congestion or just nowhere to park?

Are there NO private homes?
Learn russian before you make some absurd comment.

Yes, but Le Ccorbusier was not the only one to promote huge apartment complexes. And the eastern block was not the only place to find them.
The photographer’s name is Marina, not Maria.
Also surname should probably transliterrated as Lystseva.
And last but not least some photos are not from Moscow, but a small town nearby, Zhukovskiy.
Beautiful pictures, but this is quite a nasty pollution you got there :S

have you never heard of nuclear plants. oops
Wow, Moscow is getting bigger and bigger. Too bad it is become one of those cities that are designed for cars, not its residents.

Hi, Americans!! Russia will associate, sooner or later, to the European Union.
