The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Presnensky, Central Russia
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

Alexander Pushkin, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy - these names are well-known to anyone who is interested in Russia. Not many foreigners know that Pushkin's ancestors came from Africa - most experts say that from Ethiopia but some claim that from Cameroon. One way or another, everybody agrees that he's the father of both modern Russian language and Russian literature. To my mind, this monument which I visited together with my grandchildren in January, during New Year holidays, is the most elegant in Moscow. There were so many joyful people around, everybody smiled, enjoyed snowy but mild weather and I thought that our great poet would have loved to see this merry crowd around him. He was such a lover of life himself, after all... Strongly recommended!
