One step beyond reality...
With Moscow doing its best to impress both foreigners and natives, implementing latest technologies, developing infrastructure and adapting to the world standards of living, one may hardly imagine mystery and magic hiding behind walls and prospects of the Russian capital. However, there are many places where the very atmosphere may puzzle visitors falling short of rational explanation. Here we’ve picked up the places you may come across while touring around the center.
Patriarshiye Ponds
One of the most picturesque yards in the old city center, surrounded by respectable blocks of flats, embassies, nice small restaurants, Patriarshiye Ponds are equally loved by hipsters, moms with babies and senior citizens. The place is widely associated with the supernatural thanks to prominent Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov, whose front novel “The Master and Margarita” begins exactly here, near the pond. Berlioz and Bezdomny sit on the bench in front of one of the houses (Malaya Bronnaya, 32). Bulgakov’s fans turned the place into one of the memorials to him and his artistic legacy and claim that the best way to feel the mystery of the novel is to come to the Patriarshiye Ponds. Other symbolic buildings from the novel can also be found in Moscow.
